Ya Bamrung Rangkai ‚ literally "the medicine that nourishes the body" ‚ is the classic Thai general tonic, and Erawadee's No.1 is a dried blend of around seventy herbs, roots and barks led by black ginger (Kaempferia parviflora) at 20%. You prepare it yourself at home, either as a boiled water infusion or the traditional Thai way, steeped in spirit with a little honey. It is meant as a daily tonic taken over a period, not a one-off drink, and the same batch of dried mixture can be used twice.

Benefits

• Around 70 Thai herbs, roots and barks in one dried tonic blend
• Led by black ginger (Kaempferia parviflora), the Thai endurance herb, at 20% of the mix
• Traditionally used to support steady everyday energy and physical endurance
• Traditionally taken to support recovery after exertion
• Includes goji berry and licorice root for a rounder, sweeter infusion
• Prepare as a water infusion or a traditional alcohol infusion; the mixture can be used twice

How to Use

Alcohol infusion: pour 2–4 litres of vodka over the dried mixture in a clean glass container, optionally adding 4 tablespoons of honey, and leave to infuse for up to 10 days, stirring from time to time. Water infusion: pour 2 litres of water over the mixture, boil for 10 minutes, leave to infuse for 2 hours, then strain. The mixture can be used a second time within 30 days; store the dried mixture in a shady place at room temperature. This is a traditional herbal preparation, not a medicine. Follow the directions on the package.
