Never get sick with this herbal tonic

What I love about this tonic is that is made of local herbs. I thank Mercedes Tellez for passing this recipe to me 15 years ago. Enjoy it, is also a lovely tea.
The kelp in this recipe is super healthy. Kelp contains 23 minerals, including chlorophyll, folic acid, Vitamins A, B12, D and Iodine. Iodine in particular is not stored in the body. It needs to be taken on a daily basis. Kelp benefits brittle nails and hair, dry skin, obesity, cold hands and feet, poor concentration and memory, enlarged thyroid gland, hair loss, poor digestion, and kills the herpes virus.
