They are also called elders. Most are from temperate or subtropical forests in both the northern and southern hemispheres. They are important as shrubs in gardens and forests, and their berries are used to make wines, jellies, pies, and medicines, as well as to feed animals.  Elderberry plants lose their leaves in the fall and are usually shrubs or small trees with many stems. The leaves have leaflets that are toothed and grow on opposite sides of the stems. Small red, blue-black, black, or yellow berries follow flat to round clusters of tiny yellowish-white saucer-shaped flowers on the plants. Elderberries are easy to grow in their natural habitat, but some are invasive outside their native range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I use elderflowers?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly the blossoms and berries of the plant are palatable. When raw, they are moderately toxic and have a disagreeable flavor. Cooking destroys the hazardous chemicals.

Both boost the immune system and fight off infections, but elderflowers have some extra uses that other herbs don't have.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e◉ \u003cstrong\u003eCooking with Elderflower:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use the cordial or the dried flowers in cakes, tarts, jams, pies, or pancakes. The blossoms taste excellent with tart fruits like rhubarb. They're also delicious baked with strawberries and raspberries. These summer flowers are light, floral, and tasty.

You can use elderflower as a tonic. As a cold infusion, it can help the body get rid of toxins and can help with constipation in particular. It's also beneficial for people who want to take care of their skin. When waste can't leave the body through the bowels or kidneys, it often tries to leave through the skin. Bitters and elderflower can help you get rid of waste better and have healthier skin because elderflower is also a diuretic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e◉ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFighting colds and flu:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e There is evidence that elderberry can help treat colds and flu, even though the studies that have been done so far are small. 60 people who had flu-like symptoms took 15 milliliters (ml) of elderberry syrup four times a day.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTheir symptoms got better 4 days before those who took fake medicine did.
