Wellness begins with prevention. This popular age old folk remedy is a delightfully tasty supplement, packed with antioxidants and vitamins including high C and offers numerous hea lth benefits, primarily to strengthen and support the immune system and lower inflammation. The Ancient Greek physician Hippocrates, the 'father of medicine' who coined the adage 'Let your food be your medicine, and medicine be your food', called the elder tree his 'medicine chest'. It's the most versatile supplement for whatever ails you, and is known to shorten bouts of colds/flu by 2-3 days. The lovely purple berries appear in summer following the fragrant elderflower bloom (which I use in skin care blends), and in season are gathered and de-stemmed by hand. Wild harvested elderberries, ginger, cinnamon are prepared in small batches and blended with generous quantities of pure raw local honey. Simple ingredients. Powerful plant nutrition. 5 oz. glass bottle is generally shelf stable because it contains honey, but refrigeration is recommended. Take one teaspoon 3x daily at the onset of illness, or may be taken 1 teaspoon daily for general immune support. Daily use is generally not recommended for individuals with auto-immune conditions, as the immune-stimulating properties may exacerbate an already overactive immune system. Show more
