Elderberry

If you are like me then you love a good liquid. I am a liquid freak! I always have at least 2-3 liquids with me at any given moment. Water, coffee, tea etc. If I can take medicine in liquid form, then that’s what I will do.

My favorite drink the past few years since Covid has been Elderberry Syrup.

What is it?! Well elderberry is a fruit berry that uncooked can cause digestive distress. So please make sure your Elderberries are cooked!!!!

Many people take Elderberry orally by gummies or syrups.

There are many benefits of Elderberries both internally and externally.

Here are some benefits of Elderberries:

• lowers blood sugar

• anti-inflammatory

• natural diuretic

• encourages healthy skin

• may ease allergy symptoms

• can be a natural laxative in larger dosages

• helps prevent cold and flu and may help with sinus infections

• used for centuries as a topical aid for wounds

• high in vitamins A, B, C and potassium

• natural support for arthritis

• high in fiber

  Whether you take a tablespoon daily or you only take it when you’re sick it can be very beneficial to your health. Try adding it to your tea, seltzers, coffee or just drink it straight! Most Elderberry syrups are made with cloves, honey, lemon, ginger and cinnamon so it’s great by itself. I personally LOVE the flavor and don’t need to add it to anything. A berry that is high in pretty much everything is a win-win in my book!
