3. For Antioxidant & Anti-Inflammatory Support

  • How to use: Use cooled elder flower tea as a facial toner or add to baths for irritated skin.


6. For Fever & Detoxification (Elder Flowers)

  • Elder flowers promote gentle sweating to help the body move through fevers and clear toxins.

  • How to use: Elder flower tea (hot, with honey and lemon) during feverish illnesses.


Typical Dosages

  • Syrup: 1–2 tsp daily for prevention; up to 1–2 tsp every 2–3 hours when sick.

  • Tea: 1–2 tsp dried berries or flowers per cup of boiling water, steep 15 min, 2–3x daily.

  • Tincture: 30–60 drops up to 3x daily.
