The tried-and-tested bitter drops now available as a practical spray to take with you

All the plants and herbs used in the Bitter Spray from Unimedica are rich in bitter substances. There used to be a saying that what tastes bitter is healing. Rich food was traditionally accompanied by bitters or other herbal elixirs to help refresh you quickly. But herbal elixirs often contain sugar and alcohol.

The alternative is bitter-tasting vegetables and fruits like grapefruit, chicory or rucola although we rarely consume them. These naturally bitter foods promote alkaline digestion, stimulating the production of digestive juices. But the foods we eat nowadays contain less and less bitter substances. The naturally tart taste is hidden by the addition of sugar and flavouring.

Too much sweet causes sourness

Our  sense of taste has changed over the decades. Industrially processed foods are strongly denatured with too much sugar and salt whereas bitter substances hardly play a role. As children we tend to prefer sweet things. Even originally bitter-tasting fruit and vegetables have lost their bitterness due to modern plant breeding, becoming increasingly sweet.

This influences our sense of taste in the long term and can induce phenomena of overacidity such as burping or heartburn. Sadly our desire for sweet things seems insatiable, which leaves us later fighting the effects of repeated attacks of ravenous hunger.

The Bitter Spray from Unimedica can be a sensible addition

Bitter substances can round off a varied and healthy diet. The advantage of the Bitter Spray from Unimedica compared to a classical herbal liquor is that it does not contain sugar, just natural ingredients. Using the spray 6 times 3 times a day is sufficient to obtain a valuable amount of bitter substances.

Our Bitter Spray contains extracts from 19 selected natural herbs and plant parts. These valuable ingredients of the plants are extracted with the help of alcohol and water from the roots, leaves or flowers.

Each bottle of Bitter Spray from Unimedica contains 50 ml.

VEGAN AND WITHOUT THE FOLLOWING ADDITIVES
