Every once in a while, an herbal remedy works so well that even the most skeptical experts sit up and take notice. Such has been the case with elderberry (Sambucus nigra). From ancient times, people have used elderberry for the immune system. This plant has a long history of traditional use backed by solid scientific evidence. With its abundant phytochemicals, many experts consider it a superfood.
The European elder tree is native to Europe, as well as parts of Asia and northern Africa. The use of this plant to make herbal remedies dates back to the fifth century B.C., when the famous Greek physician Hippocrates wrote about using the elder plant. Elderberries are rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, and iron, as well as the following powerhouse phytonutrients:
Anthocyanins, Polyphenols, Sterols, Tannins, Volatile aromatic compounds
Because of these nutrients, elderberry boasts potent antioxidant properties. You can find elderberry supplements in the form of liquid extracts, juice, syrup, and gummies, all designed to support a healthy immune system.

Everyone is unique—that’s well established by now. I think we’d all agree that each person is different, and each person’s soul is, too. And think about rocks. There are sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous—and so many types within each classification. There’s a different story behind what went into forming each one, just like the experiences we go through that shape who we are. Rocks look different, weather differently, and behave differently.
You’d be cautious, for example, climbing up a rock face of shale, because of its tendency to splinter—you wouldn’t want to lose your grip and fall to the ground. And let’s look at water: Do all the bottled water companies think their offerings are the same? No; that’s why high-end bottlers spend fortunes advertising their brands’ singular benefits. And what if you compare a glass of drinking water to the water in the toilet bowl?

If someone is experiencing regular constipation, it could be due to a variety of factors, which can cause inflammation in the small intestinal tract and colon. When there is inflammation in the intestines, it weakens peristaltic action, which is the wavelike movement created by your central nervous system that pushes food through your digestive tract.
he lining of the intestinal tract is covered in nerve endings, and some of these nerves are directly related to the peristaltic action required for proper digestion. Signals cannot be sent and received in the right way when there is inflammation in the colon, which is what prevents the peristaltic action from occurring.

People often turn to lotions and tonics to treat skin issues like wrinkles, blemishes, or under-eye circles, but these topical treatments won't offer the true healing people are after.
Although some antiviral and anticancer skin salves will support skin issues, and some creams mildly soften and moisturize the skin, these ointments only do so much.
When it comes to figuring out skin problems, including loose skin, blemishes, and liver spots, we have to assess what's going on below the epidermis (the surface layer of the skin) and heal underlying issues.

Most women are frustrated by trying to find a skincare product that works. The worst part is that often the most expensive anti-aging skincare products are the most ineffective.
One of the reasons most creams, lotions and moisturizers don’t work is because many companies churn out products without doing the proper research and development. They put traditional, but health-damaging, compounds such as parabens, carcinogens, and gasoline distillates in their skincare products and rush them out the door.
Resveratrol is very popular as a supplement and it’s also one of the main ingredients in red wine. But if you’re one of the thousands who take it orally or are attempting to have a glass of it during happy hour, you’re missing out on the distinct advantages it can offer your skin.

If you’ve ever doubted whether organic food is worth the higher price tag, a study that was recently published in JAMA Internal Medicine should put your concerns to rest. In the study, French researchers showed that people who consume organic food have a 25% lower risk of cancer.
The study, which was carried out under the guidance of epidemiologist Julia Baudry, looked at the diets of nearly 70,000 French adults with an average age in their mid-40s. The volunteers were divided into four categories according to how often they ate 16 organic products that included vegetables, fruit, fish, meat, prepared meals, condiments, dietary supplements, vegetable oils and other products.
After an average follow-up time of 4 ½ years, the researchers looked at how many of the participants had developed some type of cancer. After comparing the volunteers’ organic food scores with the cancer cases, they were able to determine that those who ate the most organic food were 25 percent less likely to develop cancer than those who did not eat organic food. When it came to specific types of cancer, the group who ate organic was 73 percent less likely to go on to develop non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and 21 percent less likely to go on to develop postmenopausal breast cancer.
