Recipe: Hawthorn and Tulsi Gut and Nervous System Healing Oxymel

This delicious, Gut and Nervous System Oxymel is so supportive to ongoing gut healing and for acute digestive distress.  This is a wonderful staple in the home medicine cabinet! I also recommend this as an alternative to fire cider for those with very sensitive guts that cannot tolerate the spice in fire cider. This remedy can also support and soothe grief and a broken heart.
