How do the ingredients of the medicine work?

The ingredients come from several plants and act as a natural mixture. The ingredients increase blood circulation and loosen mucus in the area of application. Eucalyptus oil also stimulates the fine hairs of the upper respiratory tract 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.

Application

- Colds of the respiratory tract, especially with thick mucusConsult your doctor if you also experience symptoms such as shortness of breath, fever, purulent or bloody sputum.
