EXAMINATION OF THE QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION OF MACRO AND MICROELEMENTS OF THE BARK OF SAMBUCUS NIGRA L.

Medicinal properties of Sambucus nigra L. are very versatile, so it is considered one of the oldest medicinal plant species. Along with chamomile, there is probably no other plant that has become as popular as Sambucus nigra L. Sambucus nigra L. grows as a shrub or tree 3 to 10 m high. The bark is light brown on the lower part of the tree and gray-white towards the top, slightly furrowed and warty-dotted. The subject of this work is the examination of qualitative and quantitative composition of the tree and thicker branches of Sambucus nigra L.
