Flavonoids found in elderberry fruit and flowers help regulate the thermoregulatory center in the human brain. The diaphoretic effect of elderberry is of great importance in treating infections that are accompanied by high fever.

Triterpenes found in elderberry stimulate the production of watery secretions in the respiratory system, which greatly facilitates expectoration.

Rutoside, a flavonoid compound found in elderberry flowers, helps seal blood vessels and reduces their permeability. Elderberry is therefore recommended for people struggling with broken capillaries and small varicose veins in the lower limbs.

Heat treatment of black elderberry or drying eliminates the harmful effects of this substance.
