Oxymel - an ancient recipe

Traditions about oxymel and its use can be found in ancient medical and healing texts, such as those of Galen of Pergamon (129-199) or in the Middle Ages by Hildegard of Bingen.

Honey and vinegar - each a powerful home remedy with countless beneficial properties - are mixed together, and as a bonus, you can also add (medicinal) herbs to this potent mixture.

For a long, long time, so-called sour honey had a firm place as a medicinal form among healers and doctors.

In fact, the trunk can be used in many ways:
Take 1-2 tablespoons neat half an hour before your first meal, diluted 1:10 with warm or cold water, or—for even more refreshment—with cold mineral water. Its use in the kitchen also invites creative experimentation.

Honey contains over 180 different components. In addition to various types of sugar, it contains vitamins, minerals, flavonoids, and polyphenols (which act as antioxidants), as well as bee enzymes. The latter are responsible, among other things, for honey's anti-inflammatory effects.

The power of bees, microorganisms and plants

Vinegar is a fermentation product in which the alcohol in a fruit wine is converted into acid with the help of microorganisms. For its dietary benefits, vinegar was already highly praised by Hippocrates (the founder of modern medicine).

Both vinegar and honey have strong extraction power. When herbs or spices are added, the valuable essential oils and secondary plant compounds are gently dissolved and perfectly preserved in the honey-vinegar mixture.

For our oxymels, in addition to our organic honey, we only use products of controlled organic quality from Austrian manufacturers, such as Sonnentor and Gölles , for the other ingredients.
