Modern Elixirs

I’m mixing and brewing some delicious elderberry syrup today, fresh for my clients who ordered yesterday. 😊 I’m making some extra bottles if you need one.

The price of elderberries has doubled this past week, but so far I’ve been able to avoid paying more. It’s one of the two higher cost ingredients, so I’m happy to have more coming to me at regular prices!

I’ll have a batch of syrup today and then another on Thursday or Friday, depending on that elderberry delivery.

Boost your immune system with elderberry syrup! It’s high in vitamins A and C, which can strengthen your body’s capacity to fight off viral bugs before they take you down. If they do take you down, they can help your body fight off the nasty bugs, even shortening the duration of viral illness.

My recent personal experience has been a 2 week bout of viral illness in my home. Both boys and hubby ran fever for 3 to 5 days, each of them had upper respiratory issues, and one had a nasty case of bronchitis.

Guess who never got sick? The only person who takes elderberry syrup every single day. ME.

Y’all, I had people coughing all over the place for 2 full weeks. They cover their mouths (most of the time), but they touch things. All. the. things. They wash their hands, but they touch their faces. Then they touch everything. Doorknobs. Countertops. Faucet handles. Drink cups that I refilled no less than 30,000 times. I’m not a germophobe. I don’t use Lysol in the air and on surfaces. I use natural cleaning products, but don’t go insane with them. I don’t mind germs. (Unless there’s a stomach bug in the house! 😉) I eat healthy food, exercise regularly, spend time outside, and take my elderberry syrup.

Guess who decided to start taking elderberry syrup every day? All 3 guys.
