What’s the big deal about elderberry?
As far back as 2000 BC, the elderberry has been used for a variety of health needs.
During the Roman Empire it was used as a blood purifier and spring detoxifier. Native Americans used the berries and their flowers for many uses such as colic, mastitis, and arthritis.
Although commonly known as a flu remedy, its main role is to balance the body and support its normal function.

How a daily dose of elderberry helps my family
My daughter and I began taking a daily dose of Earthley’s elderberry elixir in January. Until I ran out four weeks ago, we made it through this past week without catching the flu or any colds.
I was waiting to place a large order this week and have learned my lesson: NEVER RUN OUT!!! We felt fine for the first few weeks without, but then caught a bug this past weekend. You better believe that I will be stocking up with this sale!!!
Besides not catching any bugs, when combined with Feel Better Fast, we no longer needed our daily allergy pills.
What’s the elderberry challenge?
The challenge is to take a daily dose of an elderberry elixir now through April to experience the health benefits of it.
We are excited to see if taking a daily dose, starting next week through April, will help us avoid the winter crud!
