  • Infused Herbal Vinegars
    Herbal Vinegars What is Vinegar? Vinegar is a common derivative of apples or grapes. It is made using a two step fermentation process turning the liquid into alcohol, and then turning the alcohol into dilute acetic acid (4-6%). Pure, naturally fermented vinegar is non toxic, and tolerated by just about anyone. Vinegar has many health benefits: ● it contains starch, gum, and all of its starting materials’ inherent mineral salts. Vinegar made from apples is especially rich in potassium which plays a major role in human metabolism, respiration and blood conditioning, as well as nervous system vitalisation. ● It is a refrigerant, which diminishes thirst and promotes the flow of saliva ● It lowers blood glucose and so is useful for pre-diabetics ● Acetic acid improves uptake and absorption of minerals ● It is a good alternative for those who don’t take alcohol ● The ‘mother’ of the vinegar (the cloudy sediment you see at the bottom of the bottle of natural vinegars) is full of vitamins and probiotics which help regulate gut flora and promote healthy digestion ● Externally it is antiseptic and cleanses and tones the skin Naturally produced vinegars will often be sold with a label saying ‘containing “The Mother” and will have an amorphous mass floating at the bottom of the bottle. The Mother is a cloudy sediment of strand-like chains of connected protein molecules that congeal at the bottom of the bottle, which can be passed on from batch to batch as an inoculant that allows continued high quality vinegar making. Why Make A Herbal Infused Vinegar? Vinegar has a long history of use as a preservative and solvent for making herbal extracts since the day of Hippocrates.

  • Four Thieves Vinegar by Carol J
    How To Make Four Thieves Vinegar by Carol J. Alexander | Monday, August 12th, 2019 | Posted In: Healthy Living As legends go, during the 18th-century plague epidemic in Europe, a band of thieves robbed the homes and graves of those who were sick and dying of the disease but never fell ill themselves. Their secret? An herbal tonic known as Four Thieves Vinegar. When the authorities finally apprehended the individuals, they agreed to grant them their freedom in exchange for the recipe. They wrote it up and posted it on the walls of the city so every man could make it for himself. After hundreds of years, many versions of this story exist, as do variations of the recipe. The original included several herbs and roots steeped for days in white wine vinegar. Scientists believe the concoction worked against the plague because it repelled insects, including the fleas, which spread that disease. French chemist and scholar René-Maurice Gattefossé published the “original” recipe that hung in the museum of Old Marseille, France in his 1937 book, Gattefossé’s Aromatherapy: Take three pints of strong white wine vinegar, add a handful of each of wormwood, meadowsweet, wild marjoram and sage, fifty cloves, two ounces of campanula roots, two ounces of angelic, rosemary and horehound and three large measures of champhor. Place the mixture in a container for fifteen days, strain and express then bottle. Use by rubbing it on the hands, ears and temples from time to time when approaching a plague victim. Modern Recipes Modern versions of the recipe generally include four herbs—one for each thief— and garlic, a strong anti-viral and antibacterial itself, infused in apple cider vinegar.
