Electuary

An electuary is a medicine consisting of a powder or other ingredient mixed with something sweet such as honey to make it more palatable.

In German and Swiss cultures, electuary (Latwerge or Latwerg) is also more generally a thickened juice and honey preparation with a thick, viscous consistency that is used in for culinary purposes, such as a (bread) spread or as a sauce ingredient.

In the Indian Ayurveda tradition, electuaries are called Lēhya (लेह्य) (literally, "lickable").

Types
There are many different types of electuary: laxative electuary, joyful electuary etc. The fermentation of mixed herbs in honey and their effects on each other, increases medical properties already present and creates new ones.
