Ayurvedic Heart Tonic

5 qts water
8 oz Hawthorn Berries
tbs or two of cinnamon
pinch of sassafrass*
dozen cardamom pods
approx 4 oz raw wild flower honey


Simmered all ingredients for 30 mins, let it cool in pot for one hour. When still warm, but not hot, add raw honey. Strain, refrigerate, enjoy a shot three times a day. Strengthens and calms heart muscle, centers heart chakra, promotes love.

*Sassafrass is an addition to the ayurvedic recipe. Adds complimentary flavor, and contains natural oil safrole, often mangled to synthesize X and Love.

This time used "Carrot honey" (honey cultivated amidst carrot farms) which significantly altered the color and flavor. Also tried a little bit of nutmeg, which is nice. Tastes very pleasant when cool.

Ingredients using same process described above:

5 qts water
8 oz Hawthorn Berries
tbs or two of cinnamon
1/4 tablespoon nutmeg powder
pinch of sassafrass
dozen cardamom pods
approx 4 oz raw carrot honey


Packs an extremely obvious healing punch when drinking a whole 8 oz glass.
