Elderberry

Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) has a long history of use in Western herbalism as a supportive, nutritive immune tonic, particularly during seasonal transitions and periods of prolonged demand. Unlike stimulating herbs used briefly and intentionally, elderberry is traditionally valued for its gentle, steady influence on immune resilience and recovery.

Herbalists often select elderberry when immune stress feels recurring or lingering, or when ongoing support is preferred over short-term activation. It is commonly associated with circulation of warmth, antioxidant nourishment, and recovery after depletion rather than immediate intervention.

Elderberry is most often prepared as syrups, decoctions, tinctures, or capsules. Traditional practice emphasizes the use of fully ripe, properly cooked berries, as raw berries are not used internally.
