How do the ingredients of the medicine work?

The ingredients come from several plants and act as a natural mixture. They increase blood circulation and loosen mucus in the area of application. Eucalyptus also stimulates the fine hairs of the upper airways to move more quickly. This allows stuck mucus to be removed more effectively and makes it easier to cough up. It also reduces coughing spasms. The ingredients of pine are also said to have a mild bactericidal effect.

Application
