the story:
COMES IN A 4 OZ. BOTTLE
This one is made with several plant parts I got from the Dominican Republic side of the island of Kiskeya (DR & Haiti). The june plum leaves, cinnamon bark, ginger root, and elderberries all came from there during my most recent trip to the island this past summer. They came together with some other materials sourced in Florida to form this synergistic blend which functions as a tonic with deeply medicinal qualities.
All of the plants in this blend are mineral rich making them ideal for daily use and to support organic and systemic vitality. Elderberries are rich in vitamins A, B, C, and amino acids, with trace amounts of iron, magnesium, copper, and other nutrients. In the Dominican Republic the berries are used as one of the elements mixed in with certain other plants (like Jagua) for pigmentation and skin coloring purposes while also being regarded as particularly healing to the skin due to their vitamins A and C content. This is a property Elderberries share with June plum leaves which also contain high amounts of vitamin C and enhance the bioavailability of the iron found in Elderberries. June plum leaves are a digestive aid and accentuate the power of several others found here like Cinnamon bark, Ginger root, and Hibiscus flowers. These four are a power mix for the digestion specifically because their combined effects target the liver and thus support the natural cleansing processes of the body. Through the benefit of improving organ performance, Four Seasons Syrup boosts immunity. When the different parts of the body each get what they need, our organism as a whole works more effectively how it is supposed to which also benefits our general livelihood.
Calendula flowers and Elderberries similarly share important qualities. Not only do they induce sweating which help break feverish conditions, but they also tone and strengthen the womb so this syrup is beautifully nurturing during the menstrual portion of the moon cycle. In my personal experience, it quickly relieves cramps. The way that Elderberries support the womb also strengthen the reproductive system’s innate cleansing capacity while creating ease in the flow of information between the reproductive organs, heart, and brain. Additionally, Calendula and Elderberries are both high in antioxidants and contain compounds which clear our old cellular debris and upgrades the functional health of our cells. Ginger, a well-known panacea, aids this process, while Orange peels contain flavonoids and limonene that are reported to help lower the risk of cancer which is often an expression of cellular dysregulation.
Hibiscus and Slippery elm bark, like Calendula flowers, are mucilage-rich and coat our organs with a layer that feeds our healthy gut bacteria thus serving as prebiotic components. All three of these have an affinity for the mucus membranes such as the nasal passages, throat, digestive tract, respiratory tract, stomach, mouth, nose, and even vagina. They are known to soothe and calm inflammations, irritations, and aggravations. In Ayurveda these are known as Pitta-pacifying so are indicated for conditions that include heat and sometimes even certain kinds of resulting dampness. Hibiscus and Calendula are beneficial for heart health and have been used to lower blood pressure all while supporting the flow of blood.
Overall, Four Seasons Syrup is a potent and effective full body tonic which targets every major organ system, supports proper activity, and ensures natural vitality.
