Elder flowers are used in traditional medicine for colds, flu, and inflammation, as well as for skincare and to support eye and respiratory health. They are also used in food and beverages for their flavor. Uses include making teas, syrups, and tinctures, applying topical washes to the skin, and creating alcoholic drinks like wine, champagne, or cordial.
Medicinal and health uses
For colds and flu:
Elderflower tea is used to induce sweating and support the body's response to fever, and it is also used in a gargle or mouthwash for coughs and sore throats.
For inflammation and pain:
It is used to soothe sinus congestion, reduce inflammation, and as a topical wash for joint pain and swelling (rheumatism).
For eye health:
A wash made from elderflower tea can be used for weak or irritated eyes, conjunctivitis, and other eye infections.
For skin and hair:
Infusions can be applied to the skin to soothe rashes, eczema, and minor burns, and to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and age spots. They are also used as a hair and scalp rinse.
For diabetes:
Some research suggests elderflower compounds may help lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
For other conditions:
It may be used for constipation, as a diuretic to increase urine production, and as a gentle laxative.
Culinary uses
Elder flowers are famously used to make elderflower cordial, a sweet syrup that can be mixed with water or spirits. They can also be used to make wine, champagne, or infused gin and vodka.
They can be used to flavor jams, jellies, and other foods, or even fried in a batter to make fritters.
Important considerations
Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before using herbs for medicinal purposes, especially if you have an underlying condition or are pregnant.
If making your own remedies, ensure you know how to properly identify and harvest elderflowers, as they can sometimes cause nausea.
Elder products should not replace proven medical treatments.
