Pelargonium - Elixir

 Pelargonium sidoides 

The South African geranium also known as the black geranium or Cape pelargonium, is an herb long used in South African traditional medicine. The root of the plant is typically distilled into an extract and used in cough and cold remedies to alleviate symptoms and reduce the duration of illness.

The plant is widely used by local communities as a traditional medicine for curing various ailments, including

• diarrhoea,
• colic,
• gastritis,
• tuberculosis,
• cough,
• hepatic disorders,
• menstrual complaints and
• gonorrhoea
• stomach ailment known as instila in infants
• Colds
• Sinusitis

Historically, herbal elixirs were used medicinally, as a pleasant way to treat a variety of ailments. Adding a sweetener to bitter or astringent herb tinctures can make ingesting them a more palatable experience, especially with kids.
