The Ladies of The Underworld Oxymel is an embodying, heart nourishing medicine to remind us of our innate connection to other worlds, welcoming us comfortably into the sensual inward embrace that accompanies the transition into autumn.

Ingredients: infusion of hawthorn berries, damiana, rose hips, and ginger in coconut vinegar. raw, local honey. essences of hellebore and belladonna.

Traditionally, oxymels are herbal medicines infused in vinegar and honey. Most often, they are made with apple cider vinegar. For this recipe I decided to use coconut vinegar, which is high in probiotics and B-complex vitamins. This oxymel can be used: to support the digestive process after meals, as a mild aphrodisiac, as an aid to connect with otherworlds, and to help improve circulation. All perfect medicines for this time of year.

It can also be used in salad dressings and any other recipes that call for vinegar.
