It’s that time friends! They are kid approved and ready to go!
My girls and I are celebrating our FOURTH year of serving our community!
What’s in my Organic Elderberry Juice, and why is it so good for you?
There’s a LOT to know!
Here’s how the ingredients stack up 🌿
💧Charcoal Filtered Water:
I use a Berkey System which is a method of filtration using active carbon to purify water from contaminants and impurities.
Active charcoal carbon filters are most effective at removing chlorine, particles such as sediment, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), taste and odor from water. I also have fluoride filters to filter out the fluoride in our water.
If you’re a big water drinker, you can appreciate this!
🍇Organic Elderberries:
Sourced locally from The Natural Path in Youngsville, Louisiana (where I’m from)!
Elderberries are referred to as one of the top antiviral herbs known to man. Elderberry is most popular for it’s immune boosting properties, and is a favorite when treating colds and the flu virus.
These tiny super berries have high concentrations of bioflavonoids which play a big role in beating a virus. Viruses are unable to multiply on their own, and need healthy cells to attach to. Viruses are coated with “spikes” that are covered in enzymes, and these enzymes are what break down healthy cell walls. Bioflabinoids inhibit the action of those enzymes, which deactivates the virus and prevents it from further multiplying.
Elderberries are amazing for immune support, anti-inflammatory, allergies, digestive health, urinary tract health/blatter infections, and of course, beating out H1N1 (the flu!)
🌹Organic Rosehips:
A fruit of the Rose plant. Rosehips pack a full list of benefits, but known mostly for their super high Vitamin C content. This fruit actually contains 60 TIMES more vitamin C than an orange! Vitamin C is especially important during cold and flu season as it acts as an antioxidant. Antioxidants block free radicals in the body, and reduce the risk of infections.
🍯Local Raw Unfiltered Honey:
Honey is also an antioxidant powerhouse! We know honey is great for soothing coughs and colds. It’s good in tea, and on a warm biscuit, but did you also know that honey is a natural antiviral, and anti-inflammatory?
Raw honey is important when used for healing because unlike commercial processed honey, it’s packaged in a way to not deplete it’s nutrients. Local honey is also beneficial because it contains bee pollen. When consuming local, raw honey, you’re also consuming the bee pollen. By doing this, over time it strengthens your immune system against the very pollen that causes the allergy. This is also why it is important to consume your honey locally, because not all pollen and the allergies that come with it are the same.
🌱Organic Ginger:
Great for treating nausea and vomiting it also is an anti-inflammatory. It can settle an uneasy stomach, and relieve muscle pain. All wonderful benefits when you catch a nasty cold or the flu!
🌱Organic Cinnamon:
Cinnamon is one of the most delicious and healthiest spices on the planet. It is loaded with antioxidants and is also anti-inflammatory. It has also been known to help fight bacterial and fungal infections. It can lower blood sugar levels, reduce heart disease risk factors and has a plethora of other impressive health benefits.
🌱Organic Clove:
Cloves contain fiber, vitamins and minerals, so using whole or ground cloves to add flavor to your food can provide some important nutrients. Cloves have been shown to have antimicrobial properties, meaning they can help stop the growth of microorganisms like bacteria. Cloves help promote liver health, regulate blood sugar, and promote bone health.
🍋Organic Lemon and 🍊Orange:
These fruits are some of the richest sources of vitamin C, which is an antioxidant and detoxifying agent that destroys or neutralizes the free radicals in our body, thus boosting our immune system. One of the main functions of antioxidants is to prevent cancer and maintain the blood sugar levels, which in turns manages cholesterol level and improve cardiovascular health. It also improves our blood circulation and prevents kidney stones. These fruits also give this tasty juice a kick of citrus, but is also a natural preservative, preserving color, flavor and taste.
Phew! That’s a lot of info, but I am always looking to help!
