PLANT WISDOM | ELDERBERRY

We are listening so carefully to our plant kingdom ancestors right now. In these continually scary times the plants bring us so much wisdom and solace. They show us what abundance looks like on an earth in full crises. This week that wisdom has come particularly from our great elder Sambucus canadensis our native ELDERBERRY. Growing wild in open fields and along the edge of the forest, elderberry made into a syrup is especially good for our respiratory system. And we know we’re going to need all the support we can get in that department this fall and winter. When we listen, the earth offers up loving support and wisdom all around us πŸ™πŸ½πŸŒΏ   #plantwisdom #herbal #support #climate #wildberries #designwild
