As many of you know, elderberry is one of my favorite herbs for avoiding and treating contagious illnesses. My family always takes it when we are out and about in public, traveling, or if we feel a bug coming on. Itās one of the best antiviral herbs on the planet.
Beyond shortening the duration of cold and flu, the elder plant is also helpful for inflammation, chronic fatigue, allergies, nerve pain, cancer, and more. Importantly, elderberry can be used by those who have an autoimmune disorder ā unlike other medicinal herbs that may be a trigger such as echinacea, goldenseal, and astragalus. Itās an all-around powerful remedy that should be in every medicine cabinet!
Fun Facts and Traditional Uses
Native to Europe, Africa, and areas of Asia, elderberry trees can also be found in the US.
The tree can grow up to 30 feet (9 meters) tall and has beautiful sprays of creamy-white flowers and bunches of bluish-black berries.
Elderberry contains the antioxidant flavonols, quercetin, kaempferol, and isorhamnetin, with the flowers containing up to 10 times more than the berries. The berries are also rich in anthocyanins, which provide strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.
The berries and flowers also have a long culinary tradition of use! Cooked berries are often made into jams, chutneys, juice, pies, and wine. Elderberry flowers can be infused into a tea or boiled in sugar for a sweet cordial ā see the recipe below from my book, The Foragerās Guide to Wild Foods.
Recipe ā Elderflower Cordial: Boil water in a pot and dissolve 1 lb. sugar (500g). Remove from heat and mix in: 20 fresh elderflower heads, 25g citric acid, 1 zested, and sliced lemon. Cover and steep for 12-24 hrs. Drain liquid through a cheesecloth and bottle.
Outstanding Protection and Treatment for Colds, Influenza, and Respiratory Illness
Since inflammation and immune system dysfunction go hand-in-hand with autoimmune disorders, I have to be careful about avoiding the latest bug making the rounds. This is why elderberry is an important part of my familyās health protocol ā especially when we are in public. My family and I take it as a preventative before and after engaging with the world and other people. It helps to keep us healthy year-round, but particularly during the cold and flu season.
Black elderberry extract has been shown time and again to reduce the severity and length of a cold and influenza. In one study, 60 people ill with the flu who took 15 mL of elderberry extract four times a day experienced symptom improvement in 2 to 4 days, while it took the control group 7 to 8 days to improve. Moreover, double-blind placebo controlled clinical trial involving 312 air travelers who took 300 mg elderberry extract three times a day found that the participants who did fall ill with a cold or the flu recovered faster and had less severe symptoms.
Unlike many elderberry products on the market, the tincture found in my apothecary isnāt formulated with a sugar or honey syrup base. Instead, the full-spectrum of beneficial properties are accessed through our dual-extracted and spagyric methods, which create a superior alcohol and glycerite-based extract that has the additional benefit of a very long shelf life. We offer elderberry as a stand alone tincture or included within the Travel Pack, Winter Defense, and Warrior bundles.
Wishing you an abundance of health throughout this season and beyond!
Safety
Our elderberry tinctures are not toxic, but If gathering it yourself, note that each part of the plant is mildly toxic. Do not use the fresh plant without first cooking or drying. The bark and root should never be taken internally. Elderberry leaves and unripe berries are poisonous.

Jacci van Alder, herbal witch Posted January 2, 2022 4:55 PM cold sores are a viral outbreak of herpes, and one of the best treatments is a lemon balm tincture, you can grown your own lemon balm and have it on hand. You can also prevent the cold sores by limiting your stress, adding Lysine to your diet- either supplements or with foods high in Lysine. Limiting foods in your diet ( especially in high stress times) that are high in arginine, i.e. nuts & seeds, red meat, poultry,dairy, grains, wheat germā¦ there are necessary amounts of arginine but perhaps you are over your bodies personal needs Reply
Kristina Skirving Posted January 6, 2022 4:34 PM I make a healing salve from two infused olive oils and beeswax. One infused with goldenrod flowers and one infused with yarrow. Amounts of oil in equal parts. At the first tingle on the lip, I put the salve on. So far, I have not had any eruptions. I have not used this inside of my mouth. Reply
Tami Posted February 21, 2022 10:32 PM L-lysine works amazingly well to stop the replication of the cold sore virus. I take 2,000 mg as soon as I feel the itchy tickle and again 6 and 12 hours later. Then 1000 mg every 8 hours for the next 24 hours. Stops them every time. Reply

Stacey Posted December 21, 2021 11:14 PM At the top it says elderberry is good for sciatica. How do you use it to treat sciatic pain? Reply
The Lost Herbs Posted December 22, 2021 3:43 PM Hi Stacey, Anthocyanins are known to reduce inflammation. Those in elderberry do so by blocking the production of nitric oxide by the bodyās immune cells. Nitric oxide serves as a signaling molecule that triggers inflammation when you get injured or have sciatica. By slowing down this response, pain and swelling may decrease as well. Reply

Silje Posted December 28, 2021 9:52 AM I avoid elderberry in this pandemic bu I make syrups with the same herbs and principals with aronia-berries. The father of my children has several autoimmune diseases and due to his immune system easily going into cytokine storms we avoid stimulating it too much elderberry in case we get the C as well Reply
Barbara Lindemann Posted January 7, 2022 6:27 AM Hi Nicole! I love your book! The color photos and descriptions are very informative! Regarding e-books, I have the same problem as others where I canāt access them and if I do I can never find them again. How about making the other books available in physical format for a small fee??? BTW I did receive my seed kit! And I look forward to your educational emails. Thanks so much! Reply

The Lost Herbs Posted February 9, 2022 11:45 AM Hi Oluwatope, We would suggest you find a local health store or a local market. There are a couple of specialized online medicinal herbs stores. It is best to use Google to find one that delivers to your area. Many blessings and good health! Reply
