Sambucus nigra
The elder tree’s wide variety of medicinal uses have inspired herbalists to nicknam it The Tree of Medicine. Elder's springtime flowers are aromatic, tasty, and cooling. Taken as a hot tea, it is a wonderful diaphoretic, opening the pores to induce sweating. This makes it useful in detoxifying blends and for reducing fevers. Elderflower tea also clears the head and chest congestion that accompany viruses. Its ability to help the body purge toxins through the skin makes it great for eruptive skin conditions and rashes. Elderflower tea or infused oil can be a great addition to your topical skin care regimen; elderflower extract is added to many beauty creams.

"If you want to change your life and overall well-being take the first step and visit the Herb Shoppe. They are so knowledgeable in herbs, flower essences, and everything vital to life. I am so very grateful for this store."
"The herb shoppe is amazing! I had such a positive experience and the staff was so patient and helpful. As a newbie to herbalism and apothecary, it's so refreshing to be guided and helped out without any judgement. Vicky is super awesome and knows so much about herbalism and essential oils. Great selection of herbs and they have some delicious kombucha on tap."
"This place is amazing. The staff there are always very helpful. Reasonable prices for a large selection of herbs, teas, etc. They have smudge sticks and other things too. I am a huge fan of their turmeric chips for my inflammation. It's better than taking ibuprofen, and I can just drop a few chips in my tea."
