Herbal Oxymels
Oxymels are made by infusing an herb such as tulsi, oregano, parsley or sage in vinegar and honey. If you use an organically grown herb, an organic apple cider vinegar and a locally sourced organic honey you will gain a preparation that makes a wonderful tonic. Your immune system can benefit. How is it used? You can take a dose of oxymel by the spoonful straight from the bottle or add a little to a cup of hot water. I love to add some to a cup of Triple Mint or Sunshine & Flowers in the afternoon. It’s excellent in a cup of sleep-friendly Teddy Bear Tea at bed-time. Oxymel can be used with a cup of green or black tea as a well.
A dose of oxymel in a cup of hot tea is soothing to your throat after you’ve been out for a walk in the cool morning air. It helps you wake up if you take it straight from the spoon first thing in the morning. Find your own best use!
