herbal tonic

Botanical wellness drink

A herbal tonic is a drink made from plant extracts, traditionally believed to promote health or restore vitality.

Tonics range from folk remedies to commercial beverages: She swears by her grandmother's herbal tonic for colds.

The term carries connotations of natural wellness, though claimed benefits often lack scientific support.
