Elder flower Organic

Elder flower: Sambucus nigra (L.)

Why Elder? When the summer wanes and the leaves begin to fall, our immune systems seek support in all forms. The elderflower is known to aid in promoting a healthy, normal immune system, especially during the chilly seasons. Enhance your herbal remedy tool-kit with this seasonal savior.

Benefits: Elder flower has long been used in households for its immune-supportive properties, and goes as far as receiving the colloquial name “the medicine chest of country people.”
