Echinacea, Elderflower & Elderberry - Important Covid-19 Info

Submitted by Pam on Sun, 03/29/2020 - 11:41

I am writing this in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic that's hitting the world hard.  We have received some conflicting information as to whether Echinacea, Elderflower (which we use in our Cold & Flu Tincture), and Elderberry are safe and appropriate for viral infections, namely the Covid-19 infection.  There has been some conjecture as to whether Covid-19 could cause a "cytokine storm" which means an over-response by the immune system.  As this virus is so new, not much is known about it yet and whether this is true or not.  Some have expressed concern that these herbs might further stimulate the immune system and cause an over-reaction, making a cytokine storm worse.  After doing some exhaustive research, I have new and interesting information for you on this.  These are my findings:

Testimonial

We've used your Cold Comfort Tincture and your Quiet Cough Tincture every winter. The boys rarely get sick, sometimes they even skip a year, but when they do I know that if I have your product on hand we will be well before morning!  We always have your product on hand!  The Quiet Cough is simply magical - it has helped me put the boys to sleep and catch some uninterrupted sleep myself. So very grateful for you!  DG
