How Do Pulmonary Herbals Work?

Pulmonary herbals are natural supplements beneficial in treating respiratory tract disorders. 

They work by:

• Loosening phlegm thereby relieving cough and bronchitis
• Killing infection-causing bacteria
• Reducing inflammation to relieve respiratory problems
• Stimulating cough reflex and increasing mucus production within the respiratory tract
• Reducing bronchial muscle contraction, thereby improving breathing and promoting circulation
• Suppressing excess cough

Pulmonary herbals may be effective in treating:

• Bronchitis
• Cough and cold
• Sore throat
• Upper respiratory tract inflammation
• Sinusitis

Although most pulmonary herbals are safe, some of them may occasionally cause the following side effects:

• Gastrointestinal problems
• Bleeding
• Swelling of lips
• Convulsions 
• Headache
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Irregular heart rate
• Rash
• Allergic reactions
