Spiced Rose Bitters in a Plush Velvet Bag

Why should I take Bitters?

The results of regular bitters in the diet can be strikingly obvious: smooth and efficient digestion, regulated excretion, steady blood sugar, improved bile secretion fat metabolism, and toned stomach and intestinal muscles. Most profoundly, bitters ground the person in the body. Anxiety and stress provoke the fight-or-flight response, also known as the sympathetic nervous system. When the sympathetic nervous system is in charge, our digestion stops working. Often, anxiety and stress result in an “ungrounded” feeling—which can be translated as existing from the lungs, heart, and head—in the top half of our body, or the location of the organs that are in overdrive during the sympathetic phase. Bitters remind our body and our nervous system to slow down and open up the digestion for business.

The bitter principles—the chemicals manufacturing the bitter taste—provide a relaxed state of being that is essential to good absorption and assimilation of the nutrients in our food. It is up to us to provide our body not only with the nutrients for optimal nutrition, but also with a relaxed digestive environment. The Spiced Rose Bitters from the Crooked Crows embody the fragrant, sweet taste of Damask Rose with warming, spicy undertones which will whisk you away with its exotic flavor.
