Elderberry elixir

A protective blend, made with antioxidant rich elderberries and a warming mix of honey, turmeric, ginger, rosemary and cinnamon.

As we leave the milder seasons behind us, keeping winter colds at bay becomes something of a project for us. Traditional cold and flu medicines are full of nasties, which can mask symptoms but don’t protect and prevent. It’s a no from us. 

As ever, we look to nature for the answer and draw on the tangy goodness of the small but mighty elderberry. Rich in antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fibre, and potassium, amazingly, one 145g cup is packed with 870 mg of vitamin A, 406 mg of potassium, 52.2 mg of vitamin C, 9 mg of folate, 55 mg of calcium, and 2.32 mg of iron. 

We create our deliciously fruity flavour by mixing our elderberries with other immune-friendly and vitamin-rich organic gifts from nature’s garden:

Honey – for its antibacterial properties, natural sweetness and gorgeous viscosity 
Turmeric – for its potentially anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties
Ginger – for the anti-inflammatory gingerols and shogaols found in the root, which can help to relieve a sore throat, and kill rhinoviruses (the cause of the common cold)
Rosemary – for its antimicrobial and antiviral properties as well as its potential to stimulate the circulatory system, encouraging blood flow to the brain and relieving head and body aches
Cinnamon – for its ability to stop bacteria and fungi in their tracks

We use 1% organic cognac as a natural preservative to keep the elixir fresh.

100% Organic. Zero chemicals. Handmade with love.
