Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) is so named as a wise ‘elder’ plant, and with such notoriety she has spread her roots deeply throughout history, mythology, and medicines. Her immune support is well researched. For starters Elderberry is full of flavonoids including anthocyanins, quercetin and rutin, which perform some of the most important immunological protective forces against invasive pathogens. You see, in order for an immune challenge to take hold, it must penetrate your cells. Elderberry flavonoids become something like defensive ninjas for our cells, binding with foreign invaders and preventing them from entering. Flavonoids also support a healthy inflammation response, which can offer comfort during immune challenges. Elderberry also activates the body’s non-specific, or innate, immune response. This why Elderberry can take effect in a short period of time when you start to feel under the weather. In addition to providing a short-term immune boost, Elderberry can also be taken at a lower dose (once a day) to build body resiliency.
With such reverence in mind, our brew blend offers a generous amount of her rich dark fruits that provide a panacea of big plant medicine, particularly flavonoids and antioxidants. In addition, we add in a host of adaptogen herbs, replenishing roots and comforting spices: Echinacea, Ginger, Liquorice, Rosehip, Hibiscus, Cinnamon and Cloves which go a long way to getting you through the cold and flu season, or a kick-arse all-year-round tonic. This brew kit produces around litre of high potency, concentrated syrup. In addition to this kit, all that is needed is filtered water, raw honey (or equivalent) and apple cider vinegar. Once made, this brew can be stored up to 6 months. Designed for all ages, including pregnant and breastfeeding women.
