Elderberry Syrup Kits
Elderberries are a powerhouse when it comes to boosting/strengthening our immune health through the winter months. We lean on this blend daily through the fall/winter and cold/flu season. In this Syrup making kit, elderberries are paired with some powerful immune-boosting, lymph-loving botanicals like Calendula, Reishi mushroom, Chaga, Juniper Berries, Cinnamon, Ginger, and locally wild-harvested Usnea lichen and wild Rosehips.
