This old European tonic is claimed to have helped a great variety of health problems. Even today, it is used with great success by many people. This recipe of ingredients was found among the writings of the well-known Swedish physician, Dr. Samst. He died in his 104th year in a riding accident. His parents and grandparents all reached a patriarchal age.

Swedish Bitters is actually a unique formula of eleven herbs and substances, combined using the principle of synergy. The “final elixir has a far greater effect than does the taking of each substance separately. In fact, the art of plant-based medicines lie in combining substances that are mutually beneficial and enhance one another. In the Swedish Bitters formula, the composition of active ingredients has changed and matured over a period covering a couple of hundred years.”

Swedish drops could be used externally as well as applied as a compress on the abdomen.
