What started this journey...
In 2014, our family started to grow! Through the challenges we faced with growing our family, it became clear how important it is to be conscious about what we are exposed to and what we place in our bodies. With a background in modern medicine and our new knowledge of natural remedies and integrative medicine, we started on a journey to decrease exposures to toxins and focus on nurturing our body with natural remedies.
Through this journey, we were introduced to Elderberries! We found ourselves looking for a solution to some common toddler issues that didn't involve products filled with artificial dyes and preservatives! I started making Elderberry Syrup for our family and we quickly learned that Hippocrates, the Greek ‘Father of Medicine’ was right! Hippocrates called elderberries his medicine chest due to their healing ability for so many different ailments. I noticed our kids were no longer constantly sick, runny noses had drastically improved, night time coughs had disappeared, and we were able to completely eliminate our need for over-the-counter cough and cold medicines! Instead of constant sickness, we were able to start using Elderberry syrup as a preventative to stay healthy, and now, instead of a real cough, our kid’s will pretend cough and say ‘more elderberry syrup mommy,’ because it’s so yummy!
After seeing what a huge impact it was making on our family and knowing how beneficial it was to our everyday health and wellness, we developed a strong passion to share that and provide a great tasting elderberry syrup, from a trusted and reliable source, close to home!
Thanks to raving reviews and word-of-mouth about our Elderberry Syrup, we have been blessed with the opportunity to expand and make our Elderberry Syrup for others! We are excited to see where this journey takes us and will stay committed to using only the best ingredients to make our products, and maintain the same level of trust that you have already grown to love and have with us!
Elderberry syrup is traditionally taken preventatively, and as a treatment, for the flu & colds. However, it can be extremely beneficial for other ailments such as strep throat, allergies, hand foot & mouth, sinus infections, and other viruses, etc...
We are located in Clemmons, North Carolina, just west of Winston-Salem but are happy to ship to any state in the U.S.A.
WHAT ARE THESE ELDERBERRIES I KEEP HEARING ABOUT!?
Elderberries are one of the most antiviral herbs on the planet and have numerous health benefits. Most popular are their anti-inflammatory, antiviral, anti-influenza, and anticancer properties! Elderberry syrup is most commonly taken as a preventative and remedy for colds, viruses and allergies.
Elderberries aren't just an ancient herbal remedy passed down through centuries (well, actually, they are!), but they are also scientifically proven to be effective against the flu virus. Elderberry Syrup is often referred to as the 'flu bomb' due to it's impressive impact on shortening to the duration and symptoms of the flu! Some evidence suggests that chemicals in elder flower and berries may help reduce swelling in mucous membranes, including the sinuses, and help relieve nasal congestion... therefore, they are most commonly taken by mouth to treat respiratory illnesses such as cold and flu!
Our Elderberry products are made from the dried berries of the Sambucus Nigra plant. This plant is comprised of compounds that naturally aid the body in improving colds and cold symptoms, flu, inflammation, allergies, constipation, sinus issues, and body aches and pains.
WHAT MAKES OUR SYRUP SPECIAL? We believe in keeping it simple!
Sticking to the basics, we handcraft our Organic Elderberry Syrup using just a short list of ingredients! Elderberries, Cinnamon, Clove, Ginger, Vitamin C, + Honey or Maple Syrup!
Based off our experience and research, we have chosen these ingredients due to the proven effectiveness of this combination and the questionable safety & efficacy of ingredients found in other elderberry syrups.
