Lalique Amethyst was inspired from the creation of Rene Lalique: The Collection of " Epines" bathroom accessories, dating from 1920.

Under normal circumstances there is a carefully controlled balance of yeasts & bacteria in our digestive system that acts to maintain health. One of these organisms is a type of yeast termed Candida albicans & is generally no problem to us. However, under certain conditions including antibiotic use, the contraceptive pill & diets high in sugar, uncontrolled overgrowth of this yeast occurs resulting in candidiasis (often simply referred to as candida). This may affect the entire body & can result in a wide range of symptoms including bloating, food intolerance, Athlete's food, headaches & eczema. Indeed it is a condition that many practitioners frequently see in their practice & there are now many books written on the topic. ...

The digestive process is a complex & well-synchronized combination of physical & chemical processes. Our choices of food & quantity together with our mental outlook while eating, have a huge impact on digestion. Chewing & swallowing, which are the beginning of the digestive process, are voluntary actions. After we consciously swallow our food, digestion switches from a voluntary to an involuntary process. While the conscious choices we have made leading up to this point will strongly influence digestion, the rest of the process is out of our direct control. Still, there is one more conscious step we can take to positively impact digestion – take digestive bitters.

Bitters also stimulate the liver & prepare the gall bladder for the release of bile. Using bitters before eating has always been a good idea, but the need for additional bitters has become a necessity as most people have eliminated most of the bitter foods from their diet.

Bitters are a true tonic that should be taken regularly over time in the same way that bitter foods would be consumed. Continued use of Digestive Bitters Compound is not only safe, it is the most effective way to use bitters. The positive effect of bitters on digestion actually increases with time & the full effect is seen only after continued & prolonged use.

Gentian root is considered the quintessential bitter tonic. It is used to strengthen digestion in cases of chronic weakness & during recovery from illness, to enhance poor appetite, to improve digestion of fats & increase assimilation of nutrients. Gentian does not contain any of the essential oils that are associated with aromatic & pungent bitters & therefore possesses a very clean, pure bitter taste. The root is very potent &, amazingly, the bitter taste can be detected in dilutions as weak as one in twenty thous&.

Digestive Bitters Compound also contains aromatic bitters including Angelica root, Hyssop leaf & flower, Juniper berry, Anise seed & Myrrh tears. These herbs are bitter & also contain essential oils that serve to warm the overall energy of the formula & benefit digestion. The warming nature of the compound is further increased by the inclusion of three pungent bitters, Cardamom seed with pod, Ginger rhizome & Cinnamon bark. These additional aromatic & pungent bitters reduce intestinal rumbling & gurgling, act as carminatives to reduce flatulence, relieve indigestion (dyspepsia) & mild nausea, & soothe spasms of the stomach & intestines. Peppermint oil is added as a flavoring & to further reduce gas & calm upset stomach.

The benefits of bitters extend beyond digestion. Bitters increase the tone of the autonomic nervous system that energizes the digestive organs. This effect on the nervous system extends beyond the digestive organs & helps reduce anxiety & overall stress. As a further extension of this action, bitter therapy can boost overall mental outlook. It is thought that bitters positively influence gut-mediated immunity, which is especially beneficial in autoimmune- related gastrointestinal conditions.

Good digestion is considered the foundation of health. It is the gateway for all of the amino acids, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals & herbs that feed & heal our bodies & is thus linked to every other condition in the body. Secondary benefits of bitters therapy include mild but positive effects on blood sugar & blood lipids, easing of constipation & improvement in chronic skin conditions. Also, Digestive Bitters Compound can be a synergetic adjunct to many other herbal compounds.

Digestive Bitters Compound should be taken ten to fifteen minutes before meals to help activate the digestive process. Use twenty to forty drops in a small amount of water, which should be sipped slowly & allowed to mingle with your taste buds. This compound is wonderfully aromatic with an underlying bitter taste. The bitterness may seem a little foreign at first, but the overall aromatic & warming flavor will quickly become a favorite part of every meal.
