Our Certified Organic, Food Grade Elderflower is a great addition to your DIY projects.
Elderflower - sambucus nigra - or elderberry - is a traditional remedy that’s been used medicinally for hundreds of years to treat flu, allergies and boost the health of the respiratory system.
Elderflower is used for swollen sinuses (sinusitis), colds, influenza (flu), bronchitis, diabetes, and constipation. It is also used to increase urine production (as a diuretic), to increase sweating (as a diaphoretic), and to stop bleeding. Elderflower is also used as a gargle and mouthwash for coughs, colds, hoarseness (laryngitis), flu, and shortness of breath. It is used on the skin for joint pain(rheumatism), and pain and swelling (inflammation).
Some people put elderflower in the eyes for red eyes.In combination with gentian root, verbena, cowslip flower, and sorrel, elderflower is used for maintaining healthy sinuses and treating sinusitis. In foods and beverages, elderflower is used as a flavouring component.

Our botanicals are not treated with Ionised Radiation when they arrive into Australia.
In Australia there a few types of treatment that food can undergo on entry in Australia. Ionised Irradiation and Heat Treatment or Steam Sterilisation, are what is typically used should a product require treatment.
Whilst it is true that some products can be treated with ionised irradiation at entry into Australia and deemed safe by the FSANZ, the botanicals we sell have not undergone irradiation.
In line with the Food Standards Australia and New Zealand any product that has undergone such treatment needs to have the logo displayed and labelled as such so consumers can make educated decisions about the products they purchase."
We do not sell products that have undergone irradiation treatment however from time to time heat treatment is necessary on some products, most commonly spices. Steam Sterilisation is used to eliminate micro organisms that might exist in the product and is widely used in the food industry to ensure no bacteria exists in the product prior to consumption.
Products are inspected by AQIS at entry into Australia and put under direction for treatment should it be needed.
