The Ancient Magic of the Elder Tree: Traditional Folklore, Medicinal Uses and Recipes of Elderberry
The Elder Tree is surrounded by folklore and tied into the magical traditions of medieval times—invoking the sense that this tree was both loved and feared for its powers. In this day, where superstitions have fallen to the wayside, the Elder Tree is known for its dark elderberries—which instead of spirits, protect us from pathogens. We explore the less widely known uses of elderberry, and the traditional medicinal uses of the flowers, leaves and bark of the Elder. As a special treat we also share 3 traditional elderberry recipes that you can make at home to enjoy the benefits of this incredible berry & gift for the customers of the Dragon Herbarium to help you on your herbal journey.
