This is a bitter substance that counteracts cramping cough attacks.

You can use black cumin oil for metabolic allergies, hay fever and any kind of asthma.

Black Currant Extract

Blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum) is a blessing for many hay fever patients. It has an anti-inflammatory effect and acts quickly like cortisone, but has no side effects. The active ingredients of the black currant also have the ability to regulate our immune system in case of “malfunction”. This regulatory ability provides relief from various allergies, hay fever, eczema, as well as asthma, bronchitis or chronic inflammation.
