Alternative Flu Remedies Elderberry, Echinacea and Zinc

Ancient Herbal Flu Remedy
Expect a brief slow-down in blog postings this week. As usual, I have managed to quickly catch the first round of flu in my area. Since flu shots were not available this year, I have stocked up on alternative cold and flu remedies. Most are based on some combination of elderberry, echinacea and zinc.

These alternative flu medicines come in a variety of forms such as elderberry capsules, elderberry syrups and elderberry lozenges. Heck, you can even find sugar-free elderberry syrup!

Of course, my Dad's elderberry wine provides the most enjoyable form. Dad started making elderberry wine in 1967 and it has been a local favorite since then. Anyone unfamiliar with the benefits of elderberry for improving health should check out our elderberry page at NuyakaCreek.com.
