    Taking down all the yummy medicinal HONEY I can get this Fall/Winter season! As the chill sets in, my favorite thing to do is sit by the fire with a warm medicinal elixir! One that will nourish my immune system, transforming and removing any stagnant bacteria, keeping my body strong & clean!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
