Elder Flower (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. It's
important to note that elderberries and elderflowers should never be consumed
raw, as they contain a toxin that can cause nausea and vomiting.
Beyond medicinal and culinary uses, Elder Flowers 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.
