Swedish Bitters were originally formulated by Paracelsus just prior to 1538 AD.
Paracelsus Elixir is his original complete formula. We do not know what
Paracelsus called this formula but, in homage to him we respectfully give
him
full credit for this marvelous and ingenious world renowned formulation and have called it
Paracelsus Elixir.
When you are buying Paracelsus Elixir you are
not buying what is commonly being sold as Swedish Bitters. Presently there
are two main formulas for Swedish Bitters, the short and the long formula. The
most commonly known Swedish Bitters formula on the market today is the well
known “Maria Treben formula.” This is the short formula and it was not
formulated by Maria Treben herself. It is a very abbreviated version of the
“long formula” which has many variations and which is not commonly sold
probably because of expense and the bother of marketing a new formula.
Our Paracelsus Elixir formula is the original
and therefore complete formula created by Paracelsus over 460 years ago. The
proportions of Paracelsus Elixir do not resemble any other formula that is
even similar. In Herbalism the proportions of herbs in any formula is very
important. None of our herbs are farmed – everything is hand picked in the
wild and some of our ingredients are quite expensive while our cost
ounce per ounce, capsule per capsule is the same or significantly less than
what is currently on the market. However, the effect of the complete
Paracelsus Elixir formula is "the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow." |

Paracelsus
Elixir is a classic “life elixir” (Elixir Vitae) out of the 16th century
that harmonizes all of the major internal organ functions benefiting the
whole body. Many versions of this formula have been shorted and frequently
called Swedish Bitters. However, Paracelsus only has one formula for this
"life Elixir" and in honor of Paracelsus we have called it Paracelsus
Elixir and many refer to it as an Elixir Ad Longam Vitam (Elixir for a
Long Life). Paracelsus Elixir
is about 460 years old and variations of it have been in continuous use
throughout the world ever since. |

Note: As the term Paracelsus Elixir is completely
unknown but is the complete formula for Swedish Bitters, we have used the
term Swedish Bitters beside the term Paracelsus Elixir in this article only
for the purpose of bringing this information to light and to utilize the internet search engines. |

The Paracelsus Elixir is currently not available in a prepared
liquid form. It must be
prepared in order to be useable as an elixir. Making the Paracelsus Elixir
is very simple as well as comparatively economical.

How to prepare Paracelsus Elixir
Ingredients:
100 Gr. Paracelsus Elixir powders
1.5 Liter Alcohol (40% per cent)
The best alcohol is alcohol derived from fruit
(fruit spirit) -
Cognac, Grappa. Fruit derived alcohols are best, grape derived alcohols are
preferable.
There are two popular methods to prepare Paracelsus Elixir -
Swedish Bitters; one
method is faster, the other slower. Both methods are good, but there is one
very important thing that cannot be overlooked and this is the final color
of the liquid. The finished Paracelsus Elixir – Swedish Bitter is dark brown
in color, like strong coffee, other wise it is not Paracelsus Elixir.
In general the directions call for the powders and
alcohol to sit for at least 21 – 28 days; this is just a guideline. In order
for the Paracelsus Elixir to be ready in that length of time, the conditions
have to be ideal, such as temperatures and sunshine, otherwise it may take
considerably longer, especially in the winter time, it can take up to two
months.
Important: Always remember that the color
of the Paracelsus Elixir has to be dark brown like strong coffee; otherwise
it is not ready for use.
Preparation Method No. 1
Take 100 grams of the Paracelsus Elixir powder and .75
liter (750 ml) alcohol. Mix the two ingredients in a large mouthed
resealable jar and shake it a few times every day, expose to daylight on a
window sill or sunshine at room temperature for 14 days. Or, until the color
is a dark-coffee-brown. Then filter it
through clean cloth and keep the now moist powders. Place this liquid in an
amber bottle sealed in a dark place. Then add the other .75 liter of alcohol
to the Paracelsus Elixir powders for and additional 4 to 7 days and expose
it to daylight or sunshine, shake it well every day. The second tincturing
may not be as dark as the first. Then filter this
mixture. Add this liquid to the first liquid. Now, you have your Paracelsus
Elixir – Swedish Bitters.
Preparation Method No. 2
Take 100 grams Paracelsus Elixir powders and 1.5 liter
alcohol. Mix it well and shake it every day, expose this mixture to daylight
on a window sill and or sunshine for 28 days (a Lunar month) should by then,
the color of the liquid not be as expected (dark brown) leave it, until it
has the right color. Then filter it well, if necessary, two or even three
times. Fill it up in amber bottles and store in a dark place.

The ingredients of this formula are as follows:
Licorice, Nutmeg, Aloe, Turkish Rhubarb, Calamus, Myrrh,
Theriac Venetian, Zedoary root, Dittany, Gentian, Angelica Root, Kaolin,
Carline thistle, Camphor, Tormentilla, Mace, Senna, Saffron - all in very
specific, calculated and non-uniform proportion.
These ingredients combine to produce the complete "Paracelsus
Elixir - Swedish
Bitters effect." A formula that does not contain these ingredients is not
the Paracelsus formula. Also, the full benefits of the Paracelsus Elixir
compared to the commonly known and available Swedish Bitters will produce a
significantly more noticeable and complete effect.
The Maria Treben Formula (the commonly known Sweden
bitters formula) is as follows: Aloe, Myrrh, Saffron, Senna, Camphor,
Rhubarb, Zedoary, Manna, Theriac Venetian, Carline Thistle, Angelica Root.
Although this is a great stomach bitter it is not the complete
Paracelsus formula.

The following information has been published in the best selling book: Health
Through God's Pharmacy by Maria Treben. It is interesting to note that
although this publication is a very valuable work much of it's contents are
translated out of a classic European herbal compendium known in Europe as
Tabernaemontanus of 1731. It's contents are excellent as well as
very useful. Further testimony to the very rich herbal
tradition of the Western world.

The Paracelsus Elixir
- Swedish Bitters can be taken internally and also applied externally.
Internally: Prophylactics are
taken according to the "Old Manuscript " in the morning and evening, 1
teaspoonful diluted with water. For indisposition of any kind, 3 tablespoons
diluted with water can be taken. For serious diseases, 2 to 3 tablespoons
are taken as follows: 1 tablespoon diluted with half a cup of a specific
herbal tea, half of it is sipped half an hour before and the other half an
hour after each meal. |
Compresses: According to area, a
piece of cotton wool or gauze is moistened with Swedish Bitters and applied
to the affected area which has been well covered with lard or Calendula
ointment. A slightly larger piece of plastic is put over it to prevent the
clothes from getting stained. Then a cloth is wound around or a bandage is
used.
The compress can be left on, depending on illness, for 2 to 4 hours. If
tolerated, the compress can stay on overnight. After removal the skin is
powdered. Should people with sensitive skin still develop a rash, the
compresses have to be used for a shorter period only or omitted for a time.
People who are allergic to plastic should leave it off. Never forget to
grease the skin beforehand. If an itching rash has already developed it can
be treated with Calendula ointment. |

information are the famous "46 points" out of the "Old
Manuscript" describing the uses of Paracelsus Elixir i.e. Swedish Bitters
