Elderflower (Sambucus) is an incredibly versatile

Now the period of flowering is the elder tree. During my walk, I felt his divine smell from afar. Elder belongs to the genus of shrubs and low trees. It grows along the clearings or on the edge of the forest. Already in the past said the plant has been associated with many superstitions. Once upon a time, people believed that the elder living good ghosts who care for the welfare and safety of people. Elderflower has many medicinal properties. Elderflowers are excellent for cleansing the body, as well as help with coughs, flu, compaction fever, pneumonia, colds, and asthma. That’s why I decided to pick up the elderflowers I will dry and use for tea.

  1. I stayed with someone in London a long time ago who told me about the healing properties of elderflowers.
    We don’t have elderflowers or elderberries in Auckland and Im not sure if they live in the South Island or not.
    It is too warm in Auckland for those trees, but I am interested in them
