Remedies for Hay Fever

Used for centuries in European folk medicine, elderberry was known as 'the medicine chest of the common people.' Its flowers and berries were used to make cordials and wines to treat colds, flu, and fevers. Hippocrates, the 'father of medicine,' wrote about its benefits.

The use of willow bark for pain and fever dates back to ancient Egypt and Greece, where Hippocrates wrote of its benefits. It is the original source of salicin, the compound from which aspirin was later synthesized. It was the go-to remedy for pain, fever, and inflammation for centuries.
