There’s an oxymel for all that ails you, and we’ve got the cure.


Translated from the Greek oxymeli (“acid” and “honey”), oxymel is an herbal elixir with references that date back as far as Hippocrates in 400 BCE. Made with a base of vinegar and honey, oxymel already has the foundation to boost the immune system, soothe a sore throat, and alleviate digestive issues. Couple that with selective herbal infusions and you’ve got yourself a one-way ticket to healthytown! Just place a full dropper under the tongue and hold for 10-15 seconds before swallowing, and re-dose every 3-4 hours while symptoms remain. Different herbs have different benefits, of course, so here are a few options in store from our friends at Drover’s Trail…
