Bitters

Bitters inherently turn on the digestive processes, but there are some bitter herbs that are more targeted for supporting the movement of bile, and toxins, from the liver and out through the gallbladder.

Receptors for bitter cover the back of the tongue, and are also found in the lungs, ovaries, pancreas and other tissues. They can trigger numerous biological processes including regulation of blood sugar and activation of the immune system in response to infections.
