Apple cider vinegar offers anti-microbial and antioxidant effects, helping to bind toxins and removing from the body. In addition to increasing circulation and promoting liver detoxification. The potassium content helps to break up mucus and clear the lymph nodes. Additionally, can support over all digestion and balancing of blood sugars and cholesterol levels.
Oxymels are tonics traditionally made with apple cider vinegar and raw honey. The Healing Junkie oxymels are vegan-friendly, instead of using honey, we use Grade A, Dark and Robust maple syrup. Like honey, Grade A, Dark and Robust maple syrup (a less processed maple syrup, than lighter maple syrups) is rich in antioxidants, is an effective anti-bacterial and helps to soothe a sore throat.
Oxymels are a sweet and tangy liquid that can be used in a variety of ways to help maintain a healthy body. Oxymels are a great option for those that are alcohol-free but want nourishing herbal remedies not in tincture form.
Herbalist's Message
As with any natural or herbal product, the key is consistency and patience. People are used to quick fixes and that approach is just not the case when trying to make the changes necessary for a healthier lifestyle.
People who use herbs as symptom-relieving remedies will often be disappointed as most herbs don't target specific biochemical reactions to create rapid changes. Instead, herbs work with the body in extremely complex ways to bring about balance in the body.
It is important to note that herbs will not make up for lack of sleep, dehydration or a diet filled with processed and refined foods.
Disclaimer
Plants can be powerful allies, when used responsibly.
Although most herbal preparations are safe and effective, it is important to note that there may be potential side effects (allergies) and individual results may vary. Creating a relationship with their vital energy plays a large role in the symbiotic partnership toward healing and physical well-being.
There is no way to know any particular body will react to any substance. When you are taking herbs, you are your own primary care giver and you must be vigilant of your own health. Consult with an herbalist or primary care provider and do your research, so that you can become an knowledgable and compassionate caretake of your own body.
