Elderberry shows promise for arthritis
Efficacy and short-term safety of topical Dwarf Elder (Sambucus ebulus L.) versus diclofenac for knee osteoarthritis: A randomized, double-blind, active-controlled trial.
Relevant but not isolated effect
We explored the effectiveness of Dwarf Elder, or Sambucus ebulus, in treating knee osteoarthritis (OA) by conducting a randomized, double-blind clinical trial. In this study, we compared topical S. ebulus gel to a 1% diclofenac gel, known for its anti-inflammatory properties. Seventy-nine patients participated, applying the treatment three times a day for four weeks.

Throughout the trial, we measured changes in knee pain using a visual analogue scale and assessed functional improvements with the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) questionnaire.

Our findings suggest that topical S. ebulus gel might effectively ease knee OA symptoms. However, we noted that further research with larger groups is essential to confirm the long-term efficacy and safety of this natural remedy. Overall, while the initial results are promising, more extensive trials will provide a clearer perspective on the true potential of elderberry in managing knee osteoarthritis.

Arthritis completely gone
I've taken this for a year alongside other supplements, and my whole-body arthritis is gone. I can't attribute it solely to elderberry, but I've committed to staying on it as recommended by my health practitioner.
