[Sambucus nigra]Certified OrganicForm: Whole Berries2 oz. Loose Leaf{Found in our Pixie Punch Herbal Infusion}When do I think of Elder berries? If someone near me is sick! Elderberries are rich in Vitamin C, proanthocyanadin flavonoids and antiviral properties. Elderberry syrup has been loved for many years for its reputation of tending to colds and flus. Though I can’t say for sure if it has any effect during these times because, well, Im not allowed to say much as an herbalist, I will say that I personally call upon it during the winter season. Lesser known traditional use is its reported ability to help the body with allergic symptoms by stabilizing mast cells and reducing histamine production. This berry is a beauty.
