Great tribute to a wonderful plant! I always suggest elderberry as one of the queen tonics for the winter months. Unlike echinacea which should only be taken to boost your immune system when needed, elderberry is like vitamins for your immune system and can keep you healthier all season long.
I really appreciated that you included the toxic elements in your profile, something that a lot of folks don't take into account. The path to joining forces with the wondrous healing plants nature has given us is first and foremost to get to know them.
