Elderberries are used medicinally for catarrh, sore throats, fever and asthma. When cooked with a sweetener into a thick syrup known as a rob they offer the same health benefits. Elderberries are excellent in pies, cobblers, jam, chutney, muffins and puddings. Elderberries are rich in vitamin C, calcium, phosphorus and beta-carotene. The berries may be dried and used in winter. Avoid green, unripe berries. The berries should be cooked before eating, remove the seeds when making jam or wine. Elderberry jam is sometimes served as a alternative to cranberry sauce, accompanying turkey or game. 

Anti catarrhal. The mucus-reducing activity of elder may be due to its high potassium content, but in any case this plant helps to clear up bronchial mucus, hay fever and sinus congestion. Both flowers and berries help to dry up a runny nose. When the flowers are taken before hay fever season they help to lessen its severity. A gargle made of elder blossoms steeped in vinegar can be used to treat sore throats and tonsillitis. Elder has even successfully treated catarrhal deafness and children s croup. A tea made of elder flowers can ease hoarseness and make the voice clear. Parts used flowers, berries. 

For catarrhal conditions, combine either the berries or blossoms with goldenrod (Solidago species), boneset and wild indigo (Baptisia tinctoria).

As regards respiratory apparatus, intoxication is manifested in the development of catarrh of upper air passages and bronchitis with dyspnea, but more often damage is limited to impaired vital capacity of lungs. Affection of gastrointestinal tract is manifested in gastritis and chronic colitis. 

Examination of 13 individuals 5 years after they were occupationally exposed to a chlorine dioxide leak revealed sensitivity to respiratory irritants and nasal abnormalities. Delayed deaths occurred in animals after exposure to 15 0-2 00 ppm for less than 1 hour. Rats exposed daily to 10 ppm died after 10-13 days of exposure effects were nasal and ocular discharge and dyspnea autopsy revealed purulent bronchitis. Another study reported that two to four 15-minute exposures to 5 ppm for 1 month did not alter the blood composition or lung histology of rats similar exposures to 10-15 ppm caused bronchitis, bronchiolitis, catarrhal alveolar lesions, and peribronchial infiltration. Lesions healed within 15 days after treatment. Rats and rabbits exposed for 30 days to 5 or 10 ppm (2 hours/day) had localized bronchopneumonia with elevated leukocyte counts slight reversible pulmonary lesions were found after exposures of 2.5ppm for 4-7 hours/day. No adverse reactions were... 

The pharmacological action of phenylpropanolamine is similar to the action of ephedrine. This sympathomimetic can temporarily elevate blood pressure, and it is used for the same indications as is ephedrine, which is primarily in combination with other drugs for catarrhal illnesses. In addition, it possesses weak central-stimulatory and anorectic action. The primary synonym is norephedrine. 

Gonorrhea. A contagious catarrhal inflammation of the genital mucous membrane, transmitted chiefly by coitus, and resulting from Neisseria gonorrhoeae. 

T raditionally, milk thistle fruits have been used for disorders of the liver, spleen, and gall bladder, such as jaundice and gall bladder colic. Milk thistle has also been used for nursing mothers for stimulating milk production, as a bitter tonic, for hemorrhoids, for dyspeptic complaints, and as a demulcent in catarrh and pleurisy. It is stated to possess hepatoprotective, antioxidant, and choleretic properties (128). Current interest is focused on the hepatoprotective activity of milk thistle and its use for the treatment of liver, spleen, and gall bladder disorders (129). Recently it has been shown that silibinin reduced prostate-specific antigen levels in prostate carcinoma cells lines, indicating a possible role of silibinin in human prostate cancer (130,131).

Inhalation exposure to toluene diisocyanates is irritating to the eyes and respiratory tract, and induced chronic rhinitis, interstitial pneumonia and catarrhal bronchitis after long-term exposure. Respiratory sensitization to toluene diisocyanate developed in guinea-pigs after inhalation but also after dermal exposure (lARC, 1986).
