Several years ago a very bright person told me about Sambucol ( or Sambucus, black elderberry), an immune booster syrup with earned bragging rights. Especially helpful during the cold and flu months, it can be given as a daily supplement or just when exposure to sickness or the beginnings of an ailment in any form have struck you or anyone in your nest.Real life scenario: Rose came down with a bug last week, the same one that has been spreading around this area: head and body aches, low fever, fatigue. I immediately began to dose Charlotte and myself spoonfuls twice a day and we stayed well. Sometimes it might mean a less severe case of a sickness and a shorter recoup time. It's efficacy has been proven in my home more times than can be counted. I am one of its cheerleaders for life!

Never heard of that. Where do you get it? At a whole foods/health store?
Something I do that I heard is supposed to work just as well as cough syrup is dark buckwheat honey. We keep some in the pantry and I have a big tablespoon in my tea at night when my throat feels dry. Never really tried it with a cold yet. Thankfully I've haven't had one since last fall.
It's kind of fun to swap tips!
I'm assuming health food store? I usually don't take anything and then I get really sick and whiney and then I finally take something that will make me sleep all night like Nyquil. But it never feels good. Maybe I'll give your stuff a try next time.
Yes, you can buy this at health food stores or vitamin shops.There might be different brands and the only thing I have noticed in the different brands is the taste. I order mine from Swanson's,I found they have the best price.
