Bitters & the nervous system

We have bitter receptors far beyond the tongue, and they speak to the vagus nerve. Herbalists call this the bitter reflex, and have long used bitterness to bring the body out of fight or flight and back into rest and digest. Traditional herbal lore; Elixir is a drink, not a treatment.
