Happy Monday!! We are right in the middle of Flu Season so it is only right that I begin talking about ways to boost your immune system. This has honestly been one of the worse seasons I have seen with tons of Tamiflu being prescribed. So many patients have literally yelled at me in a panic since the medication became scarce and we had to compound the formulation. The truth is there is a natural way to fight the flu. Let me introduce you to one of my favorite herbs, Elberberry. Elderberry is a flower and berry with anti-viral properties used for centuries to fight the flu and other sinus infections. There are randomized, and double blinded placebo controlled studies that have shown elderberry superior in reducing the symptoms of the flu (clink on links below for more). Before entering the pharmacy for work, I place the supplement in my tea or water and drink at least 3 times a week. I am always exposed to those that are very sick and suffering from viruses and infection. It is very important that my immune system is always strong. I think of my immune system as a wall of very strong soldiers and viruses and infection trying to break my wall down. If I fortify my system with reinforcements the less likely my wall will come down. I have used elderberry for the past 7 years during flu season and have not contracted the virus at all. Elderberry is safe for use in children as well. Make sure to use the alcohol-free formulation, especially when using in children.
