Modern uses:Herbalists prefer to use the Yellow Gentian (Gentiana lutea), which they regard as one of the finest ofall tonic medicines. It has a very bitter taste even when greatly diluted.

It is used for all cases of general debility, anorexia, dyspepsia and jaundice. There are several official preparations listed in the British Pharmacopoeia; but as the root yields all of its medicinal properties in water, it can be used domestically in the form of an infusion. It is better to combine the powdered root with an aromatic herb, like Cardamoms, to reduce the bitterness. One-fifth to one-half a teaspoonful of the powder is infused in a cupful of boiling water, and sweetened with honey.
