Necessary ingredients:

- 100 g sea buckthorn paste (a superfood full of vitamins and antioxidants)
- 1 small bottle of propolis tincture (a true natural antibiotic, known for its antimicrobial properties)
- Echinacea tincture (a reliable aid in supporting the immune system)
- 100 g pollen (a rich source of proteins, vitamins, and minerals)

The story behind the recipe

The use of medicinal plants, propolis, and honey for health support dates back to ancient times. These ingredients have not only been used to treat various ailments but also to strengthen the body and prevent diseases. Sea buckthorn, sometimes called "Romanian ginseng," is recognized for its impressive vitamin C and antioxidant content, while pollen is considered a superfood due to its rich nutritional profile.

Preparation method:

1. Preparing the bottle: Start by sterilizing an 800 ml bottle. You can do this by boiling it or washing it with hot water and soap, followed by rinsing with hot water.

2. Adding the ingredients: In the clean and sterilized bottle, add the sea buckthorn paste. Make sure it is fresh and of high quality for the best results.

3. The tinctures and pollen: Add the propolis tincture and echinacea tincture. Then, add the pollen. These ingredients combine perfectly to create a synergistic mix that will strengthen immunity.

4. Mixing: Shake the bottle vigorously to ensure all ingredients mix well. It is important that the tinctures and pollen distribute evenly in the mixture.

5. Filling with honey: Now, fill the bottle with acacia honey, leaving a little space at the neck of the bottle to shake the mixture. Honey not only sweetens the preparation but also brings antibacterial properties.

6. Maceration: After filling the bottle, shake the mixture again well. Place the bottle in the refrigerator to macerate for 4-7 days. During this period, it is recommended to shake it twice a day to ensure even infusion.

7. Consumption: After the maceration period, your elixir is ready! Consume one teaspoon each morning on an empty stomach. It is an excellent way to start your day, giving you a boost of energy and nutrients.

Tips and tricks for a perfect result:

- Check the ingredients: Make sure all ingredients are of high quality. The propolis and tinctures should be pure, without additives or preservatives.
- Adaptability: If you do not have access to all the ingredients, you can try using other plant tinctures that have similar properties, such as astragalus or rosehip tincture.
- Storage: The elixir is kept in the refrigerator and can be consumed for a few weeks. When the bottle is running low, you can repeat the preparation process.

Nutritional benefits:

- Sea buckthorn is extremely rich in vitamin C, which helps strengthen the immune system.
