Intention: Cold Season Elixir is a blend of alterative and adaptogenic herbs preserved in bourbon whiskey and honey. You can take by dropper-full to mouth, or add drops to tea or water.

Alteratives are herbs that address imbalances; opening up channels of elimination, optimizing nutrition, and thus strengthening your body. Adaptogens are herbs that help your body deal with stress, which would allow your immune system to focus on defending against germs. Alteratives and adaptogens must be taken regularly to be effective, but fortunately they can be obtained through multiple sources, including a healthy and hydrated diet. *
