L'Elixir du Suédois by Maria Treben: What is it?

The birth of Elixir du Suédois can be traced back to the ancient civilizations of Babylon and Egypt, where a mysterious elixir of long life was reserved for the kings and priests of the time.

It was in the 12th century, during the Crusades, that the recipe came to us and circulated under various names among herbalists, alchemists and researchers. The best-known of these were Paracelsus in the sixteenth century, followed by Doctor Samst in the eighteenth, a... Swedish doctor. Samst wrote the definitive composition of what would later be known as "The Swedish Elixir" or "The Swedish Elixir" Liqueur du Suédois " .

Unfortunately, by the end of the 19th century, modern chemistry and, in particular, medicines had supplanted the use of medicinal herbs for a time, and the elixir was forgotten.

In the 20th century, Maria Treben (the famous herbalist), rediscovered the recipe for this elixir and its digestive, tonic and depurative virtues.

The Swedish elixir has been enjoyed in this way for some twenty years.

Properties, benefits and virtues of Swedish elixir :
A natural product essentially composed of bitter plants and alcohol, Swedish elixir has the following properties:
- Detoxify and tone the body ( helps digestion after a rich meal).
- Depurative action: disinfects, detoxifies, stimulates circulation.
- Sovereign digestive action against flatulence, stomach heaviness, cramps, nausea, heartburn or constipation.
- Tonic action: the plant extracts contained in this preparation are reputed to combat and prevent general, intellectual and even sexual fatigue!
- Anti-inflammatory and antiseptic, it can also be used externally to relieve insect bites, irritations, minor inflammations, pimples or acne..

It is therefore a digestive, tonic and depurative, which means that it is the complete protocol of a naturopathic detoxification and regeneration cure.

- Either laxatives (aloe, senna, rhubarb and manna);
