ELDERBERRY!!
If there is only 1️⃣ thing you do after reading any of my posts, do THIS – get some elderberry in your home.
Flu & Cold season is SO MUCH BETTER with this amazing botanical helper.
In several double-blind placebo-controlled studies where people began taking elderberry within 48 hours of developing symptoms, 93% reported SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS within just 2 days (placebo groups took 6 days before seeing similar improvements!) Plus, symptoms completely resolved 4-5 days sooner in the elderberry group.
Research shows that those who take elderberry regularly actually have higher amounts of anti-bodies have higher levels of antibodies against the influenza virus, showing that not only may the berry be able to treat flu symptoms, it may also be able to prevent influenza infection 👊🏻
Wondering how elderberry works? According to pharmacy times “elderberries contain hemagglutinin protein. This protein has been shown to stop a virus’ capability to replicate by inhibiting its ability to penetrate the cell wall, thereby preventing the virus from causing infection if taken before exposed. If elderberries are taken after infection, that keeps the virus from spreading, which reduces the duration of influenza symptoms.”
These beauties grow in mountains throughout the united states- but don’t worry, if you didn’t get a chance to grab some fresh ones before it got too cold, you can use dried berries to make your own syrups – or you can snatch up my Dragon Cider (#spoileralert) or purchase some elderberry syrup or lozenges (here’s an organic option) online.
