Safety

Elder can have blue, black or red berries depending on the type. Many sources agree that red berried varieties of elder shouldn’t be used, as they are potentially toxic if prepared incorrectly. The bark and inner stems are toxic and should not be used internally.

Actions

Elder is a good example of how different parts of an herb can have very different uses. In this case, the berry, flower and leaf each exhibit distinct properties.

Flower: anticatarrhal, antispasmodic, diuretic, diaphoretic, sedative Berry: antirheumatic, diaphoretic, diuretic, immunomodulator, laxative

Leaf: emollient, vulnerary
