When people first step into herbalism, they often feel overwhelmed. They think they need a cabinet full of tinctures, rare plants, expensive supplements, or complicated formulas. But the truth is herbalism is rooted in the kitchen. It’s rooted in everyday plants that you probably already know.
And Fire Cider is one of the most powerful ways to learn that.
This traditional remedy is made by simply chopping up herbs like garlic, ginger, onion, horseradish, and adding them to apple cider vinegar. That’s it !! no heat, no alcohol, no special equipment. Just food. Real food with real medicinal properties.
The vinegar extracts the antimicrobial compounds (like allicin from garlic and gingerols from ginger), while preserving the remedy for months. The herbs work synergistically to support circulation, immune function, lymph movement, and digestion especially during the colder months when we need that warmth the most.
One of my favorite things about Fire Cider is how accessible it is. You don’t need to memorize plant Latin names or become an herbalist overnight. You just chop. Fill the jar. Pour the vinegar. And wait.
This remedy teaches you:
🌿 that plants are powerful, even when they’re familiar
🌿 that medicine doesn’t have to be mysterious
🌿 that you can make your own herbal remedies at home
🌿 that learning herbalism can start with what’s already in your kitchen
And once you make it once? You’ll never stop experimenting. Citrus peels. Jalapeños. Rosemary. Turmeric. Elderberries. Raw honey. Each batch becomes a creative expression and a tool for wellness you can feel working in your body.
A spoonful a day. A splash in soup. A quick wellness shot.
