How do the ingredients of the medicine work?

The ingredients come from several plants and act as a natural mixture. All three 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.
The active ingredient menthol dissolves tough mucus particles, combats inflammation, relaxes cramped muscles and stimulates blood circulation. Patients with colds can breathe more freely again; unpleasant chesty coughs disappear and sore throats and hoarseness are soothed.
