Boldo
Boldo leaf is native to the Andean regions of Chile and Peru and is
currently cultivated in Morocco for the distribution to North American and
European markets. Boldo leaf has been used, medicinally, in South America
in the treatment of liver ailments, such as hepatitis and jaundice.
Historically, boldo has been used for a wide variety of disorders from
intestinal problems to gonorrhea, but it has principally played a role in
the treatment of disorders involving the liver, gallbladder, and
gastrointestinal tract. The German Commission E has approved the use of
boldo for the treatment of dyspepsia (discomfort of upper GI tract) as
well as for stomach and intestinal cramps.
Gentian
Named after king Gentius in the first century BC, gentian was highly
regarded for it's supposed ability to reduce fevers. Modern research has
confirmed that the bitter nature of gentian is responsible for it active
properties. For centuries, gentian, or `bitter root' as it is also known,
has been used by herbalists as a digestive aid. Today, gentian is
prescribed as a non-irritating digestive tonic addressing
gastro-intestinal complaints of all sorts. Its action starts in the mouth
as one of the most bitter constituents known to man, amarogentin,
encourages salivary secretions that begin the digestive process. Gentian
offers anti-inflammatory properties and studies have revealed that it also
provides gallbladder and liver support. Most digestive-related complaints
may be eased with gentian, or formulas that include gentian, such as
`Swedish bitters'.
