Elderberry Bulk Herb 4 oz

Elderberry

Botanical Name: Sambucus nigra

Purpose:
Elderberry is most well-known for its immune-boosting properties. It is often used to help prevent or reduce the severity of colds and flu, particularly when taken at the first signs of illness. The berries are rich in antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins, which support the immune system and fight off oxidative stress. Elderberry is also traditionally used to reduce inflammation, promote heart health by improving circulation, and alleviate respiratory symptoms like coughs and congestion. Additionally, elderberry is sometimes used to promote skin health, particularly for its potential to combat acne and reduce inflammation.

Safety Precautions:
Elderberry is generally considered safe for most people when consumed in moderation, especially when properly prepared (i.e., cooked to neutralize toxic compounds in raw berries). The raw berries, leaves, and stems of the plant can contain toxic compounds and should not be consumed. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult with a healthcare provider before using elderberry products.
