We love incorporating Fire Cider into our daily rhythms - it's a fun and flavorful way to ensure your immune system gets a boost throughout the year! We thought we'd share just some of the reasons why Fire Cider is a staple in our home apothecary and why it should be in yours, too!
A Brief History
Fire cider has roots in traditional herbal medicine, where it was used to ward off colds and boost vitality. Its popularity surged in the 1970s, thanks to herbalist Rosemary Gladstar, who introduced it as a natural wellness remedy during a modern renaissance of interest in herbal medicine. More recently, Rosemary, along with two other talented herbalists, brought more attention to Fire Cider as they sued a for-profit company that attempted to trademark the name “Fire Cider." In a case now referred to as “Tradition Not Trademark”, the Fire Cider Three successfully testified in court to reclaim the name “Fire Cider” as one that can't be trademarked, thus liberating it for continued use amongst herbalists and makers. We are deeply indebted to these brave herbalists for protecting tradition and the lineage of herbalists over the generations.
