One of the most commonly used medicinal plants in the world is Elderberry. Likewise, the same properties are also present in Elderflower. Traditionally, the berries were used to treat infections and also make wine. Nowadays, elderberry is widely used as a supplement to treat cold and flu symptoms.

Elderberries are immune boosters because their juice contains high amounts of flavonoids called anthocyanins, which are very strong anti-oxidants. Elderberries are also very high in Vitamin C, which increases the anti-oxidant effect. The elderberry is also an expectorant that helps to create a productive cough.
