SAMBUCUS NIGRA

As prescribed by the physician.

• Sambucus nigra, commonly known as Elder, is a traditional homoeopathic medicine derived from the fresh leaves and flowers of the Elder plant of Caprifoliaceæ family. It is particularly well-suited for respiratory affections, especially in infants and small children. Sambucus acts prominently on the upper airways, providing relief in conditions marked by dry nasal blockage (infantile coryza), spasmodic coughs, and sudden suffocative attacks during sleep. It also addresses profuse sweating disorders, restlessness, and skin puffiness or discoloration.
