What is Gentian Root Extract?
Gentian Root Extract is a natural botanical ingredient derived from the roots of Gentiana lutea. Native to the alpine regions of central and southern Europe, this perennial plant features bright yellow flowers, but its medicinal and commercial value lies entirely underground.
Gentian root extract is used in combination with European elderflower, verbena, cowslip flower, and sorrel for treating symptoms of sinus infections (sinusitis). In foods and beverages, gentian is used as an ingredient. Gentian root and other highly bitter plants have been used for centuries by herbalists in Europe as digestive aids, and it was still used to treat poor appetite and indigestion. (Caution: Gentian should not be used by people suffering from excessive stomach acid, heartburn, peptic ulcer disease, or gastritis.)
In manufacturing, gentian is used in cosmetics. Gentian root is not related to the gentian violet dye (methylrosaniline chloride). If you plan to make your own gentian preparation, be sure you identify gentian correctly. The highly toxic white hellebore (Veratrum album) can be misidentified as gentian and has caused accidental poisoning when used in homemade preparations.
