About Elderberry Tincture with Raw Honey

The first batch of Elderberry Tincture is finally drunk enough to offer to the public!!!
We took dried organic Elderberries, coated them in raw honey from Ashland, Ohio, and then added 100 proof vodka.  This mixture was shaken and loved every day for 6 weeks.  Many don't add honey to their tincture, but we figured it would be a nice addition since honey is naturally antibiotic, antiviral and antiseptic!

The tincture can be taken daily as a preventative (I do this if those around me are sick) or can be used as a treatment at the first sign of any illness.  Not only do the compounds in the elderberries prevent viruses (like the flu) from attaching and spreading, but they also beef up our own immune systems to allow our bodies to better fight off illnesses on their own.

Taken daily as a preventative, only 20 drops (or about 1/2 of a dropper-full) is needed.  It can be added to any liquid or can be taken neat (straight).  At the first sign of illness, to ramp up the immune system and to prevent the spread of illness, take the same dosage, but increase to 3 to 4 times daily.

Multiple studies have shown elderberries to be twice as effective as tamiflu at shortening the severity and duration of the flu.  With a tamiflu shot running around $125.00 and not being covered by many insurance plans (mine doesn't cover a penny of it!), this tincture is an affordable and extremely effective way to beat the flu.  In fact, elderberries have proven effective against the ebola virus in preliminary studies.

It's a true cure-all that our ancestors have known about and used for ages.  It's about time that we get back to our roots and stop turning to synthetic medicines at every sneeze and sniffle!

Our 1 oz. bottles contain approximately 600 drops, so that would equate to 30 doses... double that number for the 2 oz. bottle.  There is a discount if you purchase the larger bottle, too.
In my experience, I have only had to take this tincture around 3 times per day for 2 to 3 days to feel completely better if I actually come down with a cold or flu-type illness.  That's only $2.10 - $3.60 to treat a cold or flu episode, depending on the size bottle you buy and whether you need to take it for 2 or 3 days.  2 or 3 bucks versus a $125 tamiflu shot that may or may not even work in the first place?????  Seems like a no-brainer to me!
