Elder Flowers 1:2 (MediHerb)

Sambucus nigra.

Elder flowers are indicated for any catarrhal inflammation of the upper respiratory tract. As a gentle relaxing diaphoretic, they open the pores to cool the body, encourage sweating and help to expectorate phlegm from the lungs, and so are indicated in fevers accompanied by stuffy sinus or lung congestion. While elderberry is revered as an antiviral, elder flowers also act to support the body's immune responses to viral infections.
