Blackcurrants (Ribes nigrum) have extraordinary therapeutic properties. They help detoxify the body, regulate hormones, fight anemia, stimulate the growth of bones and strengthen them, help regenerate body cells, and prolong life. In the natural medicine of the Nordic and Baltic peoples, blackcurrants, a wild berry that ripens in the partial shade of forests and clearings, is considered a real panacea. Now let’s see how to make blackcurrant syrup and how to use blackcurrant syrup at home.
How to Make Blackcurrant Syrup
Wash the ripe blackcurrants very well but gently, so they remain intact. In a large glass jar, layer them alternately with raw honey – a half-finger thick layer of berries and a finger-thick layer of honey. Seal the jar and keep it in a cool place for two months. After this time, strain the content through cheesecloth so you squeeze all the healing blackcurrant syrup out. This blackcurrant syrup is usually a natural immune-boosting medicine that you have available in the mid-autumn season, right when viral infections, whooping coughs, and bronchitis season usually start.
According to the forefathers of natural medicine in Europe, Sebastian Kneipp, blackcurrant syrup is a healing elixir for the throat and the upper respiratory tract.
3 Health Uses of Blackcurrant Syrup
- Chronic Fatigue and Mental Overload – if you experience mental overload or burnout, blackcurrant syrup is especially recommended – 1-2 teaspoons when experiencing dizziness, drowsiness, and inability to focus. Or drink 1-2 cup of blackcurrant juice a day for at least a week.
- Sore Throat, Coughs, Hoarseness, and Tonsillitis – blackcurrant syrup has a double effect: on the one hand, it acts directly on pathogens, destroying them and “repairing” the damaged tissues, and on the other hand, it increases long-term local immunity, preventing further illness. You can have up to 8 teaspoons of blackcurrant syrup per day. Take it without water, and swallow extremely slowly, so that the currants can act on the affected area.
- Bronchitis, Pneumonia, and Tuberculosis – blackcurrant juice has particularly effective immunostimulant action, alongisde exceptional vitaminizing and remineralizing effects. Take 3-4 tablespoons, five to six times a day, over a long period of time. If you do not have enough fresh berries to prepare this juice, you can continue supplementing with blackcurrant powder or take blackcurrant syrup.
