What is Elderberry?
Elderberries are a powerhouse, body boosting fruit of the Sambucus tree, which is actually more like a bush than a tree. These tiny berries pack a massive punch against bugs threatening the immune system. Native Americans have used Elderberry, both the flowers and the berries, for centuries to ward off sicknesses when the body needs a fighter in its corner. Like the people behind Buddha Teas, Native Americans were opposed to wastefulness and used the rest of the tree for musical instruments, dye, and arrow shafts. Years later, research has led scientists to realize that these berries have a tremendously beneficial impact on people who are feeling ill or fatigued. In order to understand the power behind the berry, you’ll have to gain a little insight into the world of Botany. So, let’s explore.
Is Elderberry safe for kids?
Yes. A lot of people will brew the tea and give a small amount to their children if they’re feeling under the weather. There are various and many Elderberry products on the market such as syrups and gummies for both adults and children. However, we strongly advise you to check how many milligrams is in a product, as it is so important to the efficacy. Most other products range somewhere between 40-100 milligrams per dose. If you chose to buy Elderberry Tea from Buddha Teas, rest assured it is pure and offers 2000 milligrams of organic Elderberry in each bag so you’re getting a potent and effective dose of the stuff that both we and our kids need to fight these winter bugs.
