Elderberry

Must be cooked!

the berries, bark, and leaves are poisonous when ingested raw.
easier to just buy or cook the syrup version.

oh and just so we know, Sambucus ebulus (dwarf elder, aka danewort) is a DIFFERENT, more toxic plant. that's the one carrying the ribosome-inactivating protein toxicity and the nephrotoxic extract warnings, not this one..

elderberry juice/syrup is commonly used for the common cold, & flu.
good for common cold, flu, bronchitis, mild respiratory infections, and fever reduction.
i mean it may help reduce symptoms and shorten duration.

used to treat influenza, infections, sciatica, headaches, dental pain, heart pain, and nerve pain, as well as being a laxative and diuretic. i mean, it's mainly a great anti-inflammatory, so it's good at suppressing pain and making you feel better.

high in vitamin C, high in potent antioxidants, boosts immune system big time and is great for lung health. also high in fiber.

leaves are used externally for bruises, sprains, minor skin irritation, and swellings, soothing and is mildly astringent.
never brew the leaves to drink, because raw nigra leaves carry the same cyanogenic toxicity as the raw berries.

reduces gut inflammation, kills some gut pathogens, and has astringent action.
