Sambucus nigra
A member of the honeysuckle family and one of the most popular medicines in eurpoean tradition. 

Elderberries do wondererous job on building the blood, they re-nourish the vasculature, strengthening and opening bloodflow, while replenishing the tissues and the blood.

Elderberries have a cooling effect, due to the diaphoretic action which opens up the the tubes of the body - skin, lungs, colon, kidneys and blood vessels, which improves oxygenation bloodflow perspiration and elimination.  

This is my number one remedy for strengthening and re-building the body following the body having being exerted- through surgery, pregnancy, menstruation, illness, colds & flu;s.

Particularly good for Spasmadic cough's , or any type of sore throat.
