BENEFITS
A fast-acting blend of digestive bitters used before or after meals to support digestion, occasional gas and bloating.*
- Supports healthy digestion before meals for optimal nutrient absorption.
- Encourages natural enzyme activity to ease occasional bloating and sluggishness.
- Take before meals to awaken your digestive fire and help your body break down food with ease.
HOW TO USE
About 15 minutes before meals, spray 6-10 times (approx. 1ml) on the tongue and let yourself fully taste the flavors before swallowing. The taste is part of the medicine, as bitter plant compounds on the taste buds have a top-down effect on digestive health and secretions.
If you forget to take before your food, no worries, take your sprays afterwards for support. Digestive Juice can be used any time of day when comfort is desired or occasional gas and bloating arises.

KEY INGREDIENTS
"Bitters" were some of the first herbs I learned about in my clinical program, and as a life-long digestive-issue-gal, I was hooked. I couldn't believe that gnarly tasting herbs before a meal could make this much of a difference, but they took me from always in fear of being bloated or uncomfortable, to feeling completely equipped and at ease. I knew I had to share this tool from the rooftops!

The forgotten tradition
Gentian
Gentiana lutea
Gentian is one of the most powerful digestive bitter tonics we have. Used traditionally for damp heat and stagnation in the stomach and liver meridians, she gives us a boost to say goodbye to what is no longer serving us (whether that’s something physical we need to eliminate through the digestive system, or thoughts and beliefs we’ve been chewing on).*

INSIDE THE FORMULA
Each herb within this blend has been expertly combined to compliment one another and selected for their traditional usage as “digestive bitters.” Certain bitters were chosen for their ‘carminative’ action (occasional gas and bloating support) whereas others, like Orange Peel, encourage the downward movement of Qi during the digestive process so that everything moves smoothly.

One of our favorite herbs for “dampness,” Angelica is the tough-love friend we need to kick us in the butt every once in a while. She’s a bold and spicy digestive tonic that ignites our fire, specifically supporting “cold and sluggish” digestion. This same fire helps to disperse sluggishness of the spirit, with her warmth that stimulates the gut-mind, helping to reawaken our appetite for life.*
For hundreds of years, orange peels have been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine, primarily in immune-supporting and digestive remedies. This often-overlooked part of the fruit is perhaps the most beneficial of all, rich in phytochemicals and bitter compounds that support gut and lung health.*
Closer to a tart berry than an actual grape, the Oregon grape (also known as holly-leaved barberry) is a bitter herb, historically harvested for its roots as a tool for digestive and microbiome health, liver support, and general well-being.*
Not to be confused with the common candy, Licorice Root is an immune-supporting, adaptogenic herb that happens to be naturally sweet on its own.*
Too often dubbed a weed by society, Dandelion needs to get itself a better PR team. Despite its bad rap, Dandelion supports our detoxification pathways from its leaves to its roots.*
Known as a universal herbal ally in TCM, Ginger is able to assist our “digestive fire,” immune health, and even maintain a healthy inflammatory response. Considered a “guiding herb” in formulas, ginger “warms the body and spirit” as it boosts Spleen Qi and supports vitality.*
There’s a reason peppermint is such a common post-meal breath refresher, and it’s not just its taste. This ancient herb helps support a healthy inflammatory response along with microbiome balance systemically, whether it’s providing assistance for digestion, hormones, the nervous system, or even cognition and mental clarity.*
ALL ABOUT
The Formula
-
Based on centuries of tradition.
…
“Bitters” (also called “digestifs”) have been used since ancient times for digestive support and refers to a pre or post meal drink containing extracts of the bark, leaves, roots, or flowers of bitter-tasting plants.
When bitter compounds are detected by our taste buds, digestive secretions are signaled and our bodies are primed to digest the way they’re designed to.* The earliest origins of bitters date back to Ancient Egypt, where digestion-supporting herbs were infused into wine.
-
“Bitter Deficiency”: A Modern Problem?
…
Herbalist Jim McDonald coined the term “Bitter Deficiency”, a notion which suggests that much of the digestive discomfort faced by modern society stems from the lack of “bitter” flavors in our 21st century diets -- we tend to lean towards sweet and savory instead.
By including more bitter vegetables on our plates, and traditional herbal allies in our pre-or-post-meal drinks and tinctures, we can naturally support digestion and digestive secretions.*

The story behind the formula
When I sat down to create my "juice" formulas (a 6-piece collection designed as a toolbox of essentials for daily life that can be rotated and used as needed), I knew having a blend within the line for digestion was top priority. Why? Because when your digestion is off, so is your day. This formula is designed to improve your daily life by supporting healthy digestion at the most fundamental level, so you can enjoy food and meals with ease.*
One of the very first concepts stressed to us in my clinical herbalism program was the importance of all 5 flavors, especially underutilized bitter herbs known as “digestive bitters”. As I began using them myself before meals, I was amazed at the difference such a small change could make, and knew that I needed to honor this tradition with my very own modern spin.
This formula utilizes specific herbs for their ‘carminative’ action (for occasional gas and bloating support) whereas others, like Orange Peel, encourage the downward movement of Qi during the digestive process so that everything moves smoothly.*
