Fire Cider: A traditional folk remedy of anti-viral and anti-bacterial herbs infused in raw apple cider vinegar with the mother. Our cider contains hot peppers, onions, garlic, lemons, horseradish, ginger, turmeric, black pepper, rosemary, thyme, and oregano. Our family likes it in warm lemon water every morning through the winter, and it is also amazing on collard greens.
Elderberry Elixir: Made with elderberry tincture, an even more potent form of elderberry medicine. Studies have shown elderberries to have significant benefits against cold and influenza symptoms, but starting early after symptom onset is key so have this on hand! This extra powerful elixir also contains fresh pressed ginger juice. Ginger juice is another proven anti-viral and is also shown in some studies to reduce pain as well as NSAIDs. Usnea tincture has been shown in lab studies to kill gram-positive bacteria (think strep and staph) and has traditionally been used for respiratory conditions. It has been added to our formula as a way to prevent secondary infections. Pine needle decoction and local honey are the final two ingredients. Pine needle has a long traditional use for colds and flus, and local raw honey is known for its antimicrobial and cough soothing properties.
Bronchial Bitters: Our bronchial bitters contain violet to soothe irritated mucous membranes, elecampane to assist a cough in being more productive, and thyme and licorice root to alleviate the tickle in the chest associated with coughing.
Immuni-tea: A blend of elderberry, lemongrass, and ginger designed to support healthy immune function.
Virus Be Gone: Elderberry, Honeysuckle, and Astragalus extracted in spring water and vegetable glycerine (yummy!). One thing kids have no problem sharing is germs! This blend is a family favorite that can be taken daily to keep viruses at bay. The dosage may also be increased to more frequent smaller doses to combat an existing viral infection.
Sore throat spray: This is the perfect blend to numb and soothe a sore throat while fighting any underlying bacteria or viruses. Spilanthes is a key ingredient used not only to provide a numbing effect, but also acts as an oral anti-septic, immune enhancer, and lymphatic. Violet adds to the lymphatic action, while echinacea also provides immune enhancing qualities, and usnea and sage assist in fighting bacterial infection.
