It’s that time of year to make some fresh Elderberry Syrup! I always make a few batches to keep in the fridge for the winter months to have on hand when needed.

We all know the dreaded feeling when we sense ourselves coming down with something. While there’s nothing that can replace good sleep hygiene and a balanced diet to help your body maintain a healthy immune system, herbs can help give it a boost. A large clinical study in 2015 showed that a combination of echinacea and elderberry is as effective as the conventional antiviral medicine Tamiflu in the early treatment of influenza. At the end of the study, it was shown that the two treatments were nearly statistically identical, with a trend towards a higher recovery in patients receiving the herbal remedy. Early treatment is vital with any cold or flu treatment, so remember that Mother Nature has provided so many beautiful gifts to help keep your body supported all season long.

Tradition Not Trademark

Great news! After a long battle, the term “fire cider” can once again be used freely by herbalists and all who make any type of Fire Cider for their health and wellbeing.

FIRE. CIDER. IS. GENERIC.
Newsletter attached with full update!!!!
The "Fire Cider 3", Kathi Langelier of Herbal Revolution (ME), Mary Blue of Farmacy Herbs (RI) and Nicole Telkes of Wildflower School of Botanical Medicine, (TX) have had their day in court!! The trial lasted 9 days and was a huge effort by many involved!! Judge Mastroianni of United States District Court of the district of Massachusetts has determined in a 40-page decision that fire cider is a generic term!!
Their trial started during the Spring Equinox with the moon in Libra and we ended with the Fall Equinox with the Sun in Libra… LIBRA is JUSTICE!!!

Reishi mushrooms have an impressive list of herbal actions:

* Immune tonic
* Immunomodulator
* Antiviral
* Antibacterial
* Adaptogen
* Anti-inflammatory
* Antioxidant
* Anti-anxiety
* Cardiotonic
* Hepatic

Known as the ‘mushroom of immortality’, reishi strengthens the circulatory system and is a legendary adaptogen, making it a supreme ally for increasing overall resilience. 🍄
Taken regularly, it can enhance and fine-tune the body’s immune response. It’s especially helpful as a daily remedy for those who have weak lungs or who frequently succumb to respiratory infections. 🌟
