DIY Herbal Remedies

It is my belief that knowledge of herbal medicine is a birthright.  Part of my mission with Reclaiming Your Roots is to help others reclaim this knowledge and learn how to take care of their own bodies, their families, and their communities.  In line with this mission, you can find a variety of recipes on this page for making your own herbal home remedies for cold/flu, allergies, wound care, digestive health, and more.  Happy medicine making!

Elderberry syrup is a wonderful cold/flu remedy and a flu preventative.  It also grows really well in East TN!

Fire Cider is a tasty and potent infused vinegar.  Its antimicrobial, immune boosting, and decongesting properties make it a must-have for cold/flu season.
