DIY Organic Elderberry Syrup Kit

A little about the ingredients we use and why they are beneficial!

– What are the benefits of the Elderberry? It is a wonderful antioxidant for our bodies! There are these things called bioflavonoids and other proteins in the juice of the Elderberry that have been shown to destroy the ability of cold and flu viruses to infect the cells in your body. Other benefits of the Elderberry are it’s ability to help lower cholesterol, improve heart health, improve vision, boost the immune system, help fight bacterial and viral infection as well as tonsillitis. This herb is just amazing and is wonderful at stimulating the body’s immune system!

– What are the benefits of Rose Hips? These little reddish pink morsels of nutrient packed goodness are extremely rich in vitamin C! In fact, they contain 50% more vitamin C than oranges. It also contains vitamin A which helps in preventing bacterial and viral infections.

– What are the benefits of Ginger Root? Among it’s many benefits for traveling, nausea and digestive issues, Ginger Root is anti-viral and a great warming cold and flu remedy. This is an amazing supplement to add to any immune booster recipe.

– What are the benefits of Cinnamon? Again, this is another spice that has amazing health benefits in many different areas of one’s physical body. In relation to colds and flus, Cinnamon is a warming spice great for colds, which helps stimulate circulation, especially to the fingers and toes. It can also help with aching muscles and other symptoms related to viral conditions of colds and the flu.

– What are the benefits of Astragalus? This funky named item is a perennial plant that is a part of the pea family. This little plant does an amazing job at restoring activity to a suppressed immune system, meaning it’s a great immune enhancer! Unlike Echinacea, which is considered more fast acting, Astragalus builds and strengthens your immune system over time – helping build a resistance to disease, sickness and illness.

– What are the benefits of RAW honey? The list of benefits for this wonderful creation is long and extensive, so let me sum it up. RAW honey (and by RAW, I mean truly, really, absolutely RAW) has amazing health benefits due to the fact that it is unheated, unfiltered and unpasteurized. RAW honey contains healthful enzymes, minerals, vitamins, amino acids and carbohydrates! Since it has a high enzyme count – it’s great for the digestive system and it’s also known to help seasonal allergies, when consumed consistently. RAW honey is not liquid, it is more of a creamy consistency, usually more of an off white color to light yellowish (all depending on the bees and flowers involved). Many people are scared to eat honey because it’s a sugar – but no fear. Unlike refined and processed sugar, honey is a single chain sugar which means your body digests it very easily and it doesn’t throw any of your hormones out of whack when you consume it! RAW honey is wonderfully healthy and I’m a huge advocate of consuming it!
