Beyond Elderberry! Legend & Lore of the Elder Shrubbery

The Herbalist's Path

Ah, elegant Elder, the shrubbery with so much to give. Elderberry syrup is certainly a hot topic these days and rightfully so! Not only is this stuff is a powerhouse when it comes to boosting your immune system and fighting off viruses, it’s delicious too. I mean, with cold and flu season plus a global pandemic, it’s refreshing to have a medicine even the kids are happy to take.

But Elder is so much more than just berries for syrup. Even outside its clinical, medicinal properties, there is an abundance of history and lore surrounding the plant. It’s been presumed a conduit to the realms of fairies and the underworld; and these legends span across multiple cultures. Maybe that’s because this plant is exceptionally useful and it is EVERYWHERE. North America, Europe, Western Asia, Africa, New Zealand, Australia, and many pacific islands. It’s almost as if mother nature is begging us to use this plant!

Elder is a veritable “medicine Cabinet” ready for immediate use. From its roots to the stems, leaves, flowers, barks, and berries, there was always a way you could get medicinal benefits from Elder. It’s a shrubbery I love to see winter, spring, summer, and fall. It makes great medicine no matter the time of the year.
