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.

“I have been using this a few weeks now, it really works for stomach problems, I've found I usually only need about 7 drops now on my evening meal, & occasionally lunch I take about 3-4drops, I still sometimes have to use Gaviscon at night, I don't get the awful hiatus hernia pain tho that I was getting. I would highly recommend this product.”
