It grows in mountain meadows and alpine pastures of the Alps, Pyrenees, Apennines and the Balkans, mostly between 800 and 2,000 meters. Its root can become as thick as an arm and reach a meter deep \u2013 and that is precisely the problem: A plant needs around ten years until its first flowering, and harvesting means its death.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the yellow gentian is protected in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. <strong>Nature conservation<\/strong>; Wild harvesting is prohibited or strictly regulated. Gentian root used in pharmacies and distilleries comes from cultivation or licensed harvesting in Southeast Europe. For home use, this simply means: you buy gentian root, you don&#039;t dig it up.<\/p>\n<p>A widespread misconception concerns the <strong>Gentian schnapps<\/strong>It is not made from the small blue gentian blossoms that everyone knows from the mountains, but from the fermented <strong>Root of the yellow gentian<\/strong>. That&#039;s why it&#039;s clear and not blue, why it tastes earthy and bitter instead of floral, and why real gentian brandy costs so much: It takes several kilograms of root from plants that have grown for a decade to make one liter.<\/p>\n<p>And then there&#039;s the mix-up you need to be aware of. The <strong>White hellebore<\/strong> (<em>Veratrum album<\/em>It grows on the same mountain meadows and looks almost identical before flowering \u2013 it is highly poisonous and has repeatedly led to severe, even fatal, poisonings, mostly when making &quot;gentian schnapps&quot;. The distinguishing feature is simple and reliable: <strong>The leaves of the gentian are opposite, i.e., arranged in pairs opposite each other; those of the false hellebore are alternate, i.e., staggered.<\/strong> Furthermore, false hellebore leaves are distinctly hairy and longitudinally wrinkled, while gentian leaves are hairless and smooth.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"ea-k\" id=\"nutzen\">\n<h2><span>To use<\/span>What gentian root can do for you<\/h2>\n<p class=\"ea-drop\">The gentian root is the <strong>strongest bitter substance found in our medicinal plants<\/strong> Its bitterness value ranges between 10,000 and 30,000, thus even exceeding that of wormwood. The European Medicines Agency and Commission E list it as <strong>Loss of appetite<\/strong> and <strong>dyspeptic complaints<\/strong> Symptoms include bloating and flatulence. The principle of action is that of bitter substances in general and begins on the tongue: Bitter receptors trigger a reflex via the vagus nerve, which stimulates the production of saliva, gastric juices, and bile \u2013 even before food reaches the stomach.<\/p>\n<p>What distinguishes gentian from other bitter herbs is the <strong>Purity of bitterness<\/strong>. It contains virtually no essential oil or tannins that could be considered offensive; it is bitter and almost nothing else. Therefore, it is the reference drug against which bitterness values are measured, and therefore it is used as a bittering component in bitters and aperitifs. Another advantage over wormwood: <strong>It contains no thujone<\/strong>, which is why it can be used without its strict time limit.<\/p>\n<p>The same rules apply to its use as to all bitter herbs, and they are the most common reason why it doesn&#039;t work. <strong>Twenty to thirty minutes before eating<\/strong>, because the reflex needs lead time. <strong>Unsweetened<\/strong>, because sugar blocks precisely the receptor in question. And <strong>in small quantities<\/strong> - Half a teaspoon per cup is perfectly sufficient; at significantly higher doses, the effect reverses and the drug irritates the stomach lining instead of stimulating it.<\/p>\n<p>A word of context: Bitter substances have become popular in recent years as a &quot;bitter substance cure,&quot; with far-reaching promises ranging from detoxification to weight loss. What is actually proven is the stimulation of digestive secretions and thus the recognized use for loss of appetite and bloating. This is sound and helpful\u2014but it&#039;s nothing more than that. And loss of appetite lasting for weeks or unintentional weight loss should be medically evaluated before being treated with bitter substances.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ea-zahlen\">\n<div class=\"ea-zahl\"><b>10.000\u201330.000<\/b><span>Bitterness - the bitterest medicinal drug in our flora<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ea-zahl\"><b>Amarogentin<\/b><span>still perceptible at a dilution of 1 to 58 million<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ea-zahl\"><b>10 years<\/b><span>until the first flowering - that&#039;s why the plant is protected<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ea-zahl\"><b>Opposite<\/b><span>the leaves - in the case of the deadly poisonous hellebore, they are arranged alternately<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"ea-k\" id=\"inhalt\">\n<h2><span>Ingredients<\/span>It&#039;s in the root.<\/h2>\n<p>The bitterness comes from <strong>Secoiridoid glycosides<\/strong>. The most important in terms of quantity is <strong>Gentiopicroside<\/strong> with two to four percent. But the real star is <strong>Amarogentin<\/strong>, which only occurs in trace amounts and yet carries the majority of the bitter impression: It is considered the <strong>bitterest known natural substance<\/strong> and is still perceptible at a dilution of one to 58 million. Theoretically, a single gram is enough to make 58,000 liters of water bitter.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the root contains <strong>Gentianose<\/strong> Gentian contains gentiobiosis \u2013 sugars responsible for the surprisingly sweet initial impression before the bitterness sets in \u2013 as well as xanthones like gentlesin, which give the dried root its yellow color, and pectins and mucilage. Essential oil and tannins are practically absent, and this is precisely what makes gentian a &quot;pure&quot; bitter herb.<\/p>\n<p>For preparation purposes, this means: The bitter substances are highly water-soluble, a <strong>cold extract<\/strong> Steeping it for several hours works just as well as a short, hot infusion. The only important thing is the amount \u2013 half a teaspoon per cup.
