Respect Your Elders!

September is an ideal time to forage and benefit from natural remedies

September’s bumper-packed edition of Herbs With Barbara brought us Elderberries and medicinal compound in the form of Damson Gin!

Elderberries are naturally antiviral and can be beneficial for a number of conditions – especially for colds and flu.

You can make a lovely sweet-tasting syrup, an ideal cough medicine or daily pick-me-up.

Meanwhile, the branches of the Elder bush can be used for all sorts of craft ideas, even musical instruments!

But never just take from nature.  Always ask first!

Be inspired and listen again to this month’s edition of Herbs With Barbara!
