You can make a remedy too.

Tis the season for colds and every other sickness under the sun.
This week we have sore throats and sniffles going through our house.
{break out the Christmas movies and coloring pages...
...because you shouldn't do school when you're sick!}

We've been using oils and elderberry syrup and a lemon balm tincture I made up over the summer...
...and how about another round of hot tea over here.

I shared a wonderful recipe for homemade elderberry syrup
over at Twin Garden Farms blog today.

The remedy is Amazing!
I've been using it for a couple years.... because my neighbor has been making it for us.
This year she gave me some elderberries and told me how to make it myself.

I feel like such a big girl now. Haha.
But seriously...make some! It works wonders....and smells great while it's simmering.

Here's to staying healthy!
