Traditional  Context:  Historically  employed  in  homeopathy  for  respiratory,  febrile,  and. psychological disorders, particularly those involving suffocative dyspnea, fever, and anxiety.

Modern Context : Indicated for  respiratory conditions  (e.g., asthma, croup, acute respiratory. distress), febrile conditions (e.g., influenza, fever with chills), and psychological conditions (e.g.,. generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder). It suits patients with acute or chronic symptoms. characterized by suffocative dyspnea, nasal obstruction, dry cough, fever with chills, anxiety, or. night aggravation, typically exacerbated by lying down, dry heat, night, or stress, and often seen in. individuals with sensitive, nervous constitutions.

A decoction of the leaves is some times used by gardeners to keep caterpillars \noff delicate plants. \nGreen noted that sheep that have the rot can be cured by letting them eat the bark and young leaves of Samb. \n \n \nHerbalists use the inner bark, as well as the leaves, to make an ointment. The flowers serve for fomentations \nor are made into a medicinal tea. According to the Treasury of Botany, the berries are the principal ingredient \nin elderberry wine. \nMillspaugh said that the bark contains viburnic acid, which is identical with valerianic acid.
