Winter Wellness - Elderberry

Winter wellness is a balancing act of trying to stay active during the limited daylight hours, rain, cold and snow, while eating nourishing in-season root veggies and citrus and avoiding the cold and flu bugs being passed around! We could all use a little extra immune support, and although there’s no universal remedy for preventing or getting through an illness, supporters of elderberry say the fruit and its flowers are one of nature’s more versatile solutions.
