Elder – Sambucus nigra – was revered by the Celts and the Germanic tribes as a protective tree. In our latitudes, it has an ancient tradition as a medicinal plant and has been used as a panacea for centuries, especially in rural areas. Elder flowers and berries, leaves, bark and roots offer us a variety of vitamins, minerals, essential oils and bioactive substances – such as flavonoids, phytosterols, tannins and saponins – which have earned the popular garden shrub the award as “Medicinal Plant of the Year 2024” (Germany).
Elderberry has been proven to fight flu and cold viruses, it detoxifies, aids digestion, alleviates gastrointestinal complaints, strengthens the nerves and rejuvenates the skin; its numerous healing properties – including antipyretic, antioxidant, pain-relieving, antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, immune-boosting, heartprotective and antidepressant – make the “elderberry” a true jewel in the medicine cabinet
