Elderberry Elixir

Description

Elderberry Elixir in the 2oz glass dropper bottle is a convenient and easy way to get your daily dose of Elderberry. And it is a safe, effective “kid friendly” herb.

Elderberry is an exceptional ally during colds, flu, and respiratory infections due to its diaphoretic and antiviral actions. Elderberry is also anti-inflammatory, anti-catarrhal and expectorant, and helps in cases of colds, sinusitis and sinus allergies to reduce inflammation of sinus tissue and allow for the movement of congestion. Research reviewed by Ulbricht et al. (2014) suggests that “herbal preparations containing elder may result in less swelling of mucus membranes, better drainage, milder headache, and decreased nasal congestion.” Elderberry is also effective for coughs and congestion associated with lower respiratory viral infections, promoting expectoration of mucus associated with bronchial infections.

Elderberry tincture or syrup is a mainstay in many an herbalist’s apothecary, as the go-to herb at the very initial signs of cold or flu. Taken at onset, elderberry can reduce the duration of cold/flu because it interferes with virus replication, and strengthens cell walls to inhibit viral penetration (Hoffmann, 2003).
