Black elderberry fruits and flowers are included in many herbal remedies for digestive issues, as a diuretic, and to promote lactation. Elderberry is also used by women who have undergone breast cancer surgery. It demonstrably combats oxygen deficiency in organs and tissues. Its phenocarboxylic acids contribute to its powerful anti-inflammatory properties and help reduce swelling. Black elderberry is a known antipyretic (fever-reducing), diaphoretic (sweat-inducing), and expectorant (phlegm-loosening) agent. Aqueous extracts possess antiviral properties, and the berries can help remove radionuclides and heavy metal salts from the body. Externally, elderflower infusions are applied as compresses for skin infections, diaper rash, and burns. Traditionally, elderflower decoctions and fresh berries are used as diuretics, anthelmintics (to expel worms), and in the treatment of gout and rheumatism. In gynecology, black elderberry berry decoctions are used for douching, while a tea made from young leaves and berries acts as a laxative. For dry coughs, infusions and teas made from elderflowers help to thin mucus. Elderflower infusions are also used as a gargle for pharyngitis, tonsillitis, angina, and stomatitis. Elderberry syrup is sometimes used to suppress coughs associated with lung cancer. Finally, the skin of fresh elderberries can be applied topically in a thin layer to treat acne.
