Elderberry Elixir: Immunity

A primary immune elixir for supporting health both seasonally and year round.

Large and loyal Elderberry bushes grow along the Sanctuary garden edges, first blooming with tiny, dense, fragrant white flowers.

Then in August, the flowers ripen into the dark wine-colored berries of late summer... a favorite of both pollinators and people! 

The gardeners harvest these berries and immediately fresh-tincture them. Deeply purple, those fresh, ripe Elderberries give this elixir its beautiful gem-toned color.

Prepared this way, the ripe, juicy, tartness of the Elderberry shines through, making it a particularly delicious choice for both short- and long-term immune support.

It's easy to see why it should be on everyone's herbal shelf year-round, and particularly during the cold season.

Throughout the ages, Elderberry has been a valued and respected plant, supporting general resilience and the respiratory tract.

When engaged regularly, the berries of this wonderful herb act as allies to the circulatory and immune systems.

Especially helpful for nourishing individuals who work closely with others, like teachers, students, anyone in a service profession, and healthcare providers.

When to reach for it: 

During seasonal transitions and throughout the colder winter months. A convenient addition to any winter wellness protocol.

As part of a general wellness protocol. When you, or someone you love, needs a little extra immune support.

Any time a juicy delicious "syrup" is called for.

Before and after a long day.

When traveling by car, bus, train or plane.

Elderberry Elixir Is Part Of Our Avena Tincture Collection

The Avena Tinctures are perhaps the purest & healthiest tinctures American soil has to offer.

They're based on botanicals regeneratively grown & wild-harvested on Maine's first certified Biodynamic farm.

From seed to harvest to infusion to vial, everything is done by hand.

In the Spring, our farmer-partner plants her seeds following biodynamic, regenerative and mixed polyculture principles (which go way beyond "organic"). 

She keeps the plants tightly spaced, applying minimal (organic) fertilizer and irrigation. This makes it harder and slower for the plants to grow. And that's the point. They become more potent, which you nose & skin will verify as soon as you open your jar, inhale the glory, and apply.

The humming birds, butterflies and bees love all the flora as well.

Throughout the growing season, she hand-harvests only the best parts of the plants and only at peak potency. Then she immediately infuses them for 4 - 8 weeks at low temperatures to preserve their botanical benefits. 

Finally, they're blended and packed on-site, ready to deliver the purest, most potent nutrient boosts American soil can offer.

This is what whole-plant blends were meant to be. It doesn't take long to feel the difference. 

Enjoy!
