Naturlider Gentian Root is characterised by its bitter principles, whose main function is to help improve the functioning of the digestive system and liver. It also acts as a diuretic, anti-inflammatory and cicatrizant, as well as improving the condition of the skin and kidneys.
Gentian Root has traditionally been used to stimulate heavy digestion, as well as to accelerate the elimination of intestinal gas. In this way, it helps to prevent and alleviate the discomfort caused by flatulence, soothing colic and abdominal inflammation.
Similarly, its bitter principles act to stimulate the production of bile fluid, which favours the transformation of fats. This is to avoid the stomach heaviness caused by excessive consumption of these substances, as well as favouring liver function and cholesterol control. This is a task carried out by the gentiamine and sterols contained in this root.
It also helps those suffering from fluid retention, as it promotes urination and thus helps to deflate the body and improve the state of the kidneys and joints. It also lowers blood pressure, as the pressure exerted by excess water in the body raises it.
Gentian root is also rich in zinc, which helps to strengthen the body's defences, which need this mineral to mature properly. It also favours the healing process of the skin and helps to slow the progression of alopecia.
It is also used as an antipyretic, and its vermifuge properties help to eliminate worms and other intestinal parasites.
Farmaciasdirect recommends the use of gentian root for those who suffer from gas accumulation problems, heartburn and skin conditions or hair loss.
It also helps those who suffer from fluid retention, high blood pressure and intestinal parasites.
