Jaime has been making local, organic, handcrafted Elderberry Syrup this cold/flu season. Unfamiliar with the importance of supporting your immune system all year long? Here’s a little more info about, Why Elderberry?
(botanical name: Sambucus Nigra) Elderberries (Sambucus) have been a folk remedy for centuries in North America, Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa, hence the medicinal benefits of elderberries are being investigated and rediscovered. Elderberry is used for its antioxidant activity, to lower cholesterol, to improve vision, to boost the immune system, to improve heart health and for coughs, colds, flu, bacterial and viral infections and tonsillitis. Bioflavonoids and other proteins in the juice destroy the ability of cold and flu viruses to infect a cell. People with the flu who took elderberry juice reported less severe symptoms and felt better much faster than those who did not. (resource: herbwisdom.com)
