Weleda Blackthorn Elixir 200ml

Love the product. Only if I could get it cheaper and larger pack sizes. The amounts I consume make it expensive for me to consume on a daily basis.

I have used Weleda Blackthorn Elixir numerous times over the years and it always helps restore my vital energy after an illness or in times of stress.

This is the most amazing product - serious energy booster

I felt a difference within a few days. More energy, and better sleep.

Helps postpartum with tiredness and general wellbeing

great stuff. i use it when my nursery class is sick and runny-nosed to stay healthy. it works!

`Prunus spinosa' or blackthorn is supposed to help rebalance and invigorate the body, and (like barberry) has anti-bacterial/anti-viral properties. In natural medicine blackthorn is used for stress, during pregnancy/breast feeding or against the effects of ageing when the regenerative powers of the body's natural systems start to reduce. It works by stimulating anabolic metabolism.This 200ml formulation by Weleda is claimed to be made from organic ripe sloe berries gathered from the wild, added to `biodynamically grown' lemon juice as a stabiliser. It's an elixir, a viscous brown-coloured liquid you pour into a table spoon (like cough medicine), rather than a concentrated extract for which you use a squeeze-bulb dropper. The brown glass bottle has a screw cap, and comes contained in a stiff outer cardboard box with all the product information in both English and French (the French name for blackthorn is `prunelle'). You need to refrigerate it once opened.The taste is pleasant, and you can mix the gloop into hot or cold water or tea. Effective? Difficult to tell, but because it has been used for centuries in various formulations and its popularity persists, it almost certainly has health benefits at some level.

I love this product it works really well. I've only used it for two days so far. It has already helped increase my milk supply for breastfeeding. And also taste really good
