Spider Cider Wellness Tonic


I've been curating this recipe for years now. It's actually a really old remedy that has gone through years of changes, names and ingredients. I love how passionate people are about their herbal remedies. When you make a recipe your own, you mark it with your imprint. It becomes part of your tool box. I've been practicing herbal alchemy for nearly 15 years, studying the properties and propagation of medicinal plants. This is the under current of my work. If I was born to do anything, it's the integration of horticulture and medicine.

Though my second language is Astrology, I have found many ways that these two subjects are constantly cross-referencing one another. Each sign of the zodiac rules a plant, a tree, an herb, a metal, an element, a cell salt, a color, a number and a part of the body. Using this table, I have been able to tailor remedies that are aligned with these hot spots, utilizing both Astrology and Horticulture. The relationship between humans, plants and the atmosphere goes deep. It sounds complicated but it's pretty simple, actually. Something not achievable through modern medicine and mainstream religion exclusively, it remains unacknowledged by most institutions like a theory upheld by outdated findings, when in fact, this information pre-dates modern medicine by centuries. 

The plants and minerals and compounds found naturally occurring in the earth are our best kept secrets. They have laid the framework for which the current understanding of "cure" now lies. Pharmaceutical medications are great at destroying things on a cellular level, meaning everything all at once. They fumigate the body with a chemical ether that confuses the instinct to heal and repair with it's own responses. It leaves a kind of ignorance in it's wake and the body now has to work twice as hard to restore normal function and start again. It erases critical cell memory. The integrity of the internal landscape is compromised. Conversely, herbs and minerals and plants work WITH the body as a remedy, not a fix. The language between the two is a dance. It stimulates immune response that does not disturb the beneficial bacteria. Our bodies are learning to be stimulated to heal instead of being told what to do. Immune response is turned on like a light and the road to recovery begins.






The compounds in this recipe are incredibly powerful and should be approached with respect. It addresses many complaints and discomforts. It is tailored for daily use and I encourage that so that the immune system remains in a responsive state so that it can react effectively to anything that is introduced. I am happy to share this with you, as it is a part of my daily ritual and perhaps it should be a part of yours!
