Elder Leaves Herb Cut 75g

Pharma Germania Natural Products Elder Leaves Herb Cut contains the dried leaves of Sambucus nigra, commonly known as Black Elder or European Elder.

Different parts of the Elder plant have historically been used for different purposes. Elder leaves are distinct from Elderflowers and Elderberries and should not be assumed to share the same applications or safety profile.

The leaves have a history of traditional external use in washes, compresses and other preparations intended to support skin comfort and soothe minor external irritation.

Importantly, Elder leaves can contain cyanogenic glycosides, including sambunigrin, which may release hydrogen cyanide. For this reason, unsupervised internal use of Elder leaves is not recommended, and the product should not be treated like Elderflower or Elderberry tea.

• Contains dried Sambucus nigra leaves
• Traditionally used in external herbal preparations
• Traditionally associated with skin comfort

Why Choose Pharma Germania Elder Leaves Herb Cut?

Elder has an extensive history in European herbal traditions, but the plant part matters significantly.

While Elderflowers and properly prepared ripe Elderberries are widely used in herbal products, Elder leaves contain naturally occurring constituents that make their safety profile different.

Elder Leaves are therefore best positioned according to their traditional external applications, rather than promoted as a routine herbal tea or internal wellness product.

Key Ingredient

Warnings & Precautions

Elder leaves should not be confused with Elderflowers or Elderberries.

Elder leaves naturally contain cyanogenic glycosides, which can release hydrogen cyanide. Unsupervised internal consumption is therefore not recommended.

Do not use internally during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless specifically directed by an appropriately qualified healthcare practitioner.

Keep away from children and do not administer internally to children without professional guidance.

For external use, avoid applying preparations to deep wounds, severely damaged skin or suspected skin infections without appropriate medical advice.

Discontinue use if skin irritation, sensitivity or another unexpected reaction occurs.

Seek urgent medical advice if significant nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, dizziness, weakness or other concerning symptoms develop following accidental ingestion.
