Oxymel’s are a very old fashioned
tonic that dates back from ancient times that have fallen out of fashion. It
remains a favorite herbal healers use and is made of two seemingly opposing
ingredients- honey and vinegar.
Herbs can be added to great effect and when you see honey menthol cough drops
on the pharmacy shelf, note that origin of over two thousand years ago. Oxymels
are supremely effective for
respiratory issues. The recipe is simplicity itself, equal parts honey and
vinegar poured over herbs in a canning jar. Store in a dark cupboard and give
the sealed jar a good shake every day. After two weeks, strain out the herbs
with cheesecloth and store in the fridge.
Recommended oxymel herbs: Oregano,
elder flower, sage, balm, mint, lemon peel, thyme, lavender, rose petals,
hyssop, fennel.
