Elder is an old
Gypsy remedy for colds and flu. Today it is also used for related problems
in the upper respiratory tract, including hay fever and sinusitis. To this
purpose, it is often combined with other herbs, such as
Peppermint,
Yarrow or
Ginger.
Drink one cup of one of these mixtures, get under warm covers/blankets and sweat your cold out or break your fever. Some recommend Elder in the treatment of arthritis and rheumatism. Externally, Elder is appropriate as a salve for a wide range of problems, including bruises, burns, wounds and rashes. Elder can also be used cosmetically to clear the skin and reduce wrinkles.
