Elderberries have been associated with effective immune support, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties especially during cold and flu season. Apple cider vinegar and raw honey aid in clearing the sinuses and easing coughs in addition to many other health benefits.
Elderberry syrup has been revered for its healing properties spanning civilizations and centuries. From ancient Egypt and Greece to medieval Europe and modern America, its use is steeped in folklore and natural healing practices as an “oxymel-remedy,” and became a popular health aid for vaious ailments like colds, flu, and respiratory infections.
Oxymel, a term derived from the Greek words “oxy” (acid) and “meli” (honey) refers to a concoction made by blending vinegar and honey. This ancient preparation traces its origins back to the time of Hippocrates, the renowned physician often hailed as the “father of medicine.” Hippocrates prescribed oxymel for a range of health issues, recognizing its soothing properties in addressing coughs, sore throats, and digestive complaints.
Incorporating elderberries into the honey and vineger oxymel-syrup enriches it with a wealth of antioxidants and immune-boosting compounds. These potent additions are believed to elevate the syrup’s effectiveness, making it a natural powerhouse for supporting overall health and wellness.
In recent years, Elderberry syrup has grown in both popularity and acceptance among many researchers as an effective medicinal aid.
