Sambucus is a great whooping cough and acute asthma remedy, in which the person wakes up at night from the cough with an intense feeling of suffocating and being unable to exhale. These attacks tend to be worst at 2 or 3 a.m. The person cannot lie down but instead feels better from sitting up or needs to get out of bed and walk around. It is interesting to know that the juice of black elder is used to lose weight. |
