Elder Flower
Elderflower (Sambucus nigra), also called European Elder, Black Elder, Elderblow, or Bourtree, is a time-honored herb in traditional European herbalism. Known for its gentle yet effective support, elderflower medicine has been used for centuries to promote wellness and vitality.
Elder is a deciduous shrub native to Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia. It thrives in fertile, moist soils along riverbanks, hedgerows, and woodlands. Today, it is widely naturalized across North America. Since ancient Greece, the Elder has been praised for its healing properties.
Dioscorides called it a versatile remedy in the 1st century A.D., and Medieval Europe celebrated Elder as the “medicine chest of the people.” Folklore even regarded the Elder tree as sacred, offering protection and positive energy.
Elderflowers and elderberries, though from the same plant, serve different purposes. Elderflowers are light, aromatic, and soothing, perfect for teas, cordials, and washes.
Elderberries are tart, richly pigmented, and strengthening, commonly used in syrups, jams, and seasonal tonics. Both together enhance spring detox, vitality blends, and natural skincare.
