Elderberry is a small blue or black berry that is packed with antioxidants and vitamins that may boost your immune system. It can help tame inflammation, lessen stress, and help protect your heart too. Some recommend elderberry to help prevent and ease cold and flu symptoms. It is also used for constipation, joint and muscle pain, respiratory infections, headaches, fever, kidney problems, epilepsy, and minor skin conditions.
