Bitter herbs are used in western herbal medicine for maintaining
healthy digestive function. As gastric secretion declines with age, a
significant percentage of people aged 65 years or older have abnormally
low gastric acidity. Low acidity can lead to poor nutrient absorption
and abnormal bowel flora. When bitter substances are tasted at the back
of the tongue prior to a meal, they have a priming effect on the upper
digestive function - this is most noticeable if digestion is below
optimum.
