The appetite can be a good indicator for the state of the digestive system. If there is for instance a gastric problem, the appetite will often diminish for a period of time. This way the stomach will have a better chance to recover, as it has to process less food. A similar pattern can evolve with liver problems when the liver is over-burdened.

If there is a loss of appetite in the recovery phase of an illness such as influenza, digestive stimulants like Gentian or Wormwood should be used to restore healthy function.
