Elderberry Elixir

 Keep colds and flu at bay the organic way!

As cooler weather approaches, we're always looking for ways to steer clear of colds and winter illnesses.  What happens if we, or (even worse) our child, gets a cold or the flu? Cold and flu medicine is riddled with all sorts of nasty chemicals that just mask the symptoms, but don't actually help our body heal.
So what do you do? 
At Sweet Bee Organics, we say, TURN TO NATURE!! We believe Mother Nature has provided all we need to stay well and if we get an illness, she is there with her bountiful gifts to get us better!! This is where the amazing powerhouse of Winter Wellness Elderberry Elixir comes into to play. 
Elderberry contains antioxidants that helps fight colds and flu while boosting your immune system. One cup (145g) of fresh elderberries contain:

• 870 mg of vitamin A.
• 406 mg of potassium.
• 52.2 mg of vitamin C.
• 9 mg of folate.
• 55 mg of calcium.
• 2.32 mg of iron.

Talk about one amazing berry!!

In Sweet Bee Organics' Winter Wellness we take the beautiful Elderberry and mix it with other immune boosting, vitamin rich organic gifts from Mother Earth. We add:

Honey- for it's antibacterial properties and it's beautiful viscosity that coats the system to prevent infection Turmeric- for it's potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. 
Ginger- The anti-inflammatory gingerols and shaogals in ginger root will help to relieve a sore throat quickly, and also kill rhinoviruses, which cause colds in the first place.
Rosemary- for its antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Rosemary is said to stimulate the circulatory system and thus is thought to encourage blood flow to the brain to relieve headaches and other body aches.
Cinnamon- for its ability to decelerate the progress of a number of bacteria and fungi, the microorganisms that frequently cause the common cold.

Elderberry-for its powerhouse packed immune supporting, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, vitamin and antioxidant rich properties.
