Greater Swedish Bitters

Swedish Bitters is a herbal mix that was found in the pharmacopeias since the Middle Ages and was formulated by Paracelsus sometime in the 16th century. Later it was rediscovered by well-known Swedish physician, rector of medicine, Dr Claus Samst who said the following about Swedish Bitters recipe: “It can be said, and rightly so, that there is hardly any illness where Swedish Bitters is not of benefit, or at least is effective as a basis for every treatment”.  Dr. Claus Samst created a manuscript describing some 46 problems Swedish Bitters has helped relieve during his practice.

In 1980 very well know author and herbalist Maria Treben was introduced to this recipe when she was very ill with typhoid fever in a camp in Bavaria, caused by contaminated meat.
