Winter Tonic is Hot!
This product is all the rage at Bastyr this winter. Based in Organic Apple Cider Vinegar infused with garlic, beet, parsley, ginger and cayenne. The cayenne is heating and stimulates circulation along with the ginger which also works as an antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory. Please click on the Wise Woman Herbals website for more information :).
I received it as a taster for tabling on campus last week (I am very lucky to be the Bastyr Student Representative). It had me at the first drop on a misty, grey Seattle afternoon. Spicy and warming with an unmistakable kick. A few drops yesterday and I was ready to take on my 7 miler on a chilly Sunday afternoon (getting ready for Vancouver this spring). I was not the only one – several students placed orders for it too! Is one of these for you? I hope so!
Lots of student orders this week – enjoy everyone!! And please check out Wise Woman Herbals for more information and wonderful products.
I’ve also been busy making new arm-warmers (which also helped get me though my run yesterday 🙂 ).
I will be staying warm this winter with my organic and reclaimed creations!
Will you?!

What do you do to stay warm when the winter chill rolls in?
So many thoughts running through my head right now 🙂
1. I’m going to head over to the website to see what I can find for a recipe for this concoction that will keep me healthy this winter! I teach at a middle school in NH and anyone around kids know that they are little petrie dishes of germs (and I love those germ-y kids!!)
2. GOOD LUCK AT VANCOUVER!!
3. What I do to stay warm – I drink tea. My grandmother (parents were Scots and Irish) always said, “there is nothing so bad that a good cup of tea can’t fix”. So it keeps my insides warm. I also wear a “prayer shawl” that a former colleague made for me as a going away gift when I changed schools. It truly keeps the shoulders warm. Then if it’s REALLY bad, I’ll sit by the pellet stove 🙂
I love your blog!! So much good information! 🙂
Thanks for the shout out – The headband looks beautiful on you!
