ENJOY A HEALTHIER WINTER!

Want to know how my family has a HEALTHIER Winter? Or, how we strengthened Eric's immune system after 2 cancer battles and a stem cell transplant? There are LOTS of things you can and should do to support and build your immune system, of course... but one of the most important steps we take, especially in the Winter months, is taking Elderberry Syrup! Elderberry (along with a few other important ingredients, in the right ratios) can help support your immune system - so that when you DO get a cold or flu bug, it is shorter, less severe, and less likely to lead to a secondary infection like bronchitis, pneumonia, or a sinus infection! (see studies linked below)*

We've been taking Elderberry Syrup since 2017 and every year I adjust my ingredient ratios to improve my recipe! This past year was my most effective formulation yet and I'm excited to share it with you in an easy (and darling) DIY Kit!

✱ FAQ's, ingredient list, and recipe instructions found in the menus below. (Watch a FB Replay HERE where we chat all about it!)

INGREDIENTS

INGREDIENTS (included in packet): Elderberries, Cinnamon, Ginger, Star Anise, Cloves

ALSO INCLUDES: Written recipe instructions, serving suggestions, and 2.5" Round sticker to label your jar

DOES NOT INCLUDE: Jar or Honey (recipe requires 1 cup of honey)

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS: Add contents to 4 cups cool water; bring to a light boil, stirring occasionally. Turn heat down and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes. Remove from heat, lightly mash with a potato masher, then cover, let sit for 1 hour to cool. Pour through a mesh strainer; mesh is best, it will catch the pulp/seeds (or use cheesecloth). Press with spoon to express more juice from the berries, then discard. Add 1 cup of honey to sweeten & thicken; stir until honey is dissolved. Pour into mason jar, label with sticker provided. Store in the fridge; shelf life is 8-12 weeks once made.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Take 1 teaspoon prepared syrup daily for immune support during cold/flu season OR take 1 TBSP 3-4x daily at early onset of cold/flu symptoms. For children under 12... half the dose. Not recommended for children under age one (due to honey content).

PRODUCT SIZE DETAILS

  • NET WEIGHT (of dry ingredients in packet): 4.5 oz
  • YIELD: This recipe will yield 24-26 oz of Elderberry Syrup (variance depends on how much liquid you simmer off and how much you squeeze/press from the berries)

FAQ'S

HOW MUCH SALVE SHOULD I USE? In general, consider using a "small glop" the size of a pump or two of lotion and apply over the affected area 1-2x daily as needed.

WHAT IS THE SHELF LIFE? My products are best used with a year of purchase.

DO SALVES STAIN CLOTHING? Be sure to massage the salve into your skin well, then allow a few minutes for it to absorb. If your clothing stains, consider using a little bit less or allow it to absorb longer before dressing.

✱ YOUNG CHILDREN & BABIES: Any product that contains eucalyptus, camphor, or peppermint essential oils or menthol crystals is not suitable for young children or babies.

✱ PREGNANT/NURSING MOMS: Some herbal blends may not be appropriate for pregnant or nursing mothers. Consult with a physician before use.
