Description: This is an erect biennial herb which reaches half a meter in height. It grows from a small basal rosette and bolts a leafy, erect stem which may branch. The triangular leaves are arranged oppositely on the stem and the erect inflorescences emerge from the stem and grow parallel to it, sometimes tangling with the foliage. Each inflorescence may contain many flowers. The petite flower is pinkish-lavender and about a centimeter across, flat-faced with yellow anthers. The fruit is a cylindrical capsule.

Cholagogue,  diaphoretic,  digestive,  emetic,  febrifuge,  stomachic, tonic, bitter; applied to wounds and sores. [CRC World Dictionary of Medicinal and Poisonous Plants]

In  dyspepsia.  Also  jaundice,  together  with  Bayberry  bark.  Three  or  four wineglass doses daily of the 1 ounce to 1 pint infusion. [Herbal Manual]

Centaury is reputed to act as a bitter, aromatic and stomachic. Traditionally, it has been used for anorexia and dyspepsia.[Herbal Medicines 3rd Ed.]

Centaury is used for disorders of the upper digestive tract, mainly dyspepsia. It is also used in anorexia and has reported anti-inflammatory activity. It should not be taken by patients with peptic ulceration. [Stockley's Herbal Medicines Interactions]

Centaury may  be used whenever  a  digestive and  gastric  stimulant  is  needed.  It  is  indicated  primarily for appetite loss (anorexia) associated  with liver  weakness. Centaury is helpful in  dyspepsia  and  any  other  condition involving sluggish  digestion. [Medical Hrebalism - The Science and Practice of Herbal Medicine]
