Nutritive tonics hold a unique place in herbal therapeutics, situated at the intersection of food and medicine. They’re not meant for acute conditions so much as for the long game: daily nourishment that prevents many issues and helps you maintain vitality and resilience over time.
In our modern world, where soil depletion and industrial farming practices have left even the best diets lacking essential nutrients, these herbs can fill the gaps, supplying trace minerals and micronutrients that are crucial for healthy physiology.
In this episode, we’ll look at why nutritive tonics are so relevant today and walk through a formula that you can use for yourself and your clients.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
-
Why nutritive tonics are essential in the context of modern nutrition
-
Why trace minerals and micronutrients are foundational to health
-
