Concoction is the process of preparing a medicine, food or other substance out of many ingredients, and also the result of such a process.

Historically, the word referred to digestion , as conceived by Aristotle who theorized that this was the result of the heat of the body acting upon the material, causing it to mature and ripen. [1]

The term later came to refer to liquid broths , cocktails and potions which are similarly formed by heating or blending multiple ingredients. Concoctions that were made in apothecaries , or as used in traditional medicine , usually include ingredients not generally used for food, and are liquids intended to be drunk for purposes such as medication or performance enhancement [ citation needed ] , rather than nourishment or pleasure (in which case it would be cookery or cuisine ). In a medical context, such concoctions have largely been superseded by modern medicine .

In modern usage, the term may refer more loosely to any mixture of various ingredients, including soups and cocktails , [2] or abstract ingredients, such as design elements in architecture or fashion , or an elaborate excuse .
[3] In such uses, the term often retains a connotation that the mixture is strange, unusual, or elaborate. [4]
