Elder (sambucus nigra) is the queen of herbs and is always planted as the central therapeutic plant in traditional herb gardens, as well as in boundary corners of large properties.
There is said to be strong spiritual energy around a small grove of Elder. This 'Elder-tree-mother' is most protective of her grove, yet with the proper respect, will pass on to the herbalist the more magical of her attributes.
She is sacred to the Romani who will not burn it as wood in their fires; they declare that a tree which can help all the ailments of mankind and can restore sight to the blind is too precious to burn.
The berries and flowers of elderberry are packed with antioxidants and vitamins that can boost your immune system, with high vitamin C content especially. They could help tame inflammation, lessen stress, and help protect your heart.
Honestly these tinctures are amazing, I have had the Mullein and the elderberry, took them through winter, everyone around me was sick and I was fine. My hubby can’t have alcohol so got him the honey ones ![]()
