Immune Supporting Elderberry Gummies

IMMUNE SUPPORTING ELDERBERRY GUMMIES

FOOD AS MEDICINE

Elderberry based medications are thought to date back to Ancient Egypt and this potent plant was described by Hippocrates as a “medicine chest” because of the wide range of conditions it seemed to benefit. Elderberry is one of the top antiviral herbs on the planet and can aid in symptom reduction for colds and flu as well as nerve pain, inflammation, allergies and sinus issues. Elderberries are also higher in flavonoids than blueberries, cranberries, blackberries and goji berries. The addition of vitamin C from the lemon and orange help to fight infection as well and the gelatin in this recipe is very therapeutic for the lining of the gut.

1/2 cup water

2 Tbsp grassfed gelatin

3/4 cup fresh squeezed orange juice

3 Tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
