Elderflower Tea for the Winter Season

Natural Remedies for the Winter Season.

The flower form of the elder plant (Sambucus nigra) can induce sweating, which may help reduce fever.

How to use: Look for elder in cold formulas. To make a tea, pour boiling water over a teaspoon of dried elderflower. Set your Zen Timer with Bowl/Gong for 10-15 minutes.  Steep 10 to 15 minutes, then strain. Drink up to three cups per day. Or make a tea that combines elder, echinacea, and a pinch of peppermint.
