Significance of Plant Bitters In The Field of
Pharmacognosy

Sharma Manish K, Bachwani Mukesh

Bitters are imperative; everyone needs some bitters in their diet. No

traditional culture could have imagined a diet virtually devoid of any

bitter foods—as we seem to have established in most modern diets.

The quality of a plant’s bitterness is widely variable in both character

and degree. Many bitter herbs are more accurately referred to as

foods, while others are decidedly medicinal in their action. Bitter foods

should be considered essential to good nutrition, whereas bitters of a

more medicinal nature should be reserved to address specific

concerns not remedied by dietary bitters. The bitters have been

proven to be effective in curing all allergic, metabolic and

immunological conditions where the diagnosis points to the digestion.
