This session is a deep dive into the wisdom of bitters — a class of herbs that have long supported not just digestion, but the processing of life itself. In a world where we’re constantly overwhelmed by stimulation, speed, and stress, the bitter taste has all but vanished from modern diets — and with it, some of our body’s natural capacity to regulate, release, and restore.
You’ll be invited to consider the link between trauma as “the undigested life” and the physical act of digestion, exploring how bitter herbs can support both. We’ll look at how bitters stimulate digestive secretions, calm the nervous system, and bring us back into relationship with the often-ignored flavour that can be so healing. If you’ve ever shied away from the strong taste of bitters, this session will offer gentle, approachable ways to welcome them back — including tonics and tinctures that can ease the process.
We’ll also touch on emerging conversations about the role of bitters in supporting metabolism and appetite regulation — offering a plant-based, holistic alternative to pharmaceutical trends like Ozempic. Come curious, and leave with practical herbal allies for truly digesting your life.
