Oxymels, Tinctures, and Yogurt

Join Koren Finnestad of Drover’s Trail Natural Farm as she teaches us about the benefits of OXYMELS, TINCTURES, and YOGURT. This event is FREE.

OXYMELS

The ancient Greek word oxymeli translates to “acid and honey.” The simplest definition is an herbal extraction of vinegar and raw honey. Both apple cider vinegar and honey have been used for millennia to help boost the immune system, soothe dry throats, and temper digestive issues. So, these two ingredients alone are beneficial to the body, and when you add herbs, you have an incredibly effective method of getting extra herbal support as well.

TINCTURES

Tinctures are concentrated herbal extracts made by soaking the bark, berries, leaves (dried or fresh), or roots from one or more plants in vinegar. The vinegar pulls out the active ingredients in the plant parts, concentrating them as a liquid. Tinctures have been around for millennia and are a key component of traditional herbal medicine.

HOMEMADE YOGURT

Yogurt has long been celebrated for its myriad health benefits, from being an excellent source of calcium to serving as a probiotic powerhouse. When you make yogurt at home, you have complete control over the ingredients and gives you the ability to personalize your yogurt enhances its nutritional value, allowing you to incorporate ingredients that align with your dietary needs and preferences.
