Homemade Fire Cider Cold & Flu Remedy

Fire Cider is a traditional folk remedy that many people use to help prevent colds and the flu. It’s also used to shorten the duration of an illness if  you do get sick. Fire Cider is a potent drink made with ingredients that boost the immune system and have antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and decongestant properties.
One thing that I really like about this article is that Heather suggests different ways to use Fire Cider.

Here are just 2 options:

• Wellness shots
• Tea

Fire Cider recipes can vary depending on the creativity of the person making the remedy. Some ingredients like garlic, onions, and horseradish root are almost always included. Other ingredients like lemons and herbs may be included for increased health benefits. It often depends on what ingredients are available at the time.

This recipe is an adaptation of a recipe by Rosemary Gladstar and another recipe by Mountain Rose Herbs. The process is simple. Prepare the roots, herbs, and fruits and place them in a jar. Cover with organic apple cider vinegar. Store in a cool, dark place and shake daily. The apple cider vinegar becomes infused by all of the ingredients. Heather explains how long to infuse the vinegar and how to strain the cider and add the final, healthy ingredient.

As a bonus she includes:

• A variety of different herbs and spices you can add
• A video with Rosemary Gladstar making her own Fire Cider
