Fresh extract of herbs

Centaurium is well known to herbalists as a ‘stomach bitter’ – one of the classes of herbs with bitter taste and used to aid digestion. For these herbs, it is important to taste the bitterness – and because of this, it is better to use herbs such as Centaurium as a tincture taken 5 minutes before meals.

What is Centaurium (Centaury)?

Centaurium umbellatum, used in our Centaurium tincture, is a small plant with purple flowers. It may be found in many parts of the world but especially in Middle Europe and Asia. The classification of the group of plants known as Centaurium is still in discussion and because of this, Centaurium umbellatum is sometimes also referred to as Centaurium erythrea.

It is said that the group of plants named Centaurium derived its name from the centaur Chiron, well known in Greek mythology for his skills as a herbalist.

“Tastes horrid but then it's supposed to be bitter so I diluted it a little more.”

Response from A.Vogel: You are spot on, it's the bitter taste that starts Centauriums effects.

“I have used the product before "Centaurium" from Vogel. After taking anti-inflams for many years and getting the obvious bad guts, the next step is to take "Omeprazole" to settle the stomach, but that didn't work after a while, I was adviced at a health food shop of this tincture and it worked wonders. So now every time I have a bad bout of gut ache I go on Centaurium for a week of two and it works a treat.”

Response from A.Vogel: Brilliant feedback, and more importantly, result.
