What kind of cough does Doctor Mom treat?

The use of plant lozenges Doctor Mom - a symptomatic approach to the treatment of patients with diseases of the respiratory system.

Alone herbal remedy does not provide a full recovery of the patient with the exception of mild forms of tracheitis or laryngitis.
The effectiveness of Doctor Mom cough lozenges is due to the complex effect of the components of the drug:
    Licorice root enhances the secretory function of the bronchial glands. Sputum liquefies and is more easily excreted from the respiratory tract;
    Ginger rhizome extract reduces the activity of the inflammatory process and suppresses the vomiting reflex. Local vasoconstriction with a decrease in the migration of bioactive substances that support the course of pathological reactions is noted;
    the emblica reduces the severity of inflammation and eliminates fever. The fruits additionally contain flavonoids, vitamin C, carotene, trace elements - magnesium, potassium and others. Due to these substances, immunity is nonspecifically strengthened;
