ซัมบูคัส ฟลูรีลีฟ** เอลเดอร์เบอร์รี่ไซรัป

Started feeling that familiar ache behind my eyes Monday night and took a spoonful of this before bed. By morning my fever had broken and the aches were mostly gone. The syrup itself is thick and a little tart, but it goes down easy enough.

The sore throat and chills hit me Sunday night, so I started taking a spoonful of this every few hours and by Tuesday I could actually swallow without wincing. The berry taste is strong enough to cover the medicinal thing going on underneath.

Two days into a scratchy throat and chills, I started taking this and by the next morning the aches and fever had eased up enough to get out of bed. The dropper makes dosing simple when you're too wiped out to measure anything, and it actually tastes like elderberry instead of medicine.
