I wish I knew you better
I wish I could make love to you
Most tenderly and sweet.
But sadly though,
My pulse has quickened
My thoughts; exploding in a storm.
I am a shell of my zen self,
No patience...I don't know you.
The winter season is coming to a close so perhaps this may be of some use to folks for the next cold season. Some time ago I wrote of my interest in herbs and their medicinal benefits. I have since made the mentioned before mouth herbal mixture (more on that later) and a few variations of creams. This post here is of course on the most yummy syrup I've come across. Seriously I think I wouldn't mind drinking it daily! The elderberry has been used to support the immune system for ages. Some of its folk uses included improving the immune system, fighting coughs, colds, flus and various bacterial and viral infections. Bioflavonoids in the juice destroy the ability of cold and flu viruses to infect a cell. So basically if you take it quick enough you may stop your cold in its tracks all together or will greatly reduce the offensive symptoms of one. If this all sounds too good to be true...it's not. By my word it actually did just that for me last week. I began to develop a sore throat after my son had a minor cold and I made this batch of the syrup real quick. In 3 days I was back to 100% while never having a new symptom of the cold. There have been various studies on the elderberry juice so feel free to read up on those! I did find in one source that it was used to treat the flu pandemic in Panama in 1995.
