VIVA! HEALTH TONIC
Robert A. Barnett, author of ''Tonics, More Than 100 Recipes That Improve the Body and the Mind,'' defines a tonic as a food, an herb or a thought that improves your well-being. In traditional Chinese medicine, tonics are used to enhance immunity, with specific herbs prescribed for specific problems. In Europe, tonics are given to stimulate digestion, while here in the West, Barnett says, we think of them as anything that you put in your mouth that makes you feel better.
