Gentiana lutea is a perennial herb that grows to 1-2 meters in height, with erect rhizomes. Its stems are thick and hollow, supporting large, opposite leaves with five to ten veins, as well as axillary cymes of orange-yellow flowers. The roots resemble beets, being thickened and branched. A gentian root is typically cylindrical, measuring 5-20 cm in length and 3-5 cm in diameter. The rhizome is short, featuring fine transverse wrinkles and sometimes bearing buds or leaf remnants at its upper edge. The root's surface is longitudinally wrinkled and twisted, with a fractured appearance that is yellow-brown and non-fibrous; the cambium layer and surrounding tissue are dark brown.

How to use:

Powdered Herb:

Powdered herbs can be used in a variety of ways.

You can add powdered herbs to various foods such as smoothies, sauces, spreads, and baked goods like cookies. For children, mix the powder with honey or glycerin to create a paste. The thicker the paste, the stronger its flavor will be. This method, known as "Electuaries", uses sweet ingredients like honey and glycerin to make the herbal taste more palatable.

Making your own herbal capsules at home ensures that each one contains only pure, unadulterated herb - nothing else. They can be easily dissolved in a liquid for consumption.

To make a poultice, mix an herbal powder with a liquid, such as water, to create a paste that can be applied directly to the skin, providing relief from various skin issues.

Mix powdered herbs with water, fruit juice, or another liquid to create a concentrated herbal drink.
