The manufacturer also lists extensive traditional applications for this formula, including digestive complaints, loss of appetite, pain, dizziness, haemorrhoids, epilepsy, liver and kidney ailments, fever, anaemia and supportive therapy for cancer. These represent traditional uses and should not be interpreted as established clinical indications or as evidence that Swedish Bitters can treat these conditions.

Why Choose Pharma Germania Swedish Bitters 19?
Swedish Bitters are based on a longstanding European herbal tradition combining numerous bitter, aromatic and digestive botanicals into a concentrated liquid preparation.
This 19-herb formulation provides a particularly broad botanical combination and includes classic bitter herbs such as Gentian and Wormwood alongside aromatic herbs and traditional stimulant-laxative botanicals.
Because of the potency and complexity of the formula, Swedish Bitters should be regarded as a traditional medicinal herbal preparation rather than an everyday herbal tea.
