Elderberries – Strongest natural antiviral

Elderberries – Strongest natural antiviral

Hello! Welcome to my blog truehealthytipz. Here today’s article is about the strongest natural antiviral ELDERBERRY.

Elderberry is a wild berry that comes from the elderflower that can be found around northwestern regions right around the early part of fall. if you're lucky enough to find these berries they make really wonderful immune tonics that are commonly used in syrups jams and other decoctions to support immune health and particularly are very strong antiviral medicine that makes them really great for overcoming common colds, sinus infections, allergies and other issues that can occur when the immune system becomes weak or challenged.   

Now, it is said that the elderberry goes as far back as ancient Egyptian in ancient Greek times and in fact, has been said that Hippocrates had used elderberry and was one of the number-one herbal supplements that he used with his patients. Now today we see that elderberry like I said, is most commonly used as an antiviral it is considered the strongest natural antiviral in nature and has a few other medicinal benefits that I will share with you. 

Now as I said earlier perhaps the number one benefit of elderberry is this ability to promote immune function and act as a potent antiviral so this herb is really great for actually overcoming common cold something that otherwise doesn't have a cure other than relying on our immune system to create immunity to whatever viral infection we're experiencing. However, elderberry is really unique in this ability to destroy an inhibit h1n1 and h5n1 virus infections which are the common cold viral infection so it's a very important and very unique herb for actually overcoming the common cold so while there are many things you can do to overcome common colds and promote immunity. 

Decrease your stress load so that way your body can fight off any virus. elderberry is very unique and actually targeting specific cold and flu viruses and inhibiting them from overgrowing and has even been shown in a clinical study to decrease the length and the severity of cold by 30% or more perhaps a more interesting benefit of elderberry that is not as common this ability to promote healthy skin. Elderberry is actually a potent antibacterial antifungal as well as an antiviral and many skin issues can arise from bacterial imbalances in the skin so traditionally the elderflower from the elderberry was used topically in baths and other tropical concoctions applied to the skin to treat skin infections and promote healthy skin on the other hand elderberries are very high in oxidants that help protect the skin from oxidative damage that can cause wrinkles and acne. 

So this is a great herb to take as a sort of Beauty tonic as well something else interesting about elderberry is their ability to regulate glucose metabolism. so they make our body more efficient at breaking down sugar and regulating our blood sugar response even improving insulin sensitivity so this is a unique berry or fruit that actually contains little to no sugar and can actually, on the other hand, work medicinally to improve our body's ability to handle breakdown in metabolizing sugar making it great for diabetics and anyone who is insensitive to insulin and has a sort of blood sugar imbalance. 

So if you're not sure if you have a blood sugar balance you could also look to your types of cravings if you crave sugar if you experience midday fatigue irritability these may be signs of subtle blood sugar imbalances and elderberry something that you could use naturally and holistically to help balance this issue out.

Another unique benefit of elderberry that is not commonly known is that it's actually a chemo protectant so in other words, it protects your liver from the toxic side effects of chemotherapy making it really great for people with immune issues-particularly cancer and who have gone from chemotherapy or want to protect their liver from chemotherapy either before or after depending on their situation. elderberry can inhibit ornithine decarboxylase which is the marker for cancer cell regulation.

So these are just a few of the many benefits of elderberry like I said perhaps the most beneficial attribute of this herb is that it promotes overall immune function which is going to promote our overall health as it's been said before there's really only one way to cure the body that is cure the immune system for our immune system strong enough it has a chance of fighting off any pathogens infections and imbalances that we may come in contact with so if you're interested in learning how to you elderberry for overall wellness improved immune function or for just overcoming a common cold then your best bet is going to be to make some sort of decoction out of it ideally you can turn it into a syrup that you can take regularly during cold season through the fall and winter or just during stressful times you can also take an extracted powder of this herb that way you have the standardized extract of the medicinal constituents in the herb so a really great way for taking herbs that way you're not just getting the whole herb where you're getting extracted sort of concentrated important medicine.
