IRON TONIC

250ml | $35

A nourishing, mineral-rich tonic made with locally gathered oranges, yellow dock root, dandelion leaf and root, organic apple cider vinegar, blackstrap molasses and raw honey.

Yellow dock root has long been used as a blood-building tonic, traditionally supporting those with anaemia. Rich in iron and other minerals, its gentle bitter and laxative actions support liver function, stimulate bile flow and encourage healthy digestion and elimination. Its red-veined leaves have also long been associated with the blood through the ancient Doctrine of Signatures.

Dandelion leaf and root offer a rich source of minerals, including iron and potassium, while their bitter properties stimulate digestive secretions, support liver function and encourage healthy digestion and nutrient assimilation.

Locally gathered oranges bring vitamin C, known to greatly enhance the body's absorption of plant-based iron. Blackstrap molasses provides an additional source of iron and minerals, while apple cider vinegar traditionally supports digestion and raw honey brings a little sweetness to balance the earthy, bitter flavours.

Together, these ingredients create a traditional nourishing tonic, bringing together iron-rich wholefoods, vitamin C and digestive herbs to support the body's natural processes of nourishment and absorption.

** for those who can't have this blend due to intolerance to other ingredients- i've just strained a yellow dock root tincture which is now available for purchase individually: https://www.heartessenceherbals.com/products/yellowdock-tincture
