Echinacea, Elderflower & Elderberry - Important Covid-19 Info

Submitted by Pam on Sun, 03/29/2020 - 11:41

I am writing this in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic that's hitting the world hard.  We have received some conflicting information as to whether Echinacea, Elderflower (which we use in our Cold & Flu Tincture), and Elderberry are safe and appropriate for viral infections, namely the Covid-19 infection.  There has been some conjecture as to whether Covid-19 could cause a "cytokine storm" which means an over-response by the immune system.  As this virus is so new, not much is known about it yet and whether this is true or not.  Some have expressed concern that these herbs might further stimulate the immune system and cause an over-reaction, making a cytokine storm worse.  After doing some exhaustive research, I have new and interesting information for you on this.  These are my findings:

Testimonial

I just wanted to share that we have found the Goodnight Tincture highly effective for episodes of OCD (intrusive thoughts and anxiety), providing relief within 15-20 minutes.  And of course, it works really well for falling and staying asleep!   We do use it during the day when there are symptoms of intrusive thoughts and anxiety and it doesn’t cause sleepiness then.  Maybe the brain is just SO overactive during those episodes that the calming effect is only one of normalizing, not sleep-inducing.  The symptoms of OCD are very painful, so I am amazed and grateful that this works so incredibly well.  We can never be without it!  Thank you for providing this product!  MK
