As a small, family-operated business, we have hit a temporary hurdle. Due to a recent injury and surgery, we are unable to bottle or brew new product for the next 6 to 8 months. We truly appreciate your patience and support while we focus on recovery and getting back to the craft we love.
Habaneros induce a process called “thermogenesis.” This effectively turns up your body’s internal thermostat. To manage this heat, your body has to use energy, which temporarily boosts your metabolic rate. It’s a natural way to wake up a sluggish metabolism and encourage the body to burn fuel rather than store it.*
Most people think of citrus when they think of Vitamin C, but peppers are actually far denser in this vital nutrient. Green and Orange Habaneros are packed with Vitamin C, a crucial antioxidant for immune health. We include the pepper not just for the kick, but to provide a raw, whole-food source of this immune-boosting vitamin.*
The best ingredients in the world are useless if they stay in your stomach. Habanero acts as a “bio-enhancer.” By increasing circulation and permeability in the tissues, it ensures that the anti-inflammatory compounds from the Turmeric and the immune boosters from the Garlic are transported quickly into the bloodstream, rather than being digested slowly.*
The brain perceives the heat of a Habanero as a signal to protect the body. In response, it releases endorphins and dopamine—your body’s natural painkillers and mood elevators. This is often called the “Capsaicin High.” It leaves users feeling invigorated, sharp, and surprisingly happy after the initial wave of heat subsides.*
While Horseradish hits the sinuses with vapor, Habanero hits them with heat. The intense spice stimulates the mucous membranes to produce thinner, more fluid secretions. This action helps liquefy thick, stubborn congestion that has settled in the sinus cavities, allowing the body to drain and expel it naturally.*
Capsaicin is a potent vasodilator. When you consume it, it triggers a reaction that relaxes the inner walls of your blood vessels, allowing them to widen. This lowers resistance and allows blood to rush more freely through the body. This is why your face might flush after a shot—it is visual proof that your circulation is being kickstarted and blood is moving efficiently.*
Onions and Garlic are sisters in the Allium family, and they work better together. Quercetin acts as a “Zinc Ionophore,” meaning it helps transport Zinc (a crucial immune mineral) into your cells where it can stop viral replication. When combined with the antimicrobial power of Garlic, Red Onion amplifies the formula’s total defensive capability.*
Probiotics (the bacteria) need food to survive. That food is called a prebiotic. Red onions are rich in inulin and fructooligosaccharides, fibers that your body can’t digest but your gut bacteria love. By feeding your microbiome with raw onion infusion, you are effectively “fertilizing the garden” of your gut, promoting a stronger immune system from the inside out.*
For centuries, herbalists have made “Onion Syrup” to treat stubborn coughs and sore throats. The antimicrobial juices of the onion help coat and soothe irritated membranes in the throat. While our formula is vinegar-based, the extracted onion essence retains these soothing properties, providing relief to a scratchy throat upon swallowing.*
Just like garlic, onions support heart health, but through a different mechanism. The specific sulfur compounds and flavonoids in red onion help prevent the oxidation of cholesterol and support the elasticity of blood vessels. Flexible, healthy vessels are key to maintaining optimal blood pressure and ensuring that nutrients travel efficiently to your tissues.*
That distinct deep purple color isn’t just for show; it comes from Anthocyanins. These are the same powerful antioxidants found in blueberries and acai. White onions lack these completely. By using Red Onion, we introduce a secondary layer of antioxidant protection that scavenges free radicals and protects cellular DNA from oxidative stress.*
Red onions are one of nature’s best sources of Quercetin. This bioflavonoid is widely studied for its ability to stabilize mast cells—the cells responsible for releasing histamine. By supporting a balanced histamine response, Quercetin helps maintain open, clear airways and reduces the “itchy” or “puffy” feeling that often comes with seasonal changes.*
Modern life—pollution, stress, processed food—creates “free radicals” that damage our cells. Raw garlic is packed with antioxidants that neutralize these free radicals. By reducing oxidative stress, it protects the structural integrity of your cells and supports overall longevity and vitality.*
Your liver loves sulfur. Garlic is loaded with organosulfur compounds, which are essential for Phase II detoxification in the liver. These compounds activate specific enzymes that help your body grab onto toxins and flush them out of the system. It’s a natural way to support the body’s built-in filter.*
The volatile oils in garlic are excreted partly through the lungs (which is why you get “garlic breath”). While this might be socially awkward, it is medicinally brilliant. As these compounds travel through the respiratory tract, they provide direct support to the bronchial tubes and lungs, helping to maintain clarity and fight off respiratory challenges.*
Garlic is unique in the microbial world. While antibiotics (which means “against life”) wipe out everything, garlic acts more selectively. It is rich in inulin, a prebiotic fiber that feeds beneficial gut bacteria (probiotics). At the same time, its antimicrobial properties help keep “bad” bacteria and yeast populations in check, promoting a harmonious gut environment.*

If you constantly have cold hands or feet, your circulation might be sluggish. Ginger is a vasodilator, meaning it helps widen blood vessels to allow blood to flow more freely. This improved circulation doesn’t just warm you up; it ensures that oxygen and vital nutrients are being efficiently transported to every corner of your body.*
Allicin is the powerhouse compound that gives garlic its smell and its strength. It stimulates the activity of white blood cells (macrophages and lymphocytes), which are your immune system’s frontline soldiers. By keeping these cells on high alert, raw garlic helps your body respond faster and more effectively when it encounters seasonal threats.*
There is a reason horseradish is traditionally served with roast beef. It is a “cholagogue,” meaning it stimulates the gallbladder to release bile. Bile is the body’s natural detergent for breaking down fats. Taking a shot of Black Plague Gold with a heavy, greasy meal helps your body digest those fats efficiently, preventing that sluggish, “weighed down” feeling.*
That feeling of “brain fog” often accompanies congestion. The sheer pungency of fresh horseradish provides a sensory shock that increases blood flow to the head. Users often report a feeling of sharpness and alertness immediately after a shot. It’s not caffeine energy; it’s the feeling of having your airways fully open and oxygen reaching the brain.*
Beyond the lungs, Horseradish has a long history of use as a diuretic. It helps stimulate the kidneys to increase urine production, which is essential for flushing toxins and bacteria out of the urinary tract. It’s a dual-action cleanser: clearing congestion from the top (sinuses) and flushing impurities from the bottom (urinary system).*
Horseradish is part of the brassica family (like broccoli), but significantly more potent. It is packed with Glucosinolates, which break down into powerful antimicrobial mustard oils. These oils are particularly effective in the upper respiratory tract, creating an environment that is hostile to bacteria and invaders that try to take hold in the throat and bronchial tubes.*
In herbal medicine, Horseradish is classified as a stimulating expectorant. This means it helps loosen and thin sticky mucus in the chest and throat. By encouraging productive coughing and flow, it helps the body expel stagnant congestion rather than letting it settle in the lungs, making it a go-to root during the wet, cold months.*
The sharp, spicy scent of horseradish comes from a compound called allyl isothiocyanate. Unlike chili heat (which stays in the mouth), this compound vaporizes instantly, traveling up into the sinuses. This natural reaction forces the nasal passages to dilate and open, encouraging immediate airflow. It’s nature’s way of hitting the “reset” button on a stuffy head.*
When you are feeling “under the weather,” body aches are often the first symptom. Ginger has been used for centuries to treat these systemic aches. The active gingerols share pharmacological properties with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Whether it’s soreness from a workout or the general heavy feeling of a cold, ginger provides natural, warming relief to tired muscles.*
Think of ginger as the taxi driver for the other ingredients. You can take all the Turmeric and Garlic you want, but if your body can’t absorb them, they go to waste. Ginger helps relax the intestinal lining and increases the permeability of the gut wall just enough to allow nutrients to pass through into the bloodstream more easily, amplifying the potency of the entire formula.*
Ginger is a “diaphoretic” herb, which means it helps regulate body temperature by promoting flow from the inside out. In winter, this increases crucial internal heat to fight off chills. In warmer months, it supports the body’s natural cooling mechanism—venting trapped heat and toxins through the pores. It acts as a reset button for your internal thermostat, ensuring your system doesn’t stagnate regardless of the weather.*
Whether it’s motion sickness or just a general feeling of queasiness, ginger is the gold standard for relief. The active gingerols in the fresh root work by blocking specific receptors in the gut that trigger nausea. Taking a shot of Black Plague Gold is an instant way to settle a “nervous” stomach or calm digestion after eating something that didn’t agree with you.*
If you constantly have cold hands or feet, your circulation might be sluggish. Ginger is a vasodilator—meaning it helps widen blood vessels to allow blood to flow more freely. This improved circulation doesn’t just warm you up; it ensures that oxygen and vital nutrients are being efficiently transported to every corner of your body.*
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, bloating and indigestion are often caused by “cold” or sluggish digestion. Fresh ginger is the antidote. It speeds up gastric emptying (how fast food leaves your stomach), ensuring that meals don’t sit heavy in your gut. By stimulating digestive enzymes, it helps break down food quickly, reducing the feeling of fullness and bloating after a heavy meal.*
If you break open a fresh turmeric root, your hands are instantly stained with a sticky, bright orange resin. That resin contains the vital essential oils (turmerones) that help your body absorb the curcumin. When turmeric is dried into powder for capsules, these oils evaporate. We refuse to use powder. By infusing the wet, fresh root, we preserve these natural delivery systems, ensuring you get the complete plant medicine as nature intended.*
Stiffness is often a sign of stagnation. Turmeric has been used for centuries to encourage flow and reduce the friction in joints that comes with aging or intense physical activity. Our high-density infusion delivers these compounds quickly to the bloodstream. Users often report that the “creaky” feeling in their knees and hands diminishes, allowing for smoother, more comfortable movement.*
Chronic inflammation is like a low-grade fire burning inside you, stealing your energy and causing brain fog. In herbal medicine, Turmeric is the ultimate “cooling” agent. By modulating inflammatory pathways at a molecular level, it helps put out that fire. This frees up your body’s energy reserves for focus and vitality, rather than constantly fighting internal stress.*
A healthy gut requires good flow. Turmeric stimulates the gallbladder to produce bile, which is essential for breaking down fats and absorbing nutrients. Beyond digestion, it helps soothe the mucous membranes of the intestinal wall. If you struggle with a “leaky” or irritated gut, the anti-inflammatory nature of fresh turmeric helps tighten and soothe the digestive lining.*
Turmeric doesn’t just “boost” immunity blindly; it is an immunomodulator. This means it helps train your immune system to be smarter reacting strongly when a virus or pathogen attacks but staying calm when it doesn’t need to fight. The active compound, Curcumin, activates your body’s T-cells and B-cells (your front-line defenders), helping you stay resilient during cold and flu season.*
Maintaining steady energy starts with how your body handles sugar. Studies suggest that the acetic acid in ACV can help support a healthy insulin response when taken with a meal. By helping your body metabolize carbohydrates more efficiently, it prevents that heavy “sluggish” feeling after eating and supports stable energy levels throughout the day.*
You can eat all the right foods, but if your stomach acid is too weak, you won’t absorb the nutrients. Minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron require an acidic environment to be fully utilized. Our raw ACV optimizes your stomach’s acidity, acting like a key that unlocks these vital minerals from your food and delivers them into your bloodstream where they belong.*

It seems counterintuitive: how can something that tastes acidic help alkalize the body?
While vinegar is acidic in the bottle, once it is metabolized by the body, it has an alkaline-forming effect. Modern diets, often high in processed foods and sugars, tend to create excess acidity in the system. A daily dose of raw ACV helps counteract this, encouraging a more balanced internal pH level, which is the foundation for overall systemic vitality and energy.*
In herbalism, digestion is often referred to as a “fire” that needs to be tended. If that fire is weak, food sits heavily and nutrients aren’t absorbed.
The naturally occurring acetic acid in our potent ACV acts as kindling for that fire. Taking a shot before or with a meal helps lower the stomach’s pH, priming the environment to break down proteins and fats quickly and efficiently. It’s the ultimate preparatory step for a heavy meal.*
Most store-bought vinegars are pasteurized, heated to high temperatures that kill off bacteria. We do the opposite. We exclusively use raw, unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar that is still teeming with the “Mother.”
This cloudy sediment isn’t an imperfection; it’s a living colony of beneficial proteins, enzymes, and friendly bacteria. By consuming it raw, you are introducing functional probiotics directly to your gut, actively supporting the diverse microbial ecosystem necessary for strong digestion and immune health.*
