It can
be made into tea and has traditionally been used to soothe sore
throats, and make a person feel much better when he is suffering
from the cold or flu conditions, and relieves respiratory distress.
The flowers are infused for fevers, eruptive skin conditions such as
measles and severe bronchial and lung problems. Elderberry tips tone
the mucous linings of the nose and throat, increasing their
resistance to infections. They are often prescribed for chronic
congestion, allergies, ear infections and candidiasis Elder flowers
are a mild astringent and used to help relieve the symptoms of
eczema, psoriasis and acne.These berries also have laxative and
diuretic properties. Elder berries contain a considerable amount of
vitamins A, B and C and one of the richest sources of anthocyanins.
Anthocyanins stimulate the body's immune response by
promoting the production of lymphocytes that act as a second line of
defense against foreign cells. The berries also contain flavanoids,
tannins, carotenoids and amino acids which assist in relief from
sore throats and the common cold. Flavonoids, including quercetin,
are believed to account for the therapeutic actions of the
elderberry flowers and berries.
These flavanoids include anthocyanins that are
powerful antioxidants and protect cells against damage, according to
test tube studies. According to laboratory research, an extract from
the leaves, combined, inhibits the influenza virus and herpes
simplex virus. The effect on influenza by syrup made from the
berries of the black elderberry has been studied in a small
double-blind trial. People receiving an elderberry extract (2
tablespoon [30 ml] per day for children, 4 tablespoons, ([60 ml] per
day for adults) appeared to recover faster than did those receiving
a placebo. Animal studies have shown the flowers to have
anti-inflammatory properties. These actions have not been verified
in human clinical trials.

Blueberries
Blueberries have 2,400 numerous vitamins, antioxidants,
minerals Blueberries are associated with verous health
benefits including protection against urinary-tract
infections, cancer, age-related health conditions, earth
disease and brain damage from strokes, yet current per
capita consumption is just our cups a year, an amount that
is just one-sixth the amount of strawberries consumed.
In a
previous study on lab rats, old rats fed a diet rich in
blueberries grew neurons, which means the blueberries may play a
role in reversing age-related short-term memory loss. While the
results haven’t been replicated in human trials, another study
on lab rats is further investigating the effects of blueberries.
