Oxymel is a herbal preparation that, depending on the medicinal plants chosen, can be used to treat respiratory ailments. Composed of honey, apple cider vinegar, and aromatic plants rich in benefits, it can help strengthen the respiratory system during winter and greatly reduce the symptoms of colds and flu.
Composition of oxymel
- Apple cider vinegar has antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. In infusion, it is also a good solvent for extracting the medicinal properties of aromatic and medicinal plants. Moreover, it can be stored for months without any problem.
- Honey is antibacterial and soothing, which is beneficial for colds and all sore throats. Additionally, its sweet taste somewhat masks the bitterness of the vinegar.
- Thyme (Thymus vulgaris), dried flowering tops – its specialty: inflammation of the upper respiratory tract and bronchial protection.
It cannot be said that consuming oxymel will cure you of the flu; however, in cases of a cold or sore throat, it will help the body recover faster and detoxify.
Dosage
To be consumed hot or cold in fruit juices or hot water, take a tablespoon if you have flu-like symptoms, in case of cough, cold, digestive issues, or nervousness, take 1 teaspoon of pure oxymel or diluted in a little water, 1 to 4 times a day, as needed.
For prevention, 1 or 2 teaspoons in a little hot water, before one of the main meals.
