Acting as an antioxidant, black elderberry may protect the body against damage from free radicals. And although the action has not been conclusively proven, elder's long history in promoting sweating and urination may explain why it is believed to 'flush out' colds and flu.

It also has a reputation as an anti-inflammatory, but there is virtually no evidence to support this claim. Specifically, elder flower may help to: Fight flu and feverish colds. Sweating has long been used in many healing traditions to help 'break' a fever. Because elder tends to produce perspiration, it may help the body to shed the viruses that cause colds and flu, although this is unproven.

As drinking lots of fluids is known to hasten the duration of a fever, the diuretic effects of elder might help cold sufferers in a similar way. In a study conducted on 60 adults infected with influenza A or B the treatment group receiving elderberry syrup, showed signs of improvement four days prior to the group receiving a placebo.

The group receiving elderberry syrup also used less medication to combat the symptoms of their illness. The study concluded that elderberry is safe and cost-effective treatment for influenza, however larger trials are needed to prove efficacy in the population at large. Similar results were seen in a trial conducted on an influenza outbreak in Panama. This study revealed that in the group receiving the elderberry extract 93.3% showed significant improvement in flu symptoms and fever after 2 days of starting elderberry extract supplementation. The average time to complete cure of the virus measured 2 to 3 days for the elderberry group versus 6 days for the non-elderberry group. These are promising results scientists are quickly trying to ascertain whether what dosage and what length of treatment will be efficacious for the general public. Control cough. A cup of elder flower tea may help to break up the bronchial secretions of chest colds and relieve coughs.
