We discussed Rosemary Gladstar and her recipe as well as how to take liberty with our own ingredients that support the same therapeutic benefits;\u00a0pairing\u00a0ancient traditions with modern knowledge guided by energetic intuition.<\/p>\n<p>My first batch of fire cider was made during the Winter of 2011. My wife and I went on our first trip to the Asian Marketplace at the Chinese Cultural Center on the East Side to gather some of the herbs. It was great to walk around and see the fresh chunks of roots piled up with the veggies and fruits, selecting garlic and chilies, smelling all the fresh produce mixed with smells of fresh seafood, it was sensory overload for sure! But, it was all part of my medicine making experience.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-49 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.theherbalista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/luisa_mytouch-180.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theherbalista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/luisa_mytouch-180-480x640.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theherbalista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/luisa_mytouch-180-480x640.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.theherbalista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/luisa_mytouch-180-595x793.jpg 595w, https:\/\/www.theherbalista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/luisa_mytouch-180-960x1280.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.theherbalista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/luisa_mytouch-180.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.theherbalista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/luisa_mytouch-182.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theherbalista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/luisa_mytouch-182-480x640.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theherbalista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/luisa_mytouch-182-480x640.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.theherbalista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/luisa_mytouch-182-595x793.jpg 595w, https:\/\/www.theherbalista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/luisa_mytouch-182-960x1280.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.theherbalista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/luisa_mytouch-182.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>It was helpful to have this on hand for head colds, low Pitta, digestive sluggishness, and general toning + detoxing of the body. I even shared some with my friend + fellow herbie~<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I share this story today because this incredibly powerful and precious medicine is being threatened by corporate greed. There is a company trying to stop people from making this medicine so that they may profit. This medicine has been around for generations and Rosemary Gladstar has been actively teaching about it for decades. Plant saving, tree-hugging, hippie woowoo as it sounds, this is serious business that directly attacks me as a professional and as an individual who benefits from fire cider as medicine.\u00a0Learn more about this threat and how you can help <a href=\"http:\/\/us3.campaign-archive2.com\/?u=5e6f0f5880c2669cc4e3a50fa&amp;id=f99ef177f9\" target=\"_blank\">HERE<\/a>\u00a0or by pasting this link in to your browser:\u00a0http:\/\/us3.campaign-archive2.com\/?u=5e6f0f5880c2669cc4e3a50fa&amp;id=f99ef177f9<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/freefirecider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/freefirecider_flyer3.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">FREE Fire Cider<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theherbalista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/2015-infinity-and-beyond-logo-sq-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"2015 infinity and beyond logo sq\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theherbalista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/2015-infinity-and-beyond-logo-sq-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.theherbalista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/2015-infinity-and-beyond-logo-sq-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.theherbalista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/2015-infinity-and-beyond-logo-sq-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.theherbalista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/2015-infinity-and-beyond-logo-sq.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I first learned of Fire Cider in 2010 during one of my Western Herbalism classes at SWIHA.
