Elder flower and berries are best known for their cold and flu fighting abilities. By using them at the onset of an illness, studies have shown that it greatly reduces the length of the illness. The berries and flowers have different actions on the body. We most commonly use Elder berries because in studies they have been shown to increase cytokine production and help strengthen cell walls against viral invaders. The high level of flavanoids support the body in general good health as antioxidants help the body deal with free radicals.
If the body does not respond quickly to Elder berry then a custom tincture may help. Herbs like Lemon balm, Yarrow, and Elder flowers help the body naturally fight illness and reduce fevers as a diaphoretic. Elder flowers will produce a mild sweat which helps to sweat the virus out and reduce the fever by opening up channels of elimination through the skin and urinary tract.
