What is it?:
American Elder Flower (Sambucus canadensis) Liquid Extract comes from the flowers of the black elder tree, which grows in the warmer temperate climes throughout the Northern hemisphere. These flowers have an anti-microbial effect and are also packed full of anti-oxidants, making them very much in demand as a way to fight off colds & flu; also known for its diaphoretic action, it can be used to help sweat out colds & flu... Elderflower also helps suppress cough and can help break up chest congestion when there is an infection in the upper respiratory tract.
Elderflower has anti-microbial and nourishing qualities and is commonly used to address skin irritation and rashes (as an ingredient in topical ointments/salves).

It is important to understand that herbs work by restoring balance to the body.
