Buddha Teas Organic Herbal Elderberry Tea 18 Sachets

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.

Harvested from the indigenous Sambucus elder tree, these berries have been a source of nutrition and medicine for thousands of years. Much research has been done regarding the actual medicinal benefits of elderberries when used for common ailments and not shocking, it’s been proven to be highly effective against those nasty winter bugs and even chronic issues. Elderberry significantly boosts your system and helps support your body in doing what it does best to protect itself.

They make up the largest group of phytochemicals, and are a vital part of maintaining health as we age. Antioxidants play a huge role in anti-aging and elderberries pack the most massive punch in the ring. This berry is nothing short of miraculous on so many levels.
