Baldwins Swedish Bitters

Swedish Bitters

After many years of selling Swedish Bitters produced by other suppliers, we decided to introduce our own version. This decision was prompted by our current supplier changing the formula when they removed the Aloe without substituting anything for it, resulting in a less bitter product than before.

The Baldwin’s Swedish Bitters uses the original formula laid out in the Maria Trebens book Health Through Gods Pharmacy but with the Aloe, which because of Brexit is now impossible to obtain, replaced by Wormwood.

Swedish Bitters got its name from the well-known 18th century Swedish Physician and Rector of Medicine, Dr. Claus Samst. The actual creation of the formula is credited to Dr Phillipus Paracelsus, a Swiss Physician who lived around 1541 but the formula recorded by Dr Samst, who lived to be 104 and finally succumbed, not to the ravages of old age, but as a result of a fall while out riding, is the Swedish Bitters that we know today. It was Maria Treben, the distinguished Austrian herbalist, who brought Swedish Bitters to the worlds' attention in her book "Health Through Gods Pharmacy" where she writes of the various benefits of Swedish Bitters.
