Strong immune systems have always been important, but now more than ever. With all the toxins in the environment and the potential of getting sick, there’s a lot of ways to protect ourselves from unnecessary illness. This post features one great way to do this that’s also a lot of fun!
Have you heard of Fire Cider? It’s been a popular tonic for years and we have a variation of it to share with you. Our friends here at Heart Beet Herbal have a Peach Fire Cider recipe to share with you. But first, a little bit about what it is and why it’s so good.
Fire cider is a spicy tonic promoted to:
Support immune health
Prevent and treat cold symptoms
Improve many other health issues
We love it because:
It’s made from raw, organic real food.
Is preservative and chemical-free.
Is gluten-free.
Naturally contains probiotics.
Has a long shelf-life, due to the presence of probiotics.
Doesn’t have to be refrigerated.
Is easy to take.
Is versatile.
Actually tastes amazing!
So there’s a lot of information available online about what we believe is a super tonic. We’ve only linked to a couple of sources. But for now, here’s that recipe from Heart Beet Herbal for you to try.
