The Powerful Plant

Although now popular in America, the elderberry (Sambucus canadensis and Sambucus Nigra) is native to Europe. Traditionally, its leaves and flowers have been used as home remedies, and also its berries, to flavor foods. The aged bark is also used in gastronomy or for winemaking.

The berries and flowers are most frequently used for medicinal purposes. This is because different investigations found that they possess flavonoids with abundant properties, among which antioxidant and immune system enhancing effects stand out.

Elderberry is grown mainly as an ornamental plant and for the use of its fruits in the production of jams, syrups and wines.

In orchards and crops, it is a plant widely used to provide faint shade and to repel pests of mice and moles. Infusions are prepared with the leaves to repel aphids and caterpillars by spraying it on the plants.

A Secret for Centuries

The documented medicinal use of elderberry dates back to the 6th century in Wales, however it is believed to have been used long before. In the 18th century, elderberry water was used as a skin whitening agent and to fade freckles, and in 1651 a treatise was published that lists up to 70 diseases that can be treated with recipes based on elderberry.
