Trademarking a traditional remedy is wrong. Herbal medicine fosters interconnection and is, by its nature, empowering and generous. Taking out a trademark on a traditional remedy in the public domain is the antithesis of that. A solution would be for you to modify your trademark to include your name, be it the name of the person who came up with your particular recipe, or Shire City Herbals' Fire Cider. Do you see the difference between protecting your work and unjustly attempting to prohibit others from doing theirs? What will your business accounts think about this controversy? Rosemary Gladstar has freely taught the herbal community about fire cider for 35 years. It is disrespectful to claim the name for yourself. Here's her recipe: "Fire Cider 1 part Garlic 1 part Horseradish 1 part Onions ½ part Fresh ginger Cayenne to taste (just a few grains will do) Honey to taste Apple Cider Vinegar. Chop fresh garlic, onions, and horseradish into small pieces. Grate fresh ginger. The amounts and proportions vary according to your particular taste.. If unsure, start with equal amounts of the first three ingredients and roughly half part ginger the first time you make this; you can always adjust the flavors in future batches. Chop enough of the first four ingredients to fill a quart jar approximately half full. Put in wide mouth quart jar and cover with Apple Cider vinegar (keep vinegar about two to three inches above the herbs). Add cayenne to taste (just a small amount or will be too hot!). Let sit two to three weeks. Strain and discard spent herbs. Add honey to taste (add the honey after you strain the rest of the herbs). Fire Cider should taste hot, spicy and sweet. Great as a winter time tonic and/or as a remedy for colds and coughs. I loved to take little shot glasses as a tonic and often people use it as salad dressing and/or on rice or steamed vegetables. It’s quite tasty!"
