Our Journey to Wellness: The Story Behind Community Roots Natural

Today, we’d like to share a personal story with you—the story of how Community Roots Natural came to life.

In 2021, our family, like many others, found ourselves caught in a relentless cycle of colds and sniffles. Our kids would often bring home illnesses from daycare and hockey practice, and it seemed like just as one bug left, another one arrived. Coming off the heels of the pandemic, every cough and sneeze carried an added layer of concern and stigma.

Determined to break this cycle and boost our immune systems naturally, we turned to our trusted naturopath for guidance. That’s when we discovered the remarkable benefits of elderberry syrup. However, sourcing a high-quality syrup proved to be a challenge. So, we decided to take matters into our own hands—we sourced organic elderberries and other wholesome ingredients to craft our own elderberry syrup at home.

The difference was astounding. Within weeks, the constant stream of illnesses slowed dramatically. Even when colds swept through the daycare, our kids either remained healthy or experienced only mild symptoms. Encouraged by these results, we shared our syrup with friends and neighbors, who reported similar positive experiences.

By 2023, fueled by the amazing feedback and a desire to help more families, we decided to make our elderberry syrup available for purchase. The outpouring of support has been incredible, and we’re grateful for each and every one of you who has joined us on this journey toward better health.

But our mission doesn’t stop there. We’re continually exploring new ways to promote wellness through natural products. That’s why we’re excited to introduce Dab Up, our natural, aluminum-free deodorant. It’s another step toward embracing products that are kind to our bodies and the environment.

Thank you for being a part of our story. Your trust and support inspire us every day to keep growing and serving our community with products rooted in nature and crafted with love.
