• Aloe (Aloe vera): Traditionally valued for its strong bitter principles, aloe has long been used in traditional herbal preparations to support natural elimination processes.

• Angelica (Angelica archangelica): Known for its aromatic properties and warming nature, angelica root has been included in traditional European tonics to balance herbal blends.

• Rhubarb (Rheum palmatum): This herbaceous root is recognized in herbal traditions for its strong bitter flavor and rich color, often included in purifying blends.

• Senna (Senna alexandrina): Senna leaves and pods have been widely used in classical herbal medicine for their distinct bitterness and traditional role in digestive tonics.

• Zedoary (Curcuma zedoaria): A member of the ginger family, zedoary root contributes an earthy, aromatic bitterness that has been used in traditional formulations across cultures.

• Carline Thistle (Carlina acaulis): A traditional European bitter herb, carline thistle root has a distinctive sharp aroma and was used to enhance the character of tonics.

• Myrrh (Commiphora myrrha): A resin known for its pungent and earthy fragrance, myrrh has been used in herbal and aromatic preparations since ancient times.

• Camphor (Cinnamomum camphora): With its penetrating scent and cooling nature, camphor adds a traditional aromatic touch to bitters formulas.
