Winter Oxymel

Nature caught syrup! Oxymel is a traditional tonic made primarily from a mixture of honey ("meli") and vinegar ("oxy"), often infused with therapeutic herbs.  

The benefits are derived from the synergy of these ingredients:  

• Immune & Respiratory Support: It is widely used to soothe sore throats, calm coughs, and promote expectoration (clearing mucus) due to the demulcent properties of honey and the expectorant quality of vinegar.  

•  Antibacterial Properties: The combination of honey (which has antimicrobial and antioxidant properties) and vinegar (which contains acetic acid) has been shown in some studies to possess antibacterial and antibiofilm activity.  

•  Digestive Health: Vinegar is known to aid healthy digestion and may support the beneficial bacteria in the gut.  

•  Antioxidants: The raw ingredients, particularly the honey and any infused herbs, provide antioxidants that help protect against oxidative stress. \
