Regarding bitters:
If I was bitter before reading this thread, the generous, kindly offered information contributed by Hveragerthi has changed my heart, and my digestion. Caught here in this thread, in these conversations, in Hveragerthi's help, in our responses and questions, in the knowledges generated, are the kindness and generosity of being, an intelligence and education, an openness and receptivity, a givingness for which we all are searching. My digestion is better, my heart open.
Thank you, all.
