DIY: Elderberry Syrup

Here is a short video we made in late March while in quarantine to show everyone how easy (and economical) it is to make your own Elderberry Syrup at home.

We hope to do more of these little videos until we can hold the in-person workshops again.

The FACTS about Elderberry and COVID-19

Dispelling the Rumors...

The panic about Elderberry and how it relates to cytokine storms has been taken out of context from one bit of information, condensed and then put out there as 'fact' or 'research'. In this day of viral misinformation, things were made worse when not only the herb enthusiasts shared this information without knowing the facts, but also a portion of our medical community as well. While well intended, these people have spread information that is simply not factual and as a result, has created massive and unnecessary confusion.

Gaia Herbs, a well-respected herbal organization with a focus on clinical education, has an article that can shed some light on the confusion.
