I like to refer to our Oxymel products as small batch wellness tonics, the power of garlic, onion are said to have an effect similar to modern day antibiotics. Our grammas knew this and so did our grammas gramma! If it was good enough for them then it is good enough for us.

There are studies that show certain ingredients (listed below at the bottom of this post) will help strep infection, and even pneumonia but always be sure to see your healthcare provider first.

That being said, don’t  let mucous bring you down – let our Garlic + Onion Oxymel help expel it for you! It’s a handy tool that you can make yourself in your own kitchen, buy ours or ask us for the recipe! We like to boost ours just a little bit with plant terpenes (it’s why they are a bit more expensive). The power of plant based terpenes adds immune boosting, antibacterial, antiviral, virucidal properties, and of course overall wellness support.

Our Oxymels are carefully handcrafted in small batches for superior quality and freshness. Our Apple Cider Vinegar Syrup and our raw honey (both the wild and the buckwheat) are locally and responsibly sourced within Ontario. This grants us the ONTARIO made stamp of approval!  Our wellness tonics are bottled in-house to ensure the highest standards of purity and care. The ingredients of pure apple cider improve digestion and overall vitality. Free from cane sugar, additives, alcohol, and artificial ingredients for a clean, nourishing experience.

Why Buckwheat honey? Because it is high in polyphenols, has antibacterial effects and can help fight antibiotic -resistant infections (specifically potent against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudodomonas aeruginosa), it’s known to speed up healing as well.

Bonus points: It’s not as sweet as traditional honey, better for those watching blood sugar levels. It’s also great for the gut – it seems to support growth of Bifidobacteria while suppressing pathogenic bacteria in our gut.

Non-GMO & Gluten-Free. Kid safe (contains honey so avoid till over the age of 1 please).

Feel better fast with an old-school “Folklore” approach – that works!

How to use this yumminess:

• Versatile Daily Use: Whether taken straight by the spoonful, mixed into a warm tea, or added to salad dressings, it’s a nice addition to your wellness routine. Great to promote overall wellness.
• Only As Needed: Feel something coming on? A member of your household is sick or someone at the office? Grab a spoonful of this. If you really want a powerful punch try paring it with our Fire Cider (Hawt Commodity)

According to the folklore: 10 ml 2-3 times daily at the onset of symptoms.

Ingredients: Red/Yellow Onion, Garlic, Raw Buckwheat & Wild Honey, ACV

An Oxymel should last 1-2 years in the fridge, although I always keep mine in a dark cool kitchen cupboard with no issues. Safe for those who are pregnant, nursing and children over the age of 12 months (due to honey content).

Why is it so expensive? Great question! we have infused this brew with local sourced honey, buckwheat (more expensive) and custom plant terpenes (which are quite costly). While Buckwheat honey is cheaper than Manuka honey (but contains the same mineral/nutrient content), it is much pricier than plain wild honey and we use quite a bit in our formulations. In fact it’s a 60/40 ratio of honey to ACV. We like it sweet! Other versions use 50/50 or less to be more cost effective, but we know the power of honey so we upped our ratios.

The powers that be want me to suggest seeing a medical professional, but this might help soothe until you can get there. Strep and other infections can be quite serious and require medical attention. Even if your symptoms seem to have disappeared it’s a good idea to get checked out.  Folklore has a place in the home but so does modern day medicine.

Pseudodomonas aeruginosa: can cause infections in the blood, lungs (pneumonia), or other parts of the body after surgery

Staphylococcus aureus: can cause serious infections such as bloodstream infections, pneumonia, or bone and joint infections.

Both onion and garlic have been shown to have potent antibiotic activity and can be used for the treatment and/or management of infectious disease. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29866009/

Did you know that garlic is considered anti-parasitic, antiviral, antibiotic (as mentioned above) and antihistaminic. It is also an expectorant that can also help lower blood pressure and aid in regulating blood sugar.
