Hi, I'm Michele. I have my Masters Degree in Social Work from LSU, and I currently work in school based social work around BR. I have followed the advice and recommendations of Anthony William and Muneeza-Medical Intuitive for years and have learned a lot about health and nutrition that I would love to share. In my family I have always had a desire to nurture our bodies with natural remedies. I enjoy all things health related and I like learning how to make healthy dishes and herbal remedies to share with others. I started making Elderberry Syrup for my family years ago when I learned some ingredients from store bought syrup contained artificial additives and preservatives, less elderberries, and not to mention how costly it was. I wanted my family to have high quality, organic ingredients for their elderberry. Soon friends started requesting that I share my syrup with them and gave me the idea to sell what I had left over so that others could reap the same benefits 😊. My family takes it year round and helps to keep our immune system strong. I have played around with the recipe and I think I finally have one that I’m happy with! I hope that you enjoy my syrup as much as we do!
Elderberries contain special proteins and bioflavonoids with natural antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties which naturally helps reduce swelling, fight inflammation. The berry also contains antioxidants, vitamins A, B and a large amount of vitamin C which all help boost the immune system. Elderberries also contain natural antihistamines and antioxidants which makes them beneficial for those with bronchial and respiratory problems and can help loosen and expel congestion in the lungs.
My Elderberry Syrup recipe is adapted from Medical Medium and is clean, simple and healing with no preservatives or additives you might find in some store bought brands.
