Elderberries – Harvesting and Use

Elderberry plants have been used for centuries by Native Americans as a powerful medicine and a potent source of Vitamin A and C.

Blue elderberry is extremely useful if you feel a viral infection or influenza coming on. The flowers of the plant can be used dried as a tea infusion, add some peppermint and perhaps some yarrow–a time-worn, medicine-woman remedy. Steep for about 7 minutes and drink 2 or 3 times daily.

 Elderberry can be used for other health issues as the flowers and the berries have anti-inflammatory, antioxidance  and diaphoretic properties.

Elderberry syrup can speed recovery time of an infection and can also be used as a preventative medicine to improve resistance to colds and flu.

Red and Blue elderberries can be found in temperate climates all over the world and it thrives in forested regions.

Red elderberries should be cooked, as in their raw state they can produce nausea.  The roots, stems, bark and leaves should be avoided as they contain cyanide-type substances whcih can be poisonous.
