About Sweden Bitter

Few words about Sweden bitter long life elixire

Sweden bitter, also called Swedish tincture or Swedish bitter, is a traditional herbal tonic for stomach and elixir for longevity, which is dating back long time ago – to the 16th century. Its latin name is Elixir ad vitam longam.

Sweden Bitter is an wine and alcoholic mixture of 20 healing herbs and spices, wine, clay, natural camphor and theriac, an ancient remedy in the form of resin

Tincture Elixir ad vitam longam was created by Swiss physician Dr. Philippus Paracelsus, but rediscovered hundred and more years later. The mixture of different medicinal herbs was already long known, but suddenly forgotten. Then Swedish physicians Dr. Klaus Samst and Dr. Urban Hjärne revived it again and its name Swedish bitter or Sweden bitter (ger. Schwedenbitter) derives from the country they came from.

In the world is existing two different recipes for Sweden Bitter – Maria Treben small Sweden bitter and Paracelsus big Sweden bitter.

The differences in ingredients and efficiency are huge.

Today, unfortunately, almost all manufacturers of Sweden Bitter (or Swedish Bitter) make an elixir according to a Small recipe that Maria Treben used for treatment of her patients. This preparation has much fewer ingredients, does not use expensive ingredients and is very cheap to make. Its action is quite different from Paracelsus’ formula.

And everyone puts the name Original Sweden bitter even though no one has the right to call an elixir that has a unique formula that way.

That’s why we decided to make a Golden Sweden Bitter elixir that is closest to the original formula of Paracelsus, which Maria Treban called the Great formula.

In a commercial product, it is not possible to put the original teriac or some ingredients that are prohibited by the modern Pharmacopoeia. But if you understand the way the original tonic was designed, you’ll find a way to make the closest variation.

We even used the old way of brewing with wine and filtering with clay.

We think that with Golden Sweden bitter we have succeeded in this, it works deeper, calmer and more efficiently than all other preparations with the same name.
