Elderberry Syrup

ELDERBERRY SYRUPđŸ« is SO good for the immune system!

If we’ve learned anything from COVID,  it’s to focus on anti virals. If you’ve followed along with my posts, you’ll know that I’ve shared about how we (sometimes unknowingly) struggle with other viruses like the Epstein Barr Virus. I want to share with you about this syrup which I’m surprised it’s taken me this long to make! I’m excited to continue to support my immune system and starve or kill off any unwanted invaders 👊

“Elderberry is great as an everyday immune system builder. Elderberry moderates and balances the immune system by helping to rebuild and replenish it throughout the entire body and organs. Elderberries unique photochemical compounds act as an energized to weakened immune cells that have been depleted by low-grade pathogen infections. Elderberry tends to weaken incoming viruses that are new to the body. Elderberry Syrup is also sweet and delicious, making it a fantastic remedy that even children will enjoy and take willingly.” — Medical Medium
