Homemade Healing Drinks & Teas

Concord Grape Juice

Concord grape juice tops all other popular juices when it comes
to antioxidants and anti-aging compounds. 

Grapes are natural expectorants and can provide relief for coughs
and other annoying lung conditions.  Many people have reported
that making the switch from drinking orange juice to grape juice
kept them healthier in winter months. 

Why not make the swap!?

Apple Juice, Orange Juice, On Guard ~ Oh My!

For this Flavorful health tonic, warm two to three cups cloudy, organic apple juice on the stove top with the juice of one fresh-squeezed orange.  Add a few drops of On-Guard essential oil to support healthy immune function.  (OnGuard is a blend of Wild Orange, Clove, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus, and Rosemary).

Don't heat the concoction too much or you'll kill the effectiveness of the oils. 

Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon and serve!




Mulled Cranberry Cider - aka Hot "Totty"

A soothing warm winter drink that not only takes off
winter’s chill, but has medicinal qualities to help soothe
