OFF GRID with DOUG and STACY: In this episode Stacy is going over how to make this home remedy. SAMBUCUS NIGRA - BLACK ELDERBERRY
Elderberries pack a very nutritious punch, including minerals like iron, potassium, phosphorous, and copper, as well as vitamins, such as vitamin A, B, and C, proteins, and dietary fiber. Add some of the beneficial organic compounds that function as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agents in the body, and you have one powerful berry!
Some of the most important health benefits of elderberries include their ability to boost immune system function, protect against bacteria and infection, slow down the spread of cancer, moderate the digestive process, prevent the development of diabetes, reduce the pain and speed associated with autoimmune diseases, help with weight loss, lower blood pressure, and alleviate allergies.
A Final Word of Caution: Considering that so few species are edible, it is always wise to find elderberries in a licensed and reputable store OR grow them yourself. Don’t pick wild elderberries and it is suggested to cook all berries before eating, as they may contain dangerous traces of cyanide. Furthermore, being allergic to plants in the honeysuckle family is not uncommon, so be careful about being up-to-date on your food allergies before adding elderberries to your diet. Finally, elderberries are known to act as diuretics for some people, so if you are already struggling with kidney problems, then elderberries may exacerbate them.
