Gentian root benefits:

Even though gentian is used in many different ways in traditional medicine, there aren’t many scientific studies that back up its supposed benefits.

Iridoids, secoiridoids, xanthones, and flavonoids are the main compounds in gentian root that make it work. The amounts of these chemicals in the plant depend on the type of Gentiana plant, the time of year when it is picked, and how it is dried. So, not all ways of making gentian root may have the same health benefits.

◉ May help with arthritis.
◉ May aids Sinus infections.
◉ Helps to improve digestive, liver, and gallbladder function.
◉ Helps fight oxidative stress and chronic disease.

A gentian root history.

The genus Gentiana has more than 400 flowering plant species that grow in the highlands of parts of Europe, Asia, and the Americas. These plants get their gentian root from their flowers.

Gentiana has beautiful flowers in many colors, but only the root is used to make medicine. It is yellow-brown and can be dried and turned into pills, teas, tinctures, and extracts. People who use traditional medicine often mix it with water and put it on the skin or drink it.

People have used gentian root-infused water to treat liver, spleen, and stomach swelling. They have also used gentian root and vinegar to make plasters to treat skin inflammation, infected wounds, and poisonous animal bites.
