Elderflower (Sambucus nigra) is classified as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and diuretic herb. It is widely known for its immune-boosting properties and is often used to support the body during colds, flu, and respiratory infections. Elderflower helps to reduce symptoms such as congestion, sinus pressure, and fever by promoting sweating and relieving inflammation in the upper respiratory tract. It is also used to alleviate allergies and hay fever due to its ability to reduce inflammation and act as a natural antihistamine. Additionally, elderflower is beneficial for supporting skin health and has mild diuretic properties, which can aid in reducing water retention. Elderflower is commonly consumed as a tea, syrup, or in tincture form.
