Benefits: Elderberry is well-regarded for its immune-boosting qualities and is packed with antioxidants. It’s commonly used to support immune health, helping the body fend off seasonal ailments and soothe inflammation. Elderberry also promotes cardiovascular and respiratory wellness and provides mild laxative effects that aid in digestive health.

Supports:

• Immune System: Encourages immune defense and resilience, especially during seasonal changes.
• Respiratory Health: Helps soothe the respiratory tract and support lung health.
• Digestive & Urinary Health: Mild laxative and diuretic effects aid in maintaining digestive and urinary function.

Usage: Elderberry can be prepared as a decoction, tincture, or syrup for regular use, especially during colder months or when immune support is needed.

Important Notes:
Only consume ripe elderberries, as unripe fruit, leaves, roots, and bark can cause digestive upset. Caution is advised if you are already using laxatives or diuretics, as elderberry may enhance these effects.
