Many of you who are new to the PMA may not know, this whole thing started with elderberry! Back in 2013 when I was pregnant with my son, Teddy, I was looking for a way to help lessen the chance of catching colds and flu. Those of you who are mamas know you can't really take any meds while pregnant, so I wanted to avoid being sick as much as possible! I asked my midwife about elderberry syrup and the rest is history.
I got tired of spending $20 for a tiny little 4oz bottle at the pharmacy, so I started making my own. The year after that, friends and family started asking me to make them some, then they started telling their friends, and pretty soon I had more orders than I could easily keep track of.
If you're not familiar with elderberry syrup, this is one of THE BEST things to have on hand to keep your family healthy. Elderberry is naturally high in vitamin c, is antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and is an amazing immune modulator. If your immune system is going into overdrive or needs a little boost, elderberry can help balance it out. The addition of raw local honey makes it a great seasonal allergy option, and in our respiratory blend, the addition of mullein provides major lung support for those colds that come with cough and congestion.
