Crow Spice Cider is an antiviral, antibacterial and anti-fungal and a great decongestant. Supports digestion and is an anti-inflammatory.
History of the Tonic
Rosemary Gladstar popularized the modern day in Fire Cider in 1981. Fire cider is a tincture or tonic, traditionally prepared by mixing ingredients and allowing it to “cure” for 4-6 weeks. Fire Cider is typically known as a folk remedy for boosting immunity. Fire cider base ingredients are typically found in any kitchen and are apple cider vinegar, onion, cayenne, garlic and horseradish. Then each herbalist will combine different ingredients for taste. I have named my Fire Cider, “Crow Spice Cider”.
“Garlic – An immune system stimulant, diaphoretic, expectorant, and antimicrobial, the raw cloves of garlic are used to support the body’s response to respiratory conditions in the winter months. Garlic can ease some of the discomforts of a cold through its anti-inflammatory action, as well as shorten its duration by stimulating the immune system, thinning mucus, and breaking a fever.” The Herbal Academy

Directions: You can take 1-3 droppers full per day as a preventative and add up to 1 oz per day if you feel a cold or flu coming on or fully kicked in. Dosage is a personal experience, however don’t take more than 1 oz per day. You can take in the mouth, in a tea or on top of a salad or in a soup.It’s your preference. You can take it straight as a shot, in a cup of tea, on food (like salad dressing).
*I don’t make the blends with any sweetener. You may add honey or maple syrup to a cup of hot water if desired.
**Some people may find that the blend aggravates rather than improves heartburn or indigestion. Honey or maple syrup may help but if not, discontinue use. NOT recommended for people with stomach ulcers.
