This Immune Elixir combines powerful anti-microbial, fever reducing, and immune supportive herbs to potentially prevent and lessen the duration + severity of colds and flus while supporting and nourishing the body.

May be supportive during times of transitions as our bodies may need more physical and energetic support through big changes.
A combination of Elderberry, Yarrow, Turkey Tail mushroom, Rosehips, Cinnamon, Clove, Anise, and Raw Organic Ontario Honey.
Elderberries are known for their immune enhancing, and anti-viral benefits. Elder is also a protective ally during times of transition - holding space as we navigate liminal times such as the transition from darker months to light, or vice versa. Elder supports our ability to navigate cycles with clarity, ease & grace. Offering their wise, Elder energy, to help us hear our own truth & see our highest path.
All of the Plant Medicines were grown by me, picked with Love in the Forest, or Organically sourced.
*Formula has been altered a bit to allow shipping to the so called US - a small amount of Tincture {brandy alcohol} has been added to the formula to allow them to be a bit more shelf stable while shipping & any delays. Still best kept in fridge once received. For folks in so called CANADA, there is an alcohol free option at checkout. If you live in the States & choose this version, please note it is at your own discretion & risk if the bundle gets held at customs or delayed for any reason. May we all be well this Season, xo
WORK WITH ELDERBERRY ELIXIR:
Best worked with for prevention, and at the very first sign of a cold or flu. This particular combo is helpful for overall immune support & blood building. 1 spoonful 2-3x a day for prevention; or every 2 hours during first signs of acute illness. Some studies are showing Elderberry is effective toward the end of colds + flus as well to keep the immune system healthy.
CHILDREN'S Recipe :: Add to water and freeze for Elderberry Popsicles for stomach bugs, and other colds/flus. Or, give it straight off of the spoon - little ones love it! Not for children under 1 year. Always see practitioner.
FESTIVE ELIXIR recipe: Add to Champagne, or Elderflower Soda Water for an herbal elixir cocktail ;) Splash of Pomegranate juice is also delicious.

ABOUT THE MEDICINES:
Elderberries work best at the very first sign of a cold or flu. Studies have shown that if taken early, they may reduce the duration and intensity of colds/flus. They aren’t quite as effective if the illness has really set in, which is why we add Turkey Tail, Yarrow and warming herbs to assist the body in fighting the infection/pathogens, with extra fever support as well. Elderberry is also blood building, high in anti-oxidants, and overall nourishing for the body.
Turkey Tail is a powerful anti-microbial, anti-cancer, and immune boosting mushroom. They are deeply grounding and nourishing. Helping re-weave patterns of disharmony, and create new aligned ways forward.
Yarrow offers protection, both physical and energetic, to help us ward off seasonal colds/flus as well as reduce fever. Yarrow is also anti-inflammatory, potentially helping to reduce respiratory inflammation. They are also anti-microbial.
Rosehips are high in Vitamin C, which our body needs more of when fighting an infection. Vitamin C also may support overall immune health, while acting as an 'adaptogen,' helping our bodies to navigate stress.
The warming herbs are delicious & comforting, as well as promote circulation in order to get our blood moving and send our pathogen fighting Immune cells where they need to go!
Lastly, raw local Organic Honey helps to keep the Elixir shelf stable, adds sweetness, soothes a sore throat and cough, and has beneficial enzymes to add to the anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory actions of this syrup.
KEEP REFRIGERATED & Use within 4-6 months, or freeze.
