The flu virus seems to be coming up again and again in the media and in my friends and neighbors so I thought it would be good to share some information with you regarding an herbal remedy that is well-known for flu treatment: Elderberry.  The link below takes you to an interesting article that discusses research from Israel that explores the power of this (somewhat) tasty berry.  Elderberry preparations (in the form of “Sambucol”, an elderberry tincture) were found to be effective against human, avian, and swine flu and in most cases reduced the duration of the flu by 4 days.

Marilyn Farms offers our own elderberry preparation (click here to view) which is available as a standard extract, or a great tasting glycerin syrup.  And, best of all, it’s now on sale!  The recommended dosage at onset of the flu is 1 teaspoon–1 tablespoon (5–15 ml) for children and 2 teaspoons–2 tablespoons (10–30 ml) for adults, taken twice daily.
