haarlemmerolie

Haarlemmerolie is a natural supplement that can be taken for a range of ailments. The potion is a mixture of sulphur, herbs and terebinth oil. It is produced in Haarlem, the Netherlands. It was invented in 1696 by Claes Tilly and was marketed as a cure for many ailments. The word haarlemmerolie (with a lowercase 'h') is now used in Dutch to indicate a fix for all problems. I.e., "lowering taxes will be like haarlemmerolie for the economy". This is also used sarcastically. The medicine is also called medicamentum gratia probatum.
