Food & the Immune System

by katheryn Langelier March 26, 2020

Food & the Immune System
Studies have shown that sugar can lower the strength of our Immune Systems by 50% for 5hrs after eating, and when your stuck at home with an ear to some pretty intense news it's really easy to get snack or treat cravings and sugar just tastes so good! When I'm getting some of those cravings I turn to my bitter herbs. Dandelion, Burdock, Yellow Dock and Chamomile are some of my favorites and can really take the edge off of a craving. But bitters do so much more, the moment you taste a bitter flavor on your tongue, the whole digestive tract is stimulated to start releasing digestive juices priming you to get everything you need out of your food. They are also wonderfully grounding helping you shift out of your mind, into your body and into the present moment. Fear and isolation are a perfect combo to shoot you right out of your body and into your head, and when we're in our bodies it's a lot easier to remember that we are always connected to each other even if we are isolated in our separate homes. Bitter herbs also support healthy function of the liver and can help to move anger or resentment out of the body.

Fire Cider: A Folk Remedy, a Legal Battle, and a Story of Resilience from the founder of Herbal Revolution

by Katheryn Langelier October 29, 2025

The Story of Fire Cider: From Farm Apprentice to Founder of Herbal Revolution. When people ask me about Fire Cider, my answer can go in a few directions, it can be layered and complex like an herbal formula, or it can be straightforward as a single plant tincture. Both have their place and their depth. Most of the time, though, I find myself landing somewhere in the middle, and that’s exactly where I’ve landed today.
