Hematonic

/ˌhɛməˈtɑnɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or strengthening the blood; having a tonic or invigorating effect on blood health.

Etymology

From Greek 'haima' (blood) + 'tonikos' (strengthening, from 'tonos' meaning tension or tone). The term emerged in 19th-century medical literature to describe substances believed to invigorate or fortify the blood.

Kelly Says

Before modern medicine, doctors thought certain foods and medicines could literally 'tone up' your blood like flexing a muscle—hence hematonic tonics were sold as pick-me-ups, often with dubious ingredients like iron filings and crushed beetles!
