THE USES OF ELDERBERRY
Valuable Asset
As a naturopath and master herbalist, here’s how I use elderberry:
Elderberry is much more than a seasonal flu fighter. Traditionally, it has been used to help with colds, acute infections accompanied by fever, hot dry skin, headache, nausea, rhinitis, asthma, croup, hay fever, conjunctivitis, rheumatism, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, and stomatitis — to name a few.
Thanks to its naturally high vitamin C content, elderberry supports mast cell stability and wound healing. Its gentle carminative and mild laxative properties also make it an excellent ally for nervous system balance and digestive health, particularly in children.
With no known contraindications, elderberry is safe to use alongside other medications and supplements. Backed by a long history of traditional use, it remains a valuable and versatile staple for every home medicine cupboard.
TRIED & TESTED
High Quality
Elderberry Blends Australia use local, honest, high quality ingredients with the utmost integrity in an industry where we must be cautious. It is for this reason that I recommend their products. Always remember, prevention is better than cure!
