The New Moon in Aries is the time to free your inner wild child. Let the wildfire take you and burn through your gates of self imposed limitation and enter into the fertile flames of boundless possibility. Let your will be your guiding light. Now is the time to let your solar plexus glow; it’s all about you!
Fire Cider
(Traditional Folk Medicine Recipe)
Ingredients:
1 cup peeled and diced horseradish
1 cup peeled and diced garlic
1 cup peeled and diced onion
1/2 cup peeled and diced ginger
1 diced jalapeño pepper
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
small pinch of cayenne pepper
1 bottle raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup raw honey, or more
Place all of the vegetables and herbs in a 1-quart ball jar. Fill the jar to the top with vinegar. Make sure to cover all the ingredients and get rid of the air bubbles by using a chop stick to poke the areas that might have air trapped underneath. Place a piece of parchment or wax paper between the jar and the lid to prevent corrosion from the vinegar when using a metal lid. Shake it up!
Let the jar sit for 4-6 weeks. However, I always start taking 1 ounce doses of the fire cider the next day and just top off the ball jar with some more fresh vinegar.
After 4-6 weeks, strain the vinegar into a ball jar and add raw honey to taste.
This blend gives the body the solar plexus activation that it has been looking for!

So I’m obviously new to the site. I figured out how to customize my blog page but now I need some help learning how to delete the posts that seem to automatically be there as examples and create my own..
Love the fire cider. Why peel the herbs, you lose so much nutrition.
