This is a cough syrup designed to encourage the release of mucous.  We take a teaspoon of this several times a day when we feel a cold coming on.  It makes us feel warm and comforted too!

​

As with all herbal products, please ensure that you consult with your doctor if you are on any medicines.  Do not give this to children under 12 months.
