Elderflowers are often found in cold, flu, fever, and allergy formulations. They are soothing and detoxifying, and they contain antibiotic essential oil. They help break fevers and fight pathogens, especially when combined with peppermint and yarrow. Elderflowers are good for clearing the skin and a tea of elderflowers will help clear up acne and other blemishes. Externally, elderflowers are very effective in salves for inflammation, wounds, burns, cuts, abrasions, dry skin, and acne.

Overview

Introduction

European elder is a plant native to Europe, Northern Africa, and Western-and Central Asia. Its flowers and berries have a long history of use in traditional European medicine. Elder berries have also been used for making preserves, wines, winter cordials, and for adding flavor and color to other wines.

Constituents

Potassium nitrate, sambucin, sambunigrin, sugars. The complex sugars of the berries are the immune-active fraction.

Parts Used

Most commonly the flowers or berries. Dried fruits are less bitter than fresh.

The branches and leaves are poisonous. The small stem which is sometimes left on the berry is safe.

Typical Preparations

Teas, tinctures, encapsulations, syrups, wine, cordials, and even ketchup, often combined with propolis or echinacea.

Reviewer: The medicine child from NEW YORK, NY United States  
The herbs I received smell potent and have been giving good results with my infusions. Looking forward to making some tinctures and oils with these as well. Order process was smooth and shipping was pretty fast. Will order from this company again.
