Our organic elderberry and flower tincture has traditionally been used in Western Herbalism as a diaphoretic in conditions requiring fever management, including the common cold and flu.
There are other uses for elderberry and flower such as:
- To promote sweating (diaphoretic) to help relieve fever in cases of common colds and flus.
- To help relieve symptoms of colds and flus (such as coughs, sore throat and mucus buildup (catarrh) of the upper respiratory tract)
- To help relieve nasal congestion and discharge associated with sinusitis, hay fever and allergic rhinitis.
- As a diuretic.
- As an alterative to help remove accumulated waste products through the kidneys, skin and mucus membranes.
