Black Elderberry - Medicinal Plant of the Year 2024

The elderberry - Sambucus nigra - was revered by the Celts and Germans as a protective tree. In our regions, it has an ancient tradition as a medicinal plant and has been used for centuries, especially in rural areas, as a panacea. Elderflowers and berries, leaves, bark, and roots provide us with a variety of vitamins, minerals, essential oils, and bioactive substances - such as flavonoids, phytosterols, tannins, and saponins - which have earned this popular garden shrub the title of "Medicinal Plant of the Year."

Elderberry has been proven to combat flu and cold viruses, detoxify, promote digestion, alleviate gastrointestinal complaints, strengthen the nerves, and rejuvenate the skin; its numerous healing properties - including fever-reducing, antioxidant, pain-relieving, antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, immune-boosting, heart-protective, and antidepressant effects - make the "Holler" a gem of the home pharmacy.
