Elder Berry (Sambucus nigra), also known as elderberry, black
elder, or European elder, is a flowering shrub native to Europe, but cultivated
worldwide. Holders of a rich history, elderberries have been used for centuries
in various cultures.
Medicinally, elderflower, the cream-colored blooms of the
Sambucus nigra plant, has been used in teas and tinctures to treat coughs,
colds, and flu symptoms. While some studies suggest elderberry may shorten the
duration of colds, more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness.
Culinary uses for elderberries are vast. Once fully ripe, the
berries can be transformed into jams, jellies, wines, and cordials. The flowers
can also be used to flavor beverages and baked goods. However, due to the toxins,
it’s recommended to cook elderberries thoroughly before consumption.
Beyond medicinal and culinary uses, Elder Berry also holds
significance in magical practices. In some cultures, elder is associated with
protection and purification. The wood was used to create wands, and the berries
were incorporated into rituals for warding off evil spirits
