Centaurium is well known to herbalists as a ‘stomach bitter’ – one of the classes of herbs with bitter taste and used to aid digestion. For these herbs, it is important to taste the bitterness – and because of this, it is better to use herbs such as Centaurium as a tincture taken 5 minutes before meals.

What is Centaurium (Centaury)?

Centaurium umbellatum, used in our Centaurium tincture, is a small plant with purple flowers. It may be found in many parts of the world but especially in Middle Europe and Asia. The classification of the group of plants known as Centaurium is still in discussion and because of this, Centaurium umbellatum is sometimes also referred to as Centaurium erythrea.

It is said that the group of plants named Centaurium derived its name from the centaur Chiron, well known in Greek mythology for his skills as a herbalist.

“Not as good as it used to be, there was a time where I would have given it 6 stars, it was that good. I discovered this product 30+ years ago and have been using it ever since. I think, over the years, the formulation has been diluted as it can now be taken internally. I don't know what has changed but it is not as strong now as it used to be. There was a time when I would apply the product to my dermatitis and in two days it would all be cleared up with relief from symptoms occurring immediately. Not so the case now. I have to apply for a whole 7 days before my skin is cleared and no longer reduces symptoms quickly like itching and swelling. I will continue to use it as it is the most effective product I have ever used for topical dermatitis but am saddened that it is no longer the whiz bang product it used to be and requires more patience to see the results.”
