      St. Francis Sweet Annie Details

      Used in Herbal Medicine as a bitter tonic and to enhance digestion.

      Sweet Annie is Artemisia annua, and it has an unusual place in the history of medicine: it is the plant artemisinin was isolated from, a discovery that won the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. That has nothing to do with how the tincture is licensed here — this is a digestive bitter — but it tells you something about the plant.

      As a bitter it belongs to the same family as wormwood, and it carries that family's characteristic sharp bitterness. Bitter receptors trigger digestive secretions before food arrives, which is why bitters are taken ahead of a meal rather than after one.

      St. Francis makes theirs from certified organic and wildcrafted Sweet Annie tops at 1:3, QCE 333 mg per millilitre — a stronger extraction than most of their single-herb tinctures.

      St. Francis Herb Farm has been making herbal preparations in Ontario since 1988, using certified organic alcohol and distilled water, and stating extraction ratios so you know the strength of what you are taking.

      Who St. Francis Sweet Annie Is For

      This suits anyone using bitters for digestion who wants something beyond gentian, and people drawn to the Artemisia family specifically.

      **Do not use if pregnant.** Consult a practitioner before use if you are breastfeeding, and if symptoms worsen or persist. Artemisia species are generally contraindicated in pregnancy.
