Lung Support
Bronchial Support is a good product to assist those and support an irritating bronchial cough, and may assist with relief of symptoms of a cough. A cough is a distressing symptom in many respiratory conditions. It is a normal reflex, being an attempt by the body to eliminate foreign objects from the respiratory tract.
In clinical practice, most coughs are commonly caused by:
- Bacterial or viral infections which if severe can lead to acute bronchitis.
- A smoker's cough
- A chronic cough which results from lung disease - for example, chronic bronchitis, emphysema and bronchiectasis.

Common Ivy Ivy is an example of a herb which exerts an expectorant action on the respiratory tract. It does this by a reflex, irritative action on the stomach due to its saponin constituents. Expectorants encourage the 'loosening' and elimination of mucus from the respiratory tract. These substances are beneficial in catarrhal conditions and chronic inflammatory bronchial disease. Ivy also has antispasmodic properties, helping to prevent and relieve coughing spasms.
Thyme The primary active components of Thyme are the volatile oils, especially thymol. These act locally on the lungs as they are eliminated from the body by the respiratory tract, disinfecting the airways, relaxing bronchial spasm and exerting a mucolytic action (decreases the viscosity of mucus). These actions are of benefit in bronchitis, hacking coughs and catarrh.
Liquorice is an old favourite, added as much for its flavour as its medicinal action. It acts as an expectorant and helps calm the cough reflex and reduces bronchial spasm.
