Although it is technically still summer, the weather here in Northern California seems very fall like. MountainsideGoods is busy with Apple Hill season, and processing all of the goods from the homestead. I had the feeling a little cold was trying to take over my life, so i decided it was Elderberry Syrup time! Elderberry is know to fend off flu viruses, boost your immune system, and is a great expectorant. This little berry is full of vitamin C, and contains high amounts of flavonoids called anthocyanins, which are very strong anti-oxidants. Studies show that people that use Elderberry, their symptoms are gone in 2-3 days. Many people take Elderberry syrup daily to maintain health.
I know that I feel much better today!
