Be careful

Magic Happens 

Walking home the other day I came across some elderberries. I was surprised to see that they are already turning black. So now is the time to pick them to make some juice for the winter. It is not only delicious as a hot drink on a cold winter evening, it also has the power to ward off any colds. It is very effective against any viruses so no need to be afraid this winter. Just have a hot elderberry drink with some honey in it and your cold will disappear like magic.

But please note that you should not use the elderberries when they are raw. Make sure that you cook them to extract the juice. Boiled up with some sugar and put in sterilized bottles it will keep well for at least 6 months but should be regularly checked. 

Elderberries are not only a super food there is also a Homoeopathic remedy made from them which is called Sambucus nigra. 

I think all of us have experienced the situation where you have a cold and want to go to bed. You feel tired and you might even have a headache. Sleep is the best medicine in this situation and all you want to do is go to bed. Lying down feels good and you are really tired and ready to go to sleep but you cannot breathe through your nose. So that was the end of a restful and healing night. Here is where the homoeopathic remedy Sambucus nigra might help. I've tried it myself many times with good results and restful nights.

But the remedy can be of more assistance, particularly with breathing problems where symptoms match, because don't forget that Homoeopathy is a very individual medicine which treats the whole person. In Homoeopathy everything is taken into account, not only the symptoms. The mental-emotional state of a person is as important as the physical state. A lot more information is needed about the person, the childhood of the person and the medical history of the family as well to find the right remedy. We are also interested in the potential cause of the symptoms and what happened at the time the symptoms showed up first. So it is not an easy way to find the right remedy, you have to know what you are doing. Getting back to health is also a process so treatment might take some time and in little steps. Contact me on 07813 195468 if you want to know a bit more about Homoeopathy and how it might help you. Looking forward to hearing from you and in the meantime enjoy making elderberry juice and drinking it.
