Herb of the day

One of our favorites—Elderberry!


On a recent local hike, we came across some beautiful clusters of ripe elderberries, and that means one thing: syrup season! Elderberry syrup is a time-honored remedy, perfect for supporting wellness as we head into the fall cold and flu season.
Elderberries have been widely studied for their powerful immune-boosting properties. They’re rich in compounds called anthocyanins—the same plant pigments that give many purple foods their deep color. These compounds are known for their antioxidant and immunostimulant effects, helping the body respond more effectively to seasonal challenges.


Research has shown that elderberry syrups and tinctures are not only safe and cost-effective but also effective in reducing the duration and severity of cold and flu symptoms. Best of all, they’re easy to make at home with just a few simple ingredients!
