Tincture of Bitters – A Portrait of the Plants It Contains

Botanical names:
Acorus calamus (calamus), Alpinia galanga (galangal), Artemisia vulgaris (mugwort), Gentiana lutea (yellow gentian), and Taraxacum officinale (dandelion).

Common names:

Mugwort: Feverfew, broomweed
Yellow gentian: Bitter root, mountain gentian
Calamus: German ginger, stomach root
Dandelion: Buttercup, Cowflower
Galangal: Thai ginger, spice galangal

Brief description of the plant:
The five plants in this tincture come from different botanical families and exhibit a fascinating range of forms and active compounds. Mugwort (fam.: Asteraceae) is a perennial herb with pinnately lobed leaves and panicle-like flowers that is widespread in Europe. Yellow gentian (Fam.: Gentianaceae) grows as an imposing mountain plant with a sturdy rootstock and yellow flowers. Calamus (Fam.: Acoraceae) is a reed-like marsh plant with sword-shaped leaves and an aromatic root, native to Asia. Dandelion (Family: Asteraceae) is a robust wild herb with serrated leaves and yellow composite flowers, found worldwide. Galangal (Family: Zingiberaceae) originates from Southeast Asia and forms aromatic rhizomes with lanceolate leaves. What they have in common is the development of strong roots or rhizomes, which are traditionally valued for their bitter compounds—from Alpine meadows to tropical soils.

Special features:
Yellow gentian contains the bitter compound “amarogentin,” which is considered one of the most bitter natural substances in the world—even at a dilution of 1:200,000, it is still distinctly detectable!

History and traditional significance of the five plants

The five plants in our tincture of Bitters have a long tradition in European and Asian botany. Mugwort was already considered an important incense herb in ancient times and was used in ritual customs. Yellow gentian, once feared by mountain farmers as a stubborn weed, is now valued as a protected Alpine plant. Calamus reached Europe via trade routes from the Orient and was cultivated in monastery gardens. Dandelion established itself over centuries as a versatile wild vegetable in traditional cuisine. Galangal, on the other hand, was already a popular spice in the Middle Ages and a component of Hildegard medicine. Together, these plants represent bitterness, historical significance, and an impressive botanical diversity that has unfolded across continents.

Key ingredients

The plants used contain a variety of natural compounds. The relevant groups include:

Bitter compounds (e.g., amarogentin in yellow gentian, sesquiterpene lactones in mugwort)
Essential oils (e.g., asaron in calamus, cineol in mugwort)
Tannins (e.g., in dandelion and calamus)
Flavonoids (e.g., in galangal and dandelion)
Mucilage and inulin (e.g., in dandelion root)

The content of these substances is subject to natural fluctuations.

Our “Tincture of Bitters” from Sagrusan

Plant parts used:
For our compound tincture, we use the roots of galangal, yellow gentian, calamus, and dandelion, as well as the herb of mugwort—all from certified organic cultivation.

Manufacturing instructions:
Our mixed tincture is carefully produced in our Austrian facility according to the alchemical principles of Paracelsus. This process allows us to extract a broad spectrum of the plant’s own substances.

Free from preservatives and colorants.
Bottled in high-quality amber glass (50 ml / 100 ml) for optimal protection.

Why use it as a tincture?

The tincture concentrates soluble plant compounds and makes them available for longer. Alcohol serves as an extractant and preservative and has the major advantage of extracting water- and fat-soluble compounds from the plant. These, in turn, are absorbed quickly and directly through the mucous membranes, enabling high bioavailability and rapid onset of action—ideal even for digestive issues or impaired absorption. An alcohol-free version often cannot extract this range of substances in the same way.
