Immune boosting elderberry syrup DIY kits now available in the shop. Etsy shop 🔗 in bio 🥰 I truly appreciate anyone who supports my small business! 💗 This is for everyone who was bummed out I didn’t ship out my elderberry syrup. I made these elderberry syrup DIY kits with 12 immune supporting organic herbs so that you can make your own elderberry syrup at home! It’s so easy! No need to overbuy herbs or spend time researching for the best recipe. Simply boil in water and add honey, maple syrup, or agave. See my Elderberry syrup DIY kit pinned post on IG for info on each one of the immune supporting organic herbs that were chosen. Follow for more @bella.and.melly 💕 There’s more to come in the shop. Stay tuned! 😁 Please like, comment, share, save! Thank you all! 🥰 ✨To make elderberry syrup: To a stock pot, add in 4 cups filtered water and the entire contents of pouch. Bring to a boil. Once boiling bring down to a simmer and simmer covered for 30 minutes to I hour. Then turn off the heat and let it cool a bit then strain the elderberry tea into a bowl and from that strained bowl pour into mason jar and add in 1/2 cup of raw honey and the juice of half a lemon (optional) and mix. Note: One kit + 4 cups water makes 2 mason jars and one kit + 6 cups water makes 3 mason jars of syrup. I don’t recommend using more than 6 cups water because we want the syrup to be concentrated to be effective. Can also make a daily tea. Steep I tbsp. in hot water for at least 30 min, strain + enjoy! ✨Directions for use: Take I tsp. 3xs per day, daily as a preventative especially during “flu season” If you feel a cold coming on or already have a cold, take I tbsp. 3xs per day or I tbsp. every 3-4 hours. For children over I year old, take I-2 tsp daily. Shake well and refrigerate for up to 3 months. #elderberrysyrup#homemade#homemadeelderberrysyrup#holistic#naturalmom#crunchymama#byebyebigpharma#naturalmedicine#herbalmedicine#natural#immunitybooster#momlife#sahm#fluseason#immunesupport#etsyshop#elderberrysyrupdiykit#supportsmallbusiness

Weight loss herbal infusion: ✨Hibiscus For Weight Loss: Hibiscus blocks amylase, an enzume that breaks down starches into sugars which reduces the amount of sugars absorbed into the body, promoting weight loss. Hibiscus also reduces belly fat and hinders fat accumulation, which helps lose fat around the waist. ✨Bay leaf Benefits Aids in digestion + relieves bloating. ✨Ceylon Cinnamon For Weight Loss: It helps to suppress hunger, accelerate metabolism, and keep you full for longer. It also prevents bloating. Cinnamon also helps to metabolize sugar better, reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes. Cinnamon + bay leaf tea is a natural weight-loss tea. Cinnamon has been shown to produce strong anti-obesity effects in animal studies. According to a study in 2017, cinnamon activates thermogenic and metabolic responses in mouse and humans. And another study from 2020 found that cinnamon supplementation significantly affects obesity measures based on its positive impact on reducing body weight, body mass index, waist circumference, and fat mass in adults. DM me if you would like the link to the studies. ✨Dandelion Leaf For Weight Loss: Several studies have shown that dandelion has potent antioxidant, anti-obesity, and anti-inflammatory properties. Rich in fiber, dandelion hinders the absorption of fat molecules. It also enhances digestion + fat metabolism and facilitates the elimination of fatty acids. ✨Ginger For Weight Loss: The active ingredient in ginger is gingerols, which helps with weight loss. It inhibits fat absorption, facilitates the breakdown of fat cells, boosts metabolism, and curbs excessive hunger. Ginger is effective for reducing belly fat. This is because it acts as a cortisol suppressant. Cortisol is a steroid hormone that helps to regulate energy and mobilization in the body. Chronic stress causes a spike in cortisol levels, which contributes to belly fat. Consuming ginger regularly keeps cortisol levels down and prevents the accumulation of belly fat. Ginger tea is an excellent digestive aid too. Drink a cup half an hour after your meals for better digestion. ✨Follow on I G for more recipes, clean swaps, holistic health, toddler activities, homeschool, motherhood + more! @bella.and.melly 💕 Starwest Botanicals 🔗 in bio.
