Elder Berry and Flower Profile

Also known as- Sambucus spp (Nigra for berries and Canadensis for flowers)
American Elder, Common Elder, Black Elder, Bour Tree, and European Black Elder.
Introduction

Native Americans used the flowers, berries, and bark of elderberry trees to treat fevers and joint pain for hundreds of years, but elderberryÍs real claim to fame is as a cure for the flu. Israeli researchers have developed five formulas based on elderberry fruit that have been clinically proven to prevent and ameliorate all kinds of influenza.
Constituents

Potassium nitrate, sambucin, sambunigrin, sugars. The complex sugars of the leaf are the immune-active fraction.
Parts Used

Most commonly the flowers or berries. Dried fruits are less bitter than fresh.
The stems and leaves are poisonous.
Typical Preparations

Teas, tinctures, encapsulations, syrups, wine, cordials, and even ketchup, often combined with propolis or echinacea.
Summary

Extensive research show that elder stop the production of hormone-like cytokines that direct a class of white blood cells known as neutrophils to cause inflammation, especially in influenza and arthritis. On the other hand, elder increases the production non-inflammatory infection-fighting cytokines as much as 10 fold.

Elder berries are known to be effective against eight strains of influenza. This suggests that elder be superior to vaccines in preventing flu, because flu vaccines are only effective against known strains of flu, whereas the virus is continually mutating to new strains. Vaccines have another draw back: over half of people who get them report side effects.

Dr. Madeleine Mumcuoglu, of Hadassah-Hebrew University in Israel found that elderberry disarms the enzyme viruses use to penetrate healthy cells in the lining of the nose and throat. Taken before infection, it prevents infection. Taken after infection, it prevents spread of the virus through the respiratory tract.

In a clinical trial, 20% of study subjects reported significant improvement within 24 hours, 70% by 48 hours, and 90% claimed complete cure in three days. In contrast, subjects receiving the placebo required 6 days to recover.
Precautions

None for flowers or berries.
When using berries it must be from the nigra species as others are known to be poisonous.

You might want to make some of this stuff up now, so you have it later if you need it. I wish I had made up some elderberry syrup, I thought of making some and freezing it in plastic containers. You can get dried elderberries at San Francisco Herb Co. [link to www.sfherb.com]

I did make up the vinegar stuff and it's great. I really like it, whew it wakes you up!

Picked up some kind of bug last weekend at work and it's going into my lungs, so I got out all these herbs I have and going to experiment a little. Bronchitis has always been my weak point.

Where the heck does one find elderberries?

[link to www.herbalcom.com]


also google Sambucol for commercial version and studies

Geriatric department.

Elder Berries.

I posted a link to my favorite source above, San Francisco Herb Co. [link to www.sfherb.com] they also have a great price on oregano essential oil. I have ordered from them a lot and they have really good service, prices, and quality.

Another source is Monterey Bay Spice Co which I ordered from before as well, I don't like them as much as San Francisco Herb Co but they sell a lot of herbs and spices in quarter pound quantities which is kind of an advantage sometimes when you don't need a whole pound. I would still rather get stuff from San Francisco Herb Co though. But Monterey Bay has elderberries too: [link to www.herbco.com]

You can get the already made elderberry syrup from VitaCost [link to www.vitacost.com] I order from them all the time.

7 pounds of canned elderberries.
[link to www.brewersconnection.com]

6 pounds canned, actually. They say equivalent to 7 pounds fresh

Wanna know what they taste like? They taste like cough syrup! I think elderberries are the taste most cough syrups imitated initially.

Around here ( Tennessee) they grow wild along the roadside.

Thank you very much, i did ask for the recipe, thank you. When my grandson started the first grade he got monocleiosis. Everything went down after that, because he was not able to scape from every cold and flu, and at school thats impossible..to make a long story short(and a bunch of tears) Sambucol, natural liquid vitamins and acidophilosis, brought him back to be ok.Thanks heavens for nature and good people that always remember the "old ways".My mother, bless her heart alway saying,go natural you know what to do! Lesson learn. going back to "learn again" the old ways. thank you again my friend. god bless.

Hey that's great that the natural stuff worked. I think we are extremely lucky to live at a time when there is so much good information available to us. With the internet, you can find out all about how to use every kind of herb and natural medicine. And you can find sources to get everything at the best prices. It is good to have a few things around in case of some kind of outbreak. I have an 8 oz bottle of powdered vitamin C as a back up to the regular Ester C tablets I take.

Might as well stock up on things like organic vinegar, bottled lemon juice, honey, herbs and spices. A lot of herbs and spices are imported and I can't see the price going down in the future, can you? And go to the used bookstore and find some good books like Prescription for Nutritional Healing, etc. Might as well figure out some good ways to take care of yourself, even if you do go to the doctor, there is only so much they can do. After that it's up to you to stay healthy.

Elderberry Syrup - wHAT IS THE DOSEAGE ON THIS ?

An oldie but goodie.

Thanks again, Mercury :)

i tried this recipe but just filled a pot half way with elderberrys and simmered for like 24 hours on my potbelly stove. i added honey lemon juice vitamine c (ascorbic acid) and bottled on those tan bottles with pollyseal cap. i havnt used any yet but was wondering if heat kills the good stuff in it. i had so many elderberrys i tinctured with vodka. i dont even know if it satys good in the fridge, i have there for like 2 months already.

i also dried tons of it. it grows wild in pa. i have so much i feel like a nut

That's cool someone bumped this old thread. I recently made a giant batch of that vinegar tonic. That stuff is scary to make. The first time I made it I chopped and grated everything by hand. You could just about go blind from the fumes, and then you are wielding a big sharp knife while your eyes are practically swelled shut from the horseradish, hot pepper and onion fumes. Kind of not a good combination, so twice now since then I used the juicer to process the ingredients. Then I added the pulp and juice to the vinegar in big glass gallon jars and aged for 2 to 4 weeks, strained through cheese cloth and bottled back into the vinegar bottles.

it is better when it has aged in the bottles, when it is new and kind of raw it turns your guts inside out, but it gets easier to handle the more it ages.

Even using the juicer to process, you have to open all the windows and run a fan, it is wicked, don't wear contact lenses, I wear disposable gloves, your hands will pick up the oils and later you'll touch your eye and wish you hadn't, if you don't wear gloves.

I sure like that vinegar tonic, I put about a tablespoon in a glass, add a little baking soda and let it fizz, then add some water and drink that down. It is powerful stuff. you could take it preventatively this time of year, that's what I've been doing. "Why wait til you get sick?" that's one of my mottoes.

I never did too much with that elderberry syrup, I made some and have it but don't know if it's any good any more. It seems wimpier than the scary macho vinegar tonic. Oh and in that elderberry recipe I left out an important step, you have to strain it after you cook it. It will be full of seeds otherwise :-)

Thanks Mercury!

i made vinegar tinctures to but how the hell could you stomach this stuff if you get the flu. i tinctured elderberry with vodka and ginger for nausea but this stuff is strong. if you heat elderberry dosnt it become incative?

I wish I knew more about elderberry, I don't know what heating does to the active components.

That vinegar stuff is wicked, that's why maybe it is better to take it regularly for prevention, just a little, add the baking soda and water to take the edge off it, you do get used to it after a while. It does have the ginger in it so maybe that helps too. And I suppose it would be quite good with honey. Most likely you would tolerate it better when you are sick if you had been taking a little all along.

I sure like ginger tea with honey and lemon when I'm not feeling well, that is my favorite, it is so good.

i was googleing how long the syrup lasts in fridge and found this post.

i made a big batch of this stuff in pa and it has been in my fridge for months and dont know if it os still good.

when i was making it i added grapefruitseed extract ascorbic c lemon juice and honey.

i stored in these/polyseal caps

[link to comps.fotosearch.com]

how can i tell if it is bad?

i guess if i got bird flu i would even care lol

put dried elderberries in 100 proof vodka in a mason jar.... pour in enough vodka to cover them complteely, soak for 3 months shaking every week, then drain the fluid into brown glass bottles, add honey to taste. You can reuse the berries a time or two, adding in more vodka and allowing to sit 3 more months , then draining again. Take at first sign of cold or flu... will reduce the bout of illness to three days instead of 6....might work for bird flu as well... causes antibody superstorm/antiviral

You can use just the Cider Vinegar for decreasing the congestion of colds or allergy.. I have been doing that for years. I personally couldn't mix all that other hot stuff with it because of a stomach ulcer.

The elderberry syrup sounds good . I should give it a try

Thanks !

I ended up getting nine bottles of Sambucol before the Israel company got sold. Still sipping that stuff occasionally since the bird flu Fema tape surfaced. The (Natures Path?) Sambucol I haven't tried yet, still got the genuine stuff. Are elderberry trees illegal in the US?

bookmarked and added to favorites

thanks darlin

Thank you so much for the recipe.

I have purchased bottles of the elderberry syrup and the cherry bark syrup from Honey Gardens.
[link to www.honeygardens.com]

But when I moved into my country home I had a wonderful surprise - wild elderberries. Now I am excited about making my own syrup.

I have used it to treat the flu in myself and family. It works like a charm. It is so good I was able to go to work when my co-workers were out sick. Good stuff.

Thanks, Mercury! I'm planning on buying some dried elderberries at Bulk Foods. Great to have, just to put some away for next year too.
