I also used that one and Thyme hydrosol together to help clean the air and hopefully dead out some air born nasties when people where sick around here... Did it work? well, lemme say this, when the husband came home from a business trip with the flu, I sprayed the house, our bedroom (and him when he wasn't looking ROFLMAO) with the combo... no one else in the house got it.... One comment though, you kinda gotta like the smell of pizza when using this mixture ROFLMAO!!! Cheers!

Hi Sandra: Since this is an herbs list I'd like to recommend you try elderberry extract or tincture, or make elderberry tea for the flu. It is an ancient remedy, and, in fact, the Israelis patented an extract, Sambucol, and it is now the #1 OTC flu remedy. Elderberries taste great and can be made into a syrup, cordial, wine, pie, you name it. It was an old tradition to offer a glass of elderberry wine to visitors to your home. Probalby helped keep down the flu virus all around for the hosts and guests. You can make a great syrup with elderberries and ginger. Yum. I recently got two pounds of elderberries and I'm going to make up a bunch of syrup that can be diluted with water to make a refreshing drink. Kids love it.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 Thanks I think there are some in my yard I`m going to check tommorrow and pick them to make a tea with and maybe if I get some time I`ll make the syrup.
