Testimonials:

"My 2 year old son would take this by the spoonfuls if I let him! The instant my kids have any sign of problems I always make Elderberry Syrup. Last year I used the Elderberry Syrup for my 6 year old boy. He had a tight cough and just wasn't improving with anything else we tried. After having him take the syrup faithfully for about 2-3 days, the congestion in his chest loosened, he was able to cough it all out and within 5 days of taking the syrup was out and playing like normal. He didn't get sick again all season long, I believe, from the way this helped to boost and support his immune system." - Andrea 

"My kids actually took this syrup! It is very "Mom Friendly" when having kids take it. It took them a couple times taking it to get used to the taste, but I had them take it faithfully for a couple of days when they started to get the sniffles and the illness never persisted. We went through the flu season illness free! It was nice to use something that was helping to heal their bodies from the inside out instead of just putting a 'medical bandaid' over their problem." - Holly
 


Ingredients and Properties
Elderberries: Elderberries support the immune system and contain Anthocyanins. We have used it for bronchitis, colds, flu, sinus, viral illnesses, etc. Only caution is DO NOT USE if you have an autoimmune disease. "German studies have linked anthocyanins with greatly increased immune coordination. Anthocyanins have been shown to boost the production of immune cytokines. The cytokines are key messengers in the immune system to help regulate the immune response. This allows the body to defend against disease. These studies have shown the antioxidant balance of elderberry to be greater than equal doses of vitamin E and vitamin C."

Echinacea: Supports your body during colds, sinus, sore throat, flu, inflammation, bacteria, and viral illness.  All species of this herbal remedy have compounds called phenols.  "Many plants contain phenols, active substances which control the activity of a range of enzymes and cell receptors, and protect the plant from infections and UV radiation damage. Phenols have high antioxidant properties, which are good for human health. Echinacea also contains alkylamides or alkamides, (not in E. pallida), which have an effect on the immune system. Echinacea also contains polysaccharides, glycoproteins, and caffeic acid derivatives." (Medical News Today article on Echinacea)
Ginger: Supports the body during colds, flu, digestion, and cardiovascular issues. It is a stimulant and warming for the body. Ginger has a long tradition of being very effective in alleviating symptoms of gastrointestinal distress. In herbal medicine, ginger is regarded as an excellent carminative (a substance which promotes the elimination of intestinal gas) and intestinal spasmolytic (a substance which relaxes and soothes the intestinal tract). Modern scientific research has revealed that ginger possesses numerous therapeutic properties including antioxidant effects, an ability to inhibit the formation of inflammatory compounds, and direct anti-inflammatory effects.
Rose Hips: Extremely high in Vitamin C, B, E, and K. Supports the body by calming spasms. It has the ability to help regenerate new skin cells because of astringent levels. The fruit acids and pectin in rose hip tea is a mild diuretic and laxative. It is used to improve, and relieve the symptoms of kidney disorders, or to help in the case of mild constipation. Because of the high vitamin C content they are an excellent immune system supporter and are often used as a supplement to prevent or treat a cold.  Rose hips are an excellent source of vitamin C.
Cinnamon: Supports the body during colds, digestion, flu. Has properties which contain possible antioxidant, antispasmodic, and antiviral results. One tablespoon of cinnamon provides 78 mg of calcium or 8% of daily requirements for an adult. It gives 4 % of daily iron needs and 73% of daily Manganese needs.
