How To Make Your Own Natural Cough Syrup

Treating Coughs with Elder:
Few things make me more sad than watching one of my little ones cough uncontrollably and feeling like I can’t do anything to help. This was a familiar feeling several years ago, but now, I’m grateful to say that I’ve found a great natural remedy that helps get the coughing under control.
Meet Elder, a powerful healing plant, with a variety of uses.

Detoxifier:
Elder is known for cleansing the body, so it is commonly used as a natural detoxifier. For this use, elder flowers are brewed into a tea to be taken a few times a day for a limited period of time.
These brewed flowers aid kidney function by relieving fluid retention and cleansing toxins. Elder stimulates the circulation, causing sweating, effectively cleansing the body. It quickly increases the activity of body systems and increases overall energy. One side-effect of this property is weight loss.

Soother
In addition to providing relief to the respiratory system, elder also promotes a feeling of well-being. Taken before bed, elder flower tea promotes peaceful sleep and relaxes and soothes the nerves. Elder has also been known to relieve anxiety and lift depression.

Respiratory Aid:
If you’ve ever taken a natural cough syrup, it has no doubt contained elderberry as a main ingredient. Elder flowers relax bronchial spasms, making them very useful for treating upper respiratory infections. Fresh elderberries, combined with plantain, make an effective cough syrup.
