Boldo, cayenne, and apple cider vinegar give the tonic a second, distinctly bitter and stimulating side: boldo adds a clearly bitter, aromatic note to the formula, while cayenne provides intense warmth and pungency. Apple cider vinegar rounds out the blend with a sour note. The result is a deliberately intense tonic for times when robust, warming botanicals are called for.

The modern Herbal Apothecary Anima Mundi combines traditional plant knowledge from various cultures with concentrated plant extracts and carefully selected organic and wildcrafted botanicals.

The formulas are made in the USA at an FDA-registered and cGMP-certified facility, are free from fillers, binders, and flow agents, and are laboratory tested. Colds Cocktail exemplifies the brand's philosophy particularly well: an uncompromisingly intense blend of classic herbs, roots, spices, and bitter botanicals.

Plants & Botanicals

• Echinacea purpurea & Echinacea angustifolia
  Anima Mundi deliberately combines two echinacea species. Echinacea is one of the best-known plants in Western herbalism and has traditionally been used particularly during the cold season.
• Fresh ginger & garlic
  Both are processed fresh and give the formula much of its robust character. Freshly processed ginger brings pronounced warmth and pungency to the blend. Garlic has been used for centuries in traditional herbal and spice preparations.
• Turmeric
  Turmeric is deeply rooted in Ayurveda and in the herbal traditions of South and Southeast Asia. Its characteristic curcuminoids remain the focus of modern research to this day.
  
• Boldo
  The aromatic, bitter leaf comes from South America, where it has a long history of use in herbal traditions. Its pronounced bitterness complements the pungent, warming components of the blend.
  
• Cayenne & apple cider vinegar
  Cayenne brings intense warmth and pungency and has a long tradition in spicy herbal preparations. Apple cider vinegar complements the formula with its characteristic acidity, making Colds Cocktail an exceptionally robust, almost culinary herbal extract.

There is an extensive body of traditional knowledge and modern research on echinacea, ginger, garlic, turmeric, boldo, cayenne & co. Here, we limit ourselves to a concise overview. Those who wish to learn more will find plenty of additional information online.
