Sambucus nigra cream for medicinal use

Sambucus nigra cream

Sambucus nigra cream is a topical herbal preparation made from the berries of the European elder tree, often combined with other herbs and a base such as beeswax or shea butter.

It is used in herbalism to soothe skin irritations, reduce inflammation, and promote healing due to its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. The cream may be applied to wounds, rashes, or insect bites to aid in the recovery process. It is also sometimes used to alleviate symptoms of colds and flu when applied externally.

However, it should be used with caution, as some parts of the elder plant can be toxic if not properly prepared.
