About this plant
The aerial parts of Centaurium erythraea contain intensely bitter secoiridoid glycosides including swertiamarin and gentiopicroside, traditionally used for appetite loss and dyspepsia. Named for Chiron the Centaur, who healed an arrow wound with this plant. The German name Tausendgüldenkraut, meaning thousand gold coins herb, reflects the extraordinary value placed on this bitter healer.
