Master Tonic

This video shows how easy it is to make a herbal master tonic from everyday ingredients. The master tonic is suggested for colds, flus, respiratory problems and as an immune booster.

It would certainly be a useful remedy for such ailments however what isn't mentioned is the overall heating nature of the formula. In some colds and flus where symptoms include sweatiness and signs of heat this formula may be ill advised.

This is a good example of energetics in herbal medicine (see earlier video on herbal energetics). Some colds and flus can include shivering and signs of cold for which this tonic would be otherwise excellent.

Caution should also be noted with this formula for autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus and fibromyalgia.

One might also be careful of anyone who claims to cure a disease or illness.
