Zdravnitza Elderflower Syrup Concentrate is an aromatic syrup made with elderflowers (Sambucus nigra), designed to be diluted before drinking. The flowers of the black elder are traditionally valued for their delicate, creamy-white blossoms and have been used for generations to prepare homemade syrups, herbal infusions and refreshing drinks.
Elderflowers are well known in traditional European herbal practice, particularly for their use during the colder months. They have a long history of traditional use in certain herbal preparations intended to relieve the early symptoms of the common cold. This traditional use relates to specific herbal preparations and does not mean that this syrup is a medicinal product or that it treats influenza, the common cold or coughs.
Elderflower (Sambucus nigra) - Tradition and Natural Aroma:
Black elder (Sambucus nigra) is a shrub or small tree widely found throughout Europe. In spring and early summer, it produces distinctive clusters of small, creamy-white flowers with a delicate, recognisable fragrance.
In traditional herbal practice, elderflowers are used in various preparations, including herbal infusions and liquid preparations associated with relieving the early symptoms of the common cold. The traditional use of certain elderflower preparations has been assessed by the European Medicines Agency, although the available clinical evidence remains limited.
