(also known as sheep sorrel and botanically called Field Sorrel herb Rumex acetosella) is known in the plant medicine world for its anti-inflammatory6 action.

(botanically called Elder FlowerSambucus nigra). An elder flower infusion is known to be very effective in the treatment of chest complaints and acts as an expectorant7. It relieves asthmatic symptoms and spurious croup8 in children. Traditionally elder flower has been used in the management of swollen sinuses, coughs and upper respiratory cold infections, bronchitis, hoarseness, shortness of breath and general flu symptoms.9 European folk medicine has employed the elderflower as an antiviral, and traditional Chinese medicine documented a related species, Sambucus williamsii, as an anti-inflammatory.
Recent studies have indeed identified evidence of the Elder Flower’s efficacy as an antiviral. In 1995, researchers Zakay-Rones et al. conducted a placebo-controlled study using the extract during an outbreak of influenza B in a small community in Panama – the results were dramatic. Over 90% of the group treated with Elder extract, showed significant improvement of symptoms within 2 days, compared with 16.7% of controls. Since that initial study, several laboratory studies have supported the plants’ anti-influenza efficacy against both A and B human influenza viruses.
In a study of Norwegian patients with flu-like symptoms, those given Elder Flower’s extract recovered four days sooner than those given a placebo.10

It provides the body the required antioxidants21 and nutrients to combat these issues.
