Elderberry 1 oz.

Elderberry may help relieve cold and flu symptoms, but more research is needed.

What does it do:

Reduces inflammation Elderberry contains flavonoids, which may help reduce swelling, redness, and pain. 

Boosts the immune system Elderberry contains antioxidants and vitamin C, which may help fight infections.

Relieves cold and flu symptoms Elderberry may help reduce congestion and shorten the duration of cold and flu symptoms.

The approximate proportions are 1 teaspoon of dried or 2 teaspoons of fresh herbs to 1 cup of water (or 1 ounce of dry or fresh herbs to 1 quart of water). Making a decoction is the best method for brewing teas from crushed berries, seeds, roots, bark, and the woody stems of herbs.

You should always consult your healthcare provider before taking elderberry. You should also use it as directed on the package or as directed by your doctor.
