From my friend Nadia’s blog,
This master tonic is easy to make, a little shot every day to support your health – made with wonderfully healing foods.
Take your health into your own hands. This Master Tonic is a rendition of a very old method of taking care of ourselves. As I make and use this I feel as if I am bringing age old wisdom into my home and into my life.

This is a great natural home remedy that is so great to have on hand. This health tonic is a remedy that is perfect to take every day for immune support and overall health support.
If you are sick with the cold or flu, allergies or congestion this Master Tonic can also be taken to help your body to heal faster.
As a preventative (for general health, immune system support and longevity) take a shot (1oz) every day. In our home this is something that we do every day throughout the winter months.
When sick, take a 1oz shot 2-3 times a day.
