Echinacea & Elderberry Syrup By Napiers 100ml

A herbal food supplement

A soothing syrup to support immunity, made with Echinacea root and Elderberries.

This echinacea and elderberry syrup is a pleasant tasting extract made from echinacea roots and elderberries in a sugar base that can be used to mix into drinks, for baking or just sucked off the spoon! 

Elderberries (Sambucus nigra) have been used for centuries as a tasty, vitamin C-rich ingredient in hot toddies during the winter months to avoid coughs, colds and the flu. The syrup also includes Echinacea root, used in American Indian medicines for hundreds of years.

Napier's founder, Duncan Napier, was born in 1831 and abandoned within hours of his birth. He was taken in by an innkeeper and his wife, who beat him and treated him little better than a slave. At the age of 9, he was apprenticed to a baker and found himself with a cough triggered by the flour dust that he simply could not shake off. He left home at 15 and began to attend Scientific Botany classes in search of a cure for his cough. It was later when he joined the Edinburgh Botanical Society that his interest in herbs grew that he developed his famed Lobelia Cough Syrup.
