This beautiful, double extracted elderberry herbal blend is just what you need to help your body fight off any cold or flu year round! This is not your typical elderberry syrup, but is instead a powerful and effective elixer made up of two carefully crafted parts.
I have thoughtfully formulated an anti-viral blend of herbs which includes elderberry, elderflower, calendula, echinacea, ginger, orange peel, cinnamon, cloves and other beautfully effective immune boosting herbs, and tinctured them in alcohol. Once the tincture has infused for two months, I make a very concentrated herbal decoction using the same herbal blend, then combine both the tincture and the decoction. The benefits of doing it this way is to get every last bit of herbal power from our plants! Some plant constituents can only be extracted via water and heat, where as others are extracted best in alcohol. Combine the two with some local raw honey for an added anti-bacterial boost, and you end up with a beautifully powerful and effective herbal elixer which uses all of our plants medicial properties!
Other benefits to this super concentrated elixer is that you take much smaller doses than a typical elderberry syrup, so a 4 ounce bottle is going to last you and your family quite a while! It is also shelf stable up to a year without refrigeration, and yes, it is suitable for children over 2 years of age! The amount of alcohol in a child-size dose yields about the same amount of alcohol you might find in any over-the-counter liquid medication or even in a ripe banana!
I recommend only taking our Elderberry Immunity Elixer at the onset on cold or flu symptoms. The herbs found in this blend work best as an immune booster as apposed to a daily immune support. Your body can actually get “used” to some herbs if taken on the regular which can make them less effective when your body needs them most! This elixir is meant to help your body knock out those yuckies ASAP so you can get back to feeling your best!
