PRECAUTIONS:
Opinions vary on whether elderberry is helpful, but most doctors believe it’s safe to have in small doses. But unripe or uncooked berries or flowers from the plant can cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Larger amounts can cause even more serious poisoning.
Other things to keep in mind:
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you shouldn’t take it.
Other parts of the elder tree, including the branches, twigs, leaves, roots, and seeds, are toxic. They have a type of cyanogen called glycoside.
People with immune problems might have reactions to elderberry.
If you get a rash or have trouble breathing after you have some, you might be allergic to it.
Because it’s a diuretic, be careful when you take it if you’re also using medicines that make you pee more.
Talk with your doctor if you’re thinking about taking elderberry.
SUMMARY:
Elderberry is one of the most commonly used medicinal plants in the world. Traditionally, Native Americans used it to treat infections, while the ancient Egyptians used it to improve their complexions and heal burns. It is still gathered and used in folk medicine across many parts of Europe.
While elderberry has become a rock star in the cold and flu-fighting universe, new evidence suggests that that elderberry was not effective in reducing the severity or duration of flu symptoms.
