FIRE CIDER by Andrew Skousen [Joel’s son]
Legend has it that during the black plague a group of grave robbers could steal from plague victims despite exposure to the disease thanks to a powerful combination of vinegar and herbs that protected them. Although the story is far from confirmed the historians who wrote the story also recorded the alleged recipe of what has become known as the “Vinegar of the Four Thieves.” Variations of the formula have been passed down through the ages and inspired herbalists to recreate the recipe, often with their own variations. Rosemary Gladstone, a famous herbalist, created a similar herb-infused vinegar for immunity and called it “Fire Cider” because of the spicy ingredients. It has become popular because of its usefulness both as an everyday tonic for overall well-being, and for its immune boosting effect during cold and flu season. As the coronavirus outbreak continues to grow and spread, it pays to find ways to strengthen your immune system. Try making this simple herbal preparation at home for your current health and learn how to protect yourself better when a viral outbreak occurs near you.
