Elder Bark.. What do I have in mind for it?

This is the teaser.. After trimming out some branches on my elder bushes, I am currently drying up the bark after removing it off the branches.. What can you use elder bark for? and out of those uses (cuz, I know those that are interested just googled LOL) which one are these planned for?

      That’s quite the list of uses; it’s right up there with Stinging Nettle on the “Must Haves” for an herbal garden. Awesome!: )
