"Most berries are loaded with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, strengthen the integrity of our blood vessels and capillaries, fight cancer, and improve brain function.
Healthy Wild Berries
Some berries have "star" qualities that set their nutrition apart from the rest.
Black Elderberries
Black elderberries vend off oncoming cold and flu viruses.
Cranberries
Cranberries protect against urinary tract infections.
Lychee Berries (Goji Berries)
Lychee berries are loaded with prostate-protective lycopene and may also help protect us from the effects of aging. Cherries decrease pain and gout.
Blueberries and Bilberries
Blueberries and bilberries are good for eye health, mental cognition, and anti-aging effects.
Hawthorn Berries
Hawthorn berries reduce blood pressure and tonify the cardiovascular system in almost every way possible.
Honorary Berries
I often consider dark purple grapes, pomegranates, rooibos red tea, and hibiscus flowers as honorary berries in my repertoire because they have such similar and complementary properties.
Oxymels
Of course you can, and should, eat berries daily.
An oxymel serves as a delicious way to preserve berries for daily dosing. Simply infuse dried and/or fresh berries in a blend of unpasteurized apple cider vinegar and honey. Think of it as sweet-tart fruit meeting a sweet-tart liquid.
Feel free to experiment with different berries depending on what you have on hand. The ingredients can be found in most natural food stores that sell good, loose medicinal herbs in bulk."
My notes: Berries are great! I personally love strawberries, raspberries, & blueberries. Hard to find the others.
