swedish bitters

Mamita49

Swedish Bitters is a 500 year old herbal remedy created by Dr. Phillipus Paracelsus, a 16^th century Swiss Physician. It is composed of 11 herbs ~ Aloe, Myrrh, Saffron, Senna leaves, Camphor, Rhubarb roots, Zedvoary roots, Manna, Theriac Venezian, Carline Thistle roots and Angelica roots in a base of water and alcohol.
It got its name from Dr. Claus Samst, a Swedish Physician who practiced medicine in the 1800's.He used it extensively with his patients with exceptional results.The recipe he used was found in his office desk drawer, after his untimely death at 104 of a horseback riding accident.
Maria Treben, the reknowned Austrian herbalist, is credited with re-discovering Swedish Bitters shortly after WW II.Since then, it has become the most popular health tonic in Europe, commonly known as the Long Life Elixir.  I read that somewhere......Does anyone have heard about this???

Yes, I did. We even made a tonic 10 or so years ago and used it as needed. I know it is recommended one small spoon in am for immunity. My husband used it for oral problems and it helped immediately. It is a good tonic, it takes three weeks to be made but it is worthed and it could last for years (made with alcohol).

Thank You for reminding me of it.
