Elderberry
|
BENEFICIAL Elderberry is a wonderful berry that is great for allaying a cough or cold during the flu season. First sign of a sniffle I try elderberry syrup called Sambu©. It is alkaline producing. It might be wise to stop this two weeks before any surgery as it is high in vitamin C and high doses of vitamin C can cause bleeding tendencies. Elderberry was researched by an Israeli herbalist and found to be the one food that actually exerts an anti-viral influence. In Virginia elderberry grows in abundance, friends have made elderberry jam and elderberry wine. Folklore says where an elderberry tree grows, the family will have long life.
