Elderberry Immunity Syrup: How Much, How Often

Elderberry season is here!

Elderberry is naturally anti-viral & antibacterial. It is wonderful for flu! It's a diaphoretic meaning that it naturally lowers fevers without danger to the body. It's great for cold, flu, high blood pressure and more! Taking this preventatively and heavily during the first onset of cold & flu can help you to not get sick, or get less sick. 

My elderberry is available most of them time through the winter. I make it sporadically so if your interested just reach out! 

They are made with the following Organic ingredients:
(except the honey & water of course)

  • Elderberries, picked fresh by me!
  • Purified Water
  • Raw Local Honey 
  • Ginger 
  • Clove
  • Cinnamon
  • Love
$15 a pint:) email me at desiree@modernhippie.org!
