Tools for Natural Living

An elixir is a tonic prepared as a tincture. Because it is typically brandy-based and sweetened with honey and/or herbal syrup, it is slowly sipped in small amounts and enjoyed as an aperitif. This formula features potent adaptogenic herbs to help support adrenal function, boost immunity and increase energy.
