What Is Fire Cider?
Why Fire Cider Is So Special
I like to think of Fire Cider as “Liquid Fire Healing Miracle Juice.” It's packed with potent, natural ingredients that have been used for centuries for their medicinal properties. This sweet and spicy herbal tonic is made from raw, organic ingredients that work together to support your health in a number of ways.
Some of the key ingredients include:
Oranges
Lemons
Ginger
Garlic
Turmeric
Red Peppers
Onions
And more...
These simple ingredients come together to create a powerhouse tonic that rests in Apple Cider Vinegar, known for its ability to boost immunity, support respiratory health, and promote a healthy gut. It’s also a natural antibacterial and antiviral that helps your body return to a more alkaline state, allowing for optimal health and healing.
The Roots of Fire Cider
I first discovered Fire Cider through the work of herbalist Rosemary Gladstar. But as I dug deeper, I realized this incredible remedy is a recipe found in many regions around the world. Each culture puts its own twist on it, using locally available ingredients that reflect the region’s healing traditions.
The fun part about Fire Cider is that you can get creative with it! The recipe is flexible, allowing you to experiment with different herbs, spices, and plant medicines that resonate with you and your family. Fire Cider can be as personal as your wellness journey.
Fire Cider's Superpower Ingredients
What I love about Fire Cider is that many of its ingredients are practical, accessible, and often found in your kitchen or local supermarket. These ingredients have stood the test of time, with centuries of use behind them—and their health benefits are just as powerful today. Here’s a closer look at some of the key ingredients:
Turmeric: A powerful anti-inflammatory that supports brain health and reduces inflammation.
Ginger: Known for its anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial properties. Ginger is especially helpful for digestion and reducing nausea.
Onions: Rich in antioxidants, onions help lower bad cholesterol, protect against heart disease, and reduce blood clot risks.
Garlic: Often hailed as the world’s healthiest food, garlic boosts the immune system and promotes healthy gut bacteria. It’s even known to improve athletic performance!
Red Peppers: These peppers deliver an impressive 200% of your daily vitamin C, making them a great immunity booster.
Hot Peppers: Natural pain relievers and immunity boosters, hot peppers help increase circulation and fight inflammation.
Horseradish Root: A respiratory powerhouse, horseradish helps clear sinuses and can alleviate symptoms of colds, flu, and other respiratory issues.
How to Take Fire Cider
Incorporating Fire Cider into your daily routine is simple and versatile. Here are a few ways to use it:
Preventative Shot: Take a shot (or one tablespoon) a day as a preventative measure to keep your immune system strong. It’s an easy way to start a transformative health ritual.
Sip and Chill: Drop a shot of Fire Cider into tea, lemonade, or water—hot or cold—for a tasty, nutrient-packed boost throughout your day.
Add to Food: Fire Cider is a great addition to salad dressings, salsas, soups, and more, bringing both flavor and health benefits to your meals.

The Power of Medicinal Mushrooms
Mushrooms have been used for centuries for their incredible health benefits, and now more than ever, they’re becoming a staple in holistic wellness routines. Two of the most powerful medicinal mushrooms—Lion’s Mane and Turkey Tail—offer unique benefits that can elevate your mind and body. I’m excited to introduce these mushrooms as tinctures in my wellness line, making it easier to incorporate them into your daily life.
A Personal Connection to Mushrooms
I’ve always been fascinated by the natural world, and mushrooms hold a special place in my heart. One of my favorite activities is foraging in the Bronx with my trusted friend, Journei from the Congo, who brings ancestral wisdom to our adventures. Together, we uncover all kinds of mushrooms right here in our community.
This connection to nature feels magical, like a thread linking us to our ancestors and their deep understanding of the earth's gifts. It’s a grounding and empowering experience, reminding me that wellness begins with what nature provides.
Lion’s Mane: The Brain Booster
If you’re looking to sharpen your mind and boost your focus, Lion’s Mane is your go-to. This powerful mushroom is renowned for its ability to support cognitive function, improve memory, and enhance mental clarity. It even promotes nerve health, making it a favorite for those looking to protect their brain as they age.
As a grants manager for my day job, I rely on Lion’s Mane to stay focused and energized while juggling multiple projects. Whether it’s crafting detailed proposals or analyzing data, this mushroom has been a game-changer for my productivity. Adding a few drops of Lion’s Mane tincture to your morning tea or smoothie can help you stay sharp throughout the day, too.
Benefits of Lion’s Mane:
Enhances memory and focus

Boosts cognitive function
Turkey Tail: Immune & Gut Health Hero
Turkey Tail is a true powerhouse when it comes to immune support. This mushroom is packed with antioxidants and prebiotics that help balance your gut, promoting a healthy microbiome while strengthening your immune system. Whether you’re feeling run down or simply want to boost your body’s natural defenses, a Turkey Tail tincture is a perfect daily addition.
I love incorporating Turkey Tail into my wellness routine, especially during busy seasons when my immune system needs extra support. Just a few drops go a long way in keeping me feeling balanced and strong.
Benefits of Turkey Tail:
Strengthens the immune system
