Winter is approaching and building our system is becoming a
priority. Because I strongly believe prevention – prevention through food,
natural supplements, and remedies. it's better to figure on fortifying our
natural defense mechanisms, rather than having to require countless
pharmaceuticals. Well, i'm not against traditional medicine (it is
indispensable), but if I could even lower my chances of getting a chilly or the
flu, i might totally be up for each home remedy available!
And here comes one among these wonderful apple cider home
remedies for the cold months ahead – the hearth cider, a.k.a. the Dragon cider
(well, because you'll be breathing fire)!
What is fire cider?
A fire cider may be a magnificent cider tonic immunity
booster made from natural apple vinegar and various potent herbs and veggies
with acute anti-vital, anti-fungal, and anti-septic properties, like garlic,
onions, horse radish, ginger, cinnamon, Cayenne pepper, etc.
The combination of those powerful ingredients may be a
concoction which can assist you build your innate immunity , detox, vitalize
your body, fight the flu and other viruses, bacteria, or fungi!
What is fire cider good for?
I will allow you to in on a touch secret – the hearth cider
benefits are numerous, but this is often not the sole thing you'll use it for!

Beside from the apparent immune-boosting and flu-fighting
abilities, you'll use this ACV infusion as a dressing or a condiment for any
traditional recipe which needs vinegar! Yes, all the ingredients during this
homemade remedy are completely edible and if you enjoy spicy food, this is
often just the thing you need!
The fire cider also can be used topically to treat various
skin ailments, but be extremely careful – pure ACV is extremely potent and it
could burn the skin if left for too long! it's best to dilute the infusion with
some pure water! i exploit charcoal filtered water to get rid of the limescale
or any possible contamination.
How to make fire cider (a.k.a. Dragon breath cider)?
The procedure to form this apple cider remedy for colds is
extremely easy and easy . the sole downside thereto is that it takes time to
organize all the veggies and to let the infusion sit for a few of weeks. So, if
you plan to start out prepping for winter, now's the simplest time to start out
making your fire cider!
Logically, you'll need pure top quality ACV, but note that
it doesn't need to be apple cider. In my case, I used aronia berry vinegar
which is additionally extremely potent and full of nutrients and health
benefits. Sadly, it's not that popular as compared to the great ol’ ACV.
You will also need top quality honey for its amazing
nutritional values and a few grated goldenseal . To be completely honest, here
in my country, goldenseal is nearly impossible to seek out , so I used powdered
turmeric instead. the opposite ingredients are pretty easy to seek out and that
i hope it shouldn't be a drag adding them. If by any chance you can't have
something at your disposal, no worries – just skip it – it'll still be your
very own fire cider!
Below you'll find the complete list of ingredients and
preparation directions! But before that, i might wish to answer some FAQ’s
about this apple cider home remedy!
How much fire cider should I drink?
“How much fire cider per day?” may be a common question
people ask and it's extremely important one!
This natural remedy is sort of potent and definitely not
suitable for everyone! The spicy ingredients and therefore the strong ACV are
often counter-indicated for people with various gastro-intestinal issues, like
gastritis, ulcers, IBS, hemorrhoids (people with hemorrhoids must avoid spicy
food!), etc. Always consult your doctor before adding new natural remedies or
supplements to your diet plan!
But for the common folks i might say between 1 tsp. and 1
tablespoon each day for prevention. Start small, asses your body’s reaction to
the remedy and adjust accordingly. If it feels too strong, you'll also dilute it
with some water or tea.
In case of a chilly , you'll triple the dosage after you
consult our doctor!
How long will fire cider keep?
Can fire cider go bad? i feel it can, but not very easily
if we store it properly. Pure apple vinegar has powerful conserving properties
since it's famous for its bacteria-fighting abilities! One fresh batch of
fireside cider should be good for a minimum of the entire winter. Next year,
just make another one. The fresher the cider – the more benefits it'll have.
Just remember to store it during a n air tight non-metal
container in a dark and funky place faraway from children (at the highest shelf
of the fridge is best)!
Take your health into your own hands and prepare this
magical natural potion!
