Speaker: John Slattery. Oxymels date back millennia and provide a method of preservation, a delivery system to the patient and the therapeutic effects of the ingredients used. Although remarked as being of benefit to the digestive and respiratory systems in Hippocratic writings, oxymels can be directed throughout the body via herbal formulation as an alternative to tinctures. In this class, we'll cover a variety of ways to make oxymels, some strategies for formulating oxymels for each body system, and taste them and observe their effects as we proceed through the body systems.
