Herbal Elixir: Elder Rose Immune Boosting and Heart Happy Oxymel

I'm always so thankful to have this on hand when I feel like any of us are coming down with a bug. It feels like we get less sick and it doesn't last long at all when I catch it early and dose all of us up on this and Fire Oxymel!

Me an my son drink this when we start to feel under the weather. I do have to mix it with something because it has a strong flavor to it but overall i will say we have felt so much better taking it for sure

This stuff is just GREAT! I love drinking it when I am feeling a little under the weather. It is also good for mixing with the tinctures to give them a different flavor.

I had a sore throat come out of nowhere yesterday and my body felt more drained than normal. I hadn't drank enough the past few hrs and baby was nursing more than usual due to teething, so I downed a few cups of NORA tea and water. I didn't feel better afterward like I normally do and I don't usually get a sore throat from just being dehydrated so it kind of concerned me. Then I remembered that I had some Manuka honey and Bumble Elder Rose elixir on hand!

I put a teaspoon of Manuka honey in my mouth and ate it slowly while reading usage directions for the elixir on Bumble's website. I mentally cheered when the bottle opened easily (the organic elderberry syrup we used to get from the grocery store was super hard to open) and poured a little onto a deep spoon. I'm not great at pouring things (even back when I was a server 🙈) and got some on the countertop. Then I tasted it- yum! I love elderberry, rose, apple cider vinegar, and honey flavor combo, and the ginger, cinnamon, and cloves make it even better! I immediately felt much more awake, energetic, and much less mentally foggy. The tops of my dry hands felt better too after I wiped the counter off with them. 😄

So thankful that Bumble offers this awesome immune boosting elixir! It's definitely something I plan on having on hand for when I feel like I'm coming down with something. Thank you, Emily for all your hard work! 🥰

A couple days after my package containing this bottle came, my right lymph node was so swollen that it was uncomfortable to swallow. I took two 30 mL (~1 oz) doses: one that night, and another the next day. After that, my lymph node went back to normal. I'm positive I dodged a sickness bullet with this magical elixir. The ACV burns my throat a little going down, but it's well worth the healing it brings, and I'm sure there are many who wouldn't mind the burn.
