A tangy, traditional preparation to activate immune response, this tincture acts as both an immune-boosting preventative as well as a way to ease the duration of a cold. Fire cider loaded with spicy and aromatic plants infused into the health-giving properties of living apple cider is a staple of the winter folk medicine chest. Garlic and onions offer up their anti-fungal and anti-viral properties, detoxify the body and clean the blood, and help to slow or stop the spread of pathogens. Ginger root and horseradish are warming, spicy root medicines that increase circulation and are anti-inflammatory. Cayenne peppers stimulate circulation - warming our bodies and increasing blood flow and purification to support organ health. Thyme - an aromatic culinary herb - is rich in essential oils that are antibacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral. Spilanthes and echinacea stimulate the immune system and white blood cell production. Welcome in the warmth of immune-supportive plants and feel the resilience in every drop.
1fl oz
Ginger, onion, garlic, cayenne, spilanthes, horseradish, echinacea root, leaf + flower + thyme infused into raw apple cider vinegar with a touch of honey
*All plants grown with love and organic practices in Night Heron Farm’s mountainside California garden.
Enjoy heaping dropperfuls of this fire cider straight or in a glass of hot tea or water. It’s always a good idea to pause after taking a tincture, since you can often feel your body changing right away. Fire cider is especially fun, since you feel spicy tingles all the way to your fingertips + toes.
Night Heron Farm founders Alena and Danny lovingly tend to, nurture, and grow every medicinal herb in their blends on their beyond-organic land set atop the slopes of a gentle mountain two miles inland from the southern California coast. Their garden is nourished by the coastal fog that rolls in and out of the canyon, surrounded by high and dry ridgelines, but held in the dense embrace of a healthy oak woodland.
They utilize more-than-organic practices, honoring the biodiversity of the forest they call home: working to build their soil with rich compost, minimal tilling, and cover crops to reduce their water needs and honor the reality of drought in southern California.
Danny (who draws all the tiny paintings on the tincture labels) grew up in the mountains nearby and spent many years as a working artist before becoming interested in growing medicinal plants. Alena grew up in the deciduous jungles of the Southeast and has spent the last decade as an organic farmer and native plant gardener. They met during an apprenticeship at a medicinal herb farm and have been growing and making medicine together ever since.
