I cannot say enough good things about elderberry syrup for boosting the immune system. I learned about it during flu season and Lila & I took it daily to help our immune systems. Since then, if I've ever suspected any of us were getting sick I up the dosage (2-3tbsp) for a few days and it WORKS! A few weeks ago, Lila had a runny nose (clear, but still runny) so I gave her some elderberry for a few days and she never got sick. My Mom was visiting and was sneezing & had a runny nose. She took elderberry 2x that day and the next day she was perfectly fine! This past Friday, I was feeling under the weather... throat/ear pain & just rundown. I took 3tbsp during the day on Friday and 1tbsp on Sat and by Sat afternoon I was feeling perfect... never got sick. I swear by this stuff! I can give it to Lucy now too (by syringe or spoon). Here are the brands that I buy:
For adults: Gaia Herbs Black Elderberry http://www.vitacost.com/Gaia-Herbs-Rapid-Relief-Black-Elderberry-Syrup
For kids: Nature's Way Sambucus http://www.vitacost.com/Natures-Way-Sambucus-For-Kids
I highly recommend Elderberry for a great immune system & an immune system booster! You can google it and find tons of info on how great it is for the immune system!

Do you mix the syrup into water or juice? Or do you just take a shot of it, kind of like Tylenol?
ReplyDeleteI give Lila a spoonful and if I were to give it to Lucy (haven't had to yet :)) I would probably use a syringe.
ReplyDeleteJust gave some to Ryan yesterday and used the syringe. It is messy cause its so dark so be prepared:)
