Hi Everybody,
My question is: How long can you continuously take Swedish bitters for?
i have been taking Swedish bitters for 7 weeks now and have seen and felt a huge improvement in my digestion (Candida and leaky gut syndrome)but as they saying goes too much of good thing can be a bad thing. i take 1 tsp 20 mins before meals 3x a day. I was thinking of doing 3 weeks on 1 week off rotation.
What do you guys and gals think?
Happy healing :)- Re: How long can you take Swedish bi... Telman

This is a reply to # 2,195,138For the liver.
You take it for 3 weeks and then break for a week. It shouldn't be taken for more that a month. If you are a woman then the weeks break should coincide with your period.

This is a reply to # 2,195,146At sensiblehealth.com/products they are talking about Chinese Bitters, not Swedish Bitters. I would suggest that these are two very different products.

This is a reply to # 2,195,146The information given above is specifically for Chinese Bitters rather Swedish Bitters which you asked about. I apologise for the mistake and thank daizymae for her intervention. I am glad someone is marking the homework.
They are different product. Swedish bitters help the liver through improving digestion. The common ingredients of Swedish Bitters are:
Aloe, Manna, Senna, Rhubarb Root, Zedoary Root, Theriac Venetian, Angelica Root, Carline Thistle Root, Myrrh, Camphor and Saffron.
I would still integrate the use of this herb with a rest period of 1 week in 4.

This is a reply to # 2,195,439I have been using grape bitters for several years, just half a dropper on the tongue to stimulate the vagus nerve.
The trouble with Swedish herbs is that they have laxative herbs in it.
Originally I did what it said on the bottle, but it was too much, I got light headed since it lowered my blood pressure.

Since I am way over 40 I am glad it helps with the stomach acid.

This is a reply to # 2,195,457Yes, correct, they are laxative and in my opinion should only be taken for a period of time. However, for example, rhubarb root is very good for relieving inflammation in the liver.
However, this discussion started because the original post was cross-posted to 6 forums:
1. Liver Flush Forum
2. Candida Forum
3. Digestion Forum
4. Diet Forum
5. Acid Reflux Cure Forum
6. Supplements Forum
I gave an answer mainly from a Liver Flush perspective. Which was then open quite rightly to criticism and qualification from the other forums. In particular Chinese Bitters would not be appropriate for people with a bowel or kidney imbalance.
I often feel uncomfortable about answering cross posts in case I tread on someone's toes. Unfortunately, this carries a risk of conflict because some educators have a tendency to offer advice via proxy rather than take ownership of their own perspective.

This is a reply to # 2,195,481Yes cross posting often makes it complicated, but it is good saying from a Liver-Flush point view. I did it before when I answered a post, so other posters could say from which forum they were posting.
Here is someone who did well with Swedish bitters

I have not been on sensiblehealth website for years, but I was surprised to see that I posted at that time that they had changed from Swedish bitters to Chinese bitters. It probably is like any supplement use it for a certain purpose and it does not mean use it for ever and if you use it for a long time take some breaks.

This is a reply to # 2,195,138I hear you shouldn't take it for too long since it could mess up your electrolyte levels.
