Background and Use

The Pacific Northwest is known for its long cold wet winters. This damp season is notorious for colds, flu and respiratory infections. Fortunately, our local herbs in the Northwest are plentiful and many of them have been used traditionally during the winter season. 

Elderberry is found throughout Europe, Asia, North Africa, and has been naturalized in the United States. The tree has been called "the medicine chest of the common people. The flowers, leaves, berries, bark and roots have all been used in traditional folk medicine for centuries. Elderberry was used by Native Americans in traditional winter season remedies to support the immune system. Elderberries are concentrated sources of anthocyanins, potent purple pigments that appear to benefit health in a number of ways.

At the Bundesforschungsanstalt research center for food in Germany, scientists conducting studies on Elderberry showed that Elderberry anthocyanins enhance immune function by boosting the production of cytokines. These unique cytokine proteins act as messengers in the immune system to help regulate immune response, thus helping the immune system.

Western Red Cedar was used by several native North American peoples especially during the damp northwest winters. The genus (Thuja) is commonly used in homeopathic medicine.

Oregon Grape is A golden yellow root native to Pacific Northwestern forests that has a history of herbal use dating back to early aboriginal tribes. This root contains berberine, the primary alkaloid found in Goldenseal, thus making it a valuable substitute for the over-harvested Goldenseal plant. It was highly valued by the Eclectic physicians at the turn of the century and is becoming popular once more as people seek an alternative to the scarce Goldenseal.

The name "Boneset" is derived from its traditional use to relieve deep bone pain associated with dengue fever as evidenced by Native Americans and early European settlers. The western settlers considered it a panacea and the Eclectic physicians used Boneset to treat the 1918 influenza epidemic. Boneset was included in the United States Pharmacopoeia from 1820 to 1916 and the National Formulary from 1926 to 1950.
