It’s impractical to make your best medicine, you’re most well-thought herbal blends when you’re sick, so create it when you are well.

Winter is right around the corner and respiratory illnesses, like common colds, influenzas, coughs, pneumonia, and bronchitis are more common during the colder months.

If you and those in your household typically fall ill during winter, then now is the time to think ahead, be proactive and make your winter medicine.

In this short video, we’re making fire cider, which is a vinegar extract (sweetened with honey after 6 weeks) made with herbs and spices that provide full body relief for respiratory complaints.

Start sanitizing your jars and get your grocery list ready! In under 30 minutes you can make enough medicine to last through the entire sniffle season.
