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).

Goldenrod (Solidago spp.) There is a very strong tradition, coming from various parts of the world, for the use of goldenrod to support the kidneys and bladder and it has significant antimicrobial activity to help the entire digestive system as well. The second major theme for the medicinal use of Goldenrod is in regards to its toning, antimicrobial, antiinflammatory, and diuretic effects upon the urinary system. It’s antimicrobial effects help by supporting the urinary system through difficulties such as urinary tract infections and nephritis. It also helps support the upper respiratory system, and sinusitis especially during allergy season as a result of its true anti-histamine action. Lastly, Solidago species have been listed in both ethnobotanical literature as well as traditional herbal literature as a supportive diaphoretics that can be used during a cold or influenza even for children with fever and flu (Smith, 1933; Turner et al., 1980). Lastly, there is much research mentioning its usefulness in infantile colic and flatulence, as well as sickness of the stomach, stomach cramps, and vomiting in children and adults alike (Felter & Lloyd, 1898; Ellingwood, 1919). It is a very old traditional to use Goldenrod for support of the gastrointestinal system. -

Hawthorn (Crataegus columbiana) North American hawthorn species were used by many Native tribes for various purposes including relieving stomachache, as a female tonic, for bladder and kidney troubles, and to strengthen the heart (Foster, 2009). Hawthorn’s current use as an herbal cardiac tonic emerged in England in the late 1800s, after an Irish physician named Greene became well-known for successfully treating heart patients with a hawthorn berry extract (Foster, 2009). Today, herbalists use hawthorn extract as a general cardiac tonic, for cases of angina, high blood pressure, early stages of congestive heart failure, and atherosclerosis (Murray, 1995). It is the go-to herb for any heart-related condition, including helping to support the heart following a heart attack. It is also used as a nervine and anti-inflammatory herb. Hawthorn extract is believed to increase the strength of heart muscle contractions, as well as helping to modestly reduce serum cholesterol levels and plaque deposits in the arteries (Foster, 2009; Murray, 1995), although the latter assertion needs more research on the clinical level. Hawthorn appears to improve the mechanics of the heart and its metabolic processes, dilate coronary arteries, and inhibit enzymes that cause vasoconstriction (Murray, 1995; Verma et al, 2007). These actions make it useful in early congestive heart may indicate that WS® 1442 can potentially reduce the incidence of sudden cardiac death, at least in patients with less compromised left ventricular function” (Holubarsch et al., 2008). Naturopathic physician Michael T. Murray (1995) explains that hawthorn’s flavonoids help protect and stabilize the collagen matrix within the artery by cross-linking fibers, scavenging free radicals, quenching inflammation, and inhibiting the release of inflammatory agents. Maintaining sound arterial integrity and protecting the arterial walls from lesions discourage cholesterol deposits. Hawthorn also inhibits LDL oxidation (Quettier-Deleu et al., 2003). Hawthorn is also a calming nervine and is used much like rose, and often with rose, to heal, open, and protect the energetic heart. Hawthorn is Rosemary Gladstar’s (2010) favorite remedy for sadness, grief, and loss or when the hearts needs a bit of extra protection.
