What are the benefits and effects of elderberries?
1. Reducing swelling
Eating elderberries raw after washing them, or taking them after decocting them into a medicinal soup, can help treat conditions such as bodily edema.
2. Stopping bleeding
They have a very good hemostatic effect. When there is bleeding from a wound, simply crushing them and applying them to the bleeding area can effectively relieve the bleeding symptoms.
3. Diuresis
They have a diuretic effect. Taking them can stimulate the digestive system and help with urination.
4. Pain relief
They have a good pain-relieving ability. When headache symptoms occur, taking them can noticeably reduce these symptoms.
5. Promoting blood circulation and resolving blood stasis
When a person is injured and develops swelling and pain, they can be applied externally to promote blood circulation and resolve blood stasis. It is best to use them together with drugs that have similar effects, such as Sichuan angelica, as this works better.
