I recall mentioning to you (somewhere) that I did not find the Plantary Grape Bitters all that bitter. You said that perhaps I am used to or like bitter tastes, which is partially true, depending on the source. In any event, I recently purchased Jiaogulan tea. I find that to be extraordinarily bitter. Of course I still drink it and assume it's a matter of conditioning. My question is do all bitter tasting things stimulate the vagus nerve and cause the liver to flush? 'Cause I kinda get a weird sensation in the liver area while drinking the tea but it could be my mind playing with me as per usual.

Yes, jiaogulan is quite bitter. This is why I make it half strength by using 1 teabag per two cups of water, then add a little stevia. Tastes really good that way, and not bitter.
Yes, bitters work through stimulation of the vagus nerve through the bitter receptors on the tongue. This cleanses the liver, slightly stimulates the bowels and increases stomach acid, bile secretions and pancreatic enzymes.- Re: Jiaogulan Tea #91565

This is a reply to # 1,490,492Ok. Kewl, then. I can drink it full strength with no problem. I guess I do like bitter. And hot, love spicy foods.

This is so funny! I was going to ask the same exact question.....I bought the bitters from Sensible Health but I have been drinking the Jiaogulan tea and have been making it pretty strong....very bitter tasting.
I'm wondering if I still need to take the bitters?-

I'm wondering if I still need to take the bitters?No, any bitter tasting herb can be used to acheive the same effect as bitters. I have used horehound once and it worked great!!! The only drawback was that it took so long to get rid of the taste, and it really ruined meals. Cape aloe extract was just as bad. It took about 45 minutes to get rid of the taste from one drop even with gum and everything else I could think of.
The bitterness of jiaogulan, silk tassel, and picrorrhiza are strong, but not as long lasting.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,491,080I did buy the Chinese Bitters from Sensible Health but haven't used it yet as I take my time adding different things. I make my own Jiaogulan and Nettle Tea (I have one of those cast iron pots that has the strainer) and drink about 3-4 cups of each per day.
If the tea is giving me the same effect as the bitters would then I will hold off for a while.
Just out of curiousity, if I did take the Chinese Bitters would that be really hard on the liver?- Re: Jiaogulan Tea Hveragerthi

No, but all bitters will cause the liver to detox. If you detox too fast it can cause you to feel a little ill, but this usually does not last more than a few days. Just remember to drink plenty of water througout the day.

on my way to the liquor store now lol:).Yes, Rocky Mountain Pee Water will also work, but also provide a much higher uric acid load, alcoholic stress on the liver, and will play havoc on the brain cells from the acetylaldehyde. On the bright side if you are in to big breasts beer is very estrogenic and plays a role in breast development in male alcoholics. Gin, ouzo and whiskey are also very estrogenic.
By the way did you know that fish guts are used to clarify beer?
