We have forgotten just how deep a cultural revolution Christianity wrought. In fact, we forget about it precisely because of how deep it was: There are many ideas that we simply take for granted as natural and obvious, when in fact they didn't exist until the arrival of Christianity changed things completely. Take, for instance, the idea of children. Today, it is simply taken for granted that the innocence and vulnerability of children makes them beings of particular value, and entitled to particular care. We also romanticize children â their beauty, their joy, their liveliness.
Skin Benefits Of of Elderberry Juice. Elderberry is known as an effective detoxifier and has been known to clear skin infections such as common sin rashes, boils, conjunctivitis, and acne. When used externally this herb is used in skin lotions as a common astringent that may help or prevent many skin infections and inflammations.
Even WebMD acknowledges Elderberryâs use in medicine: âElderberry is used for âthe fluâ (influenza), H1N1 âswineâ flu, HIV/AIDS, and boosting the immune system.It is also used for sinus pain, back and leg pain (sciatica), nerve pain (neuralgia), and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Dried elderberries or elder flowers can be used to make a delicious tea (Iâd add honey or stevia since it is somewhat sour). 2  A pre-made syrup is available for acute flu symptoms, but the homemade version works just as well and is much less expensive in my experience.
