Swedish
Bitters got its name from the well-known 18th
century Swedish Physician and Rector of Medicine,
Dr. Claus Samst.
In the
18th Century, Dr Samst rediscovered the
formula through a family tradition. The formula
recorded by Dr Samst is the Swedish Bitters that
we know today. The Swedish doctor also compiled a
manuscript describing the 46 conditions for which
Swedish Bitters can bring relief. Dr Samst himself
lived to be 104 and finally succumbed, not to the
ravages of old age, but as a result of a fall
while out riding!
The actual creation of the formula is credited to
Dr. Phillipus Paracelsus, a
Swiss Physician who lived around 1541.
However, it was Maria
Treben , the distinguished Austrian herbalist,
who brought Swedish
Bitters to the worlds' attention.
Here, in her own words, excerpted from her
book,
is how it all began:
"It sounds almost like a
fairy tale, but it is true. As a refugee from the
German speaking area of Czechoslovakia, I became
ill with typhoid fever in a camp in Bavaria,
caused by contaminated meat and, through it, came
jaundice and an obstruction in the intestines. I
spent more than 6 months in hospital and when my
husband got my mother, my mother-in-law, our child
and myself to Austria, I was a young but sick
woman. At night I was hit by terrible pain that
shot through my body like a sword. In these
moments I could neither sit nor stand, walk nor
lie down; at the same time I vomited and had
diarrhea. I was a helpless bundle of misery. These
were afterpains of the typhoid fever which
sometimes can go on for years, as the doctor said.
One day a woman brought me a small bottle
containing a dark brown, strong smelling liquid.
She had heard of my illness and wanted to help.
The Swedish
Bitters had relieved her of a serious
complaint. Accompanying it was a transcript of an
"old manuscript" in which was explained, in 46
points, how these drops heal every illness. The
recipe came from the writings of a well know
Swedish physician. As stated, all members of his
family had reached an unusually old age. These
drops according to point 43 heal "plague boils and
swellings even if already in the throat". I put
the bottle in the medicine chest. I just did not
believe that these modest drops could give me back
my health, since the doctor could not even help
me. Soon I changed my mind. As I sat in front of a
large basket of ripe pears which needed to be used
up straight away, I had another attack. As I had
been told that these Swedish drops could be used
externally as well, I did not hesitate for long
and applied them as a compress on the abdomen, put
a small plastic bag over the compress and then my
girdle and continued my work. A wonderful warm
feeling spread through my body. Suddenly, it felt
as if with one movement of the hand, everything
morbid in my body was pulled out. I assure you
that with this single compress which I had on the
whole day, all complaints of the preceding months
disappeared, never to return.

"Old Manuscript" - the 46
points
(transcript of Swedish
Bitters curative power)
1. If they are
frequently breathed in or sniffed, the base of the
scull is moistened or a moistened cloth applied to
the head, they dispel pain and dizziness and
strengthen the brain and memory.
2. They help weak
eyes and take away redness and all pain, even if
the eyes are inflamed. They rid them of spots and
cataracts, if the corners are moistened in time or
a moistened piece of cloth is applied to the
closed lids.
3. Pustulas and
eczema of all kinds, as scabs in the nose or
elsewhere on the body, are healed, if they are
often and well moistened.
4. For toothache,
a tablespoon of these drops is taken with a little
water and kept in the mouth for a little while or
the aching tooth is moistened. The pain soon eases
and the putrefaction disappears.
5. Blisters on the
tongue or other infirmities of the tongue are
frequently moistened with the drops and healing
soon occurs.
6. If the throat
is hot or inflamed, so that food is only swallowed
with difficulty, these drops are swallowed slowly,
morning, noon and evening and they take away the
heat and heal the throat.
7. For stomach
cramps, 1 tablespoonful is taken.

Directions
Internally: To assist as a preventative, take
according to the "old manuscript" in the morning
and evening, 1 teaspoonful diluted with water. For
indisposition of any kind, 3 tablespoons diluted
with water can be taken. For serious diseases, 2
to 3 tablespoons are taken as follows: 1
tablespoon diluted with half a cup of herb tea,
half of it is sipped half an hour before and the
other half an hour after each meal.
Compress: According to area, a piece of cotton
wool or gauze is moistened with Swedish Bitters
and applied to the affected area which has been
well covered with lard or Calendula ointment. A
slightly larger piece of plastic is put over it to
prevent the clothes from getting stained. Then a
cloth is wound around or a bandage is used.
The compress can be left on, depending on
illness, for 2 to 4 hours. If tolerated, the
compress can stay on overnight. After removal the
skin is powdered. Should people with sensitive
skin still develop a rash, the compresses have to
be used for a shorter period only or moistened for
a time. People who are allergic to plastic should
leave it off. Never forget to grease the skin
beforehand. If an itching rash has already
developed it can be treated with Calendula
ointment. |
