Elder Berry Gold
When it comes to the most potent herbs for colds, flu, and sinus problems, Goldenseal and Elder Berry stand head and shoulders above the rest. This herbal combination not only attacks cold and flu viruses head-on with the antiviral properties of the elder berry but also the secondary infections caused by pathogenic bacteria through the antimicrobial properties of goldenseal. Symptoms are eased by goldenseal's anti-diarrheal and anti-inflammatory actions while the antioxidant properties of the elder provide further support to the immune system. Most effective when used at the initial onset of symptoms.
Goldenseal has a history of medicinal use that spans several hundred years. The Native Americans first used goldenseal for a variety of purposes including infections, skin wounds and ulcers, digestive problems such as dyspepsia, stomach ulcers, and diarrhea, and female disorders. Goldenseal assists the body's immune defenses in may ways. It is known to increase the flow of blood to the spleen thereby supporting the spleen's role in eliminating waste from the lymphatic system. Goldenseal also stimulates bile production and secretion and selectively destroys noxious bacteria throughout the entire G.I. tract allowing the immune system to focus on areas of more urgent need. Goldenseal has been shown to be effective against a wide variety of micro-organisms including Staph., Strep., E. coli, Candida, and more than 20 others.
Likewise Elderberry has been used in folk medicine for centuries to treat influenza, colds and sinusitis, and has been reported to have antiviral activity against influenza and herpes simplex. See bottom of the page for a summary of two studies involving elderberry for influenza.
These two potent herbs, goldenseal and elder berry, form the basis of our Immune Boosting products. When combined with the aromatherapy properties of 9 pure plant essential oils they form a totally natural system to assist the body in resisting disease and infection. More information regarding the scientific basis for goldenseal's use can be found by clicking on the Goldenseal Research link to the left.
With new and increased demand for natural health care products, Sleepy Hollow Farm is setting the standard for goldenseal product development through our USDA sponsored research. Sleepy Hollow Herb Farm's leadership in the area of medicinal plant production was recently recognized by the USDA through the award of a Small Business Innovation Research grant for our project entitled Establishing a Viable Organic Goldenseal Production System for Small Family Farms. Strategic partnerships with the research facilities of seven major universities and our commitment to medicinal plant research has given us access to expertise and technology matched only by the largest pharmaceutical companies.
Goldenseal has been shown to be effective against a wide range of disorders however, increased demand has led to overcollection from the wild. Our products begin with fresh herbs selectively hand harvested from the forest floor and sunny meadows of our farm. We then transform these herbs into an array of health enhancing products. Sleepy Hollow Farm's Goldenseal products are produced on the farm from our organically cultivated goldenseal plantation, not wild collected plants. Produced with an attention to detail that only a family run operation can deliver, our products are potent, environmentally friendly, and unsurpassed in quality. We unconditionally guarantee your satisfaction with our products or your purchase price will be cheerfully refunded. In fact, since goldenseal has such a wide variety of healing uses such as skin diseases and wounds, mouth ulcers and canker sores, yeast and fungal infections, hemorrhoids, stomach ulcers and many more, we are sure that once you use our Goldenseal products your medicine chest will never be without it!!!

Inhibition of several strains of
influenza virus in vitro and reduction of symptoms by an elderberry extract
during an outbreak of influenza B Panama.
J Altern Complement Med. 1995 Winter;1(4):361-9.
A standardized elderberry extract (SAM) reduced hemagglutination and
inhibited replication of human influenza viruses type A/Shangdong 9/93
(H3N2), A/Beijing 32/92 (H3N2), A/Texas 36/91 (H1N1), A/Singapore 6/86
(H1N1), type B/Panama 45/90, B/Yamagata 16/88, B/Ann Arbor 1/86, and of
animal strains from Northern European swine and turkeys, A/Sw/Ger 2/81, A/Tur/Ger
3/91, and A/Sw/Ger 8533/91 in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells. A significant
improvement of the symptoms, including fever, was seen in 93.3% of the cases
in the SAM-treated group within 2 days, whereas in the control group 91.7%
of the patients showed an improvement within 6 days (p < 0.001). A complete
cure was achieved within 2 to 3 days in nearly 90% of the SAM-treated group
and within at least 6 days in the placebo group (p < 0.001). Considering the
efficacy of the extract in vitro on all strains of influenza virus tested,
the clinical results, its low cost, and absence of side-effects, this
preparation could offer a possibility for safe treatment for influenza A and
B.
Randomized study of the efficacy and safety of oral elderberry extract in
the treatment of influenza A and B virus infections.
J Int Med Res. 2004 Mar-Apr;32(2):132-40
Elderberry has been used in folk medicine for centuries to treat influenza,
colds and sinusitis, and has been reported to have antiviral activity
against influenza and herpes simplex. We investigated the efficacy and
safety of oral elderberry syrup for treating influenza A and B infections.
Sixty patients (aged 18-54 years) suffering from influenza-like symptoms for
48 h or less were enrolled in this randomized, double-blind,
placebo-controlled study during the influenza season of 1999-2000 in Norway.
Patients received 15 ml of elderberry or placebo syrup four times a day for
5 days, and recorded their symptoms using a visual analogue scale. Symptoms
were relieved on average 4 days earlier and use of rescue medication was
significantly less in those receiving elderberry extract compared with
placebo. Elderberry extract seems to offer an efficient, safe and
cost-effective treatment for influenza.
