CHESNIL IVY 120ML SYP

The Glycyrrhiza, Hedera, Mentha Piperita Syrup/Suspension exhibits its effects through the synergistic actions of its constituent components. Glycyrrhiza, commonly known as licorice root, contains glycyrrhizin, which has expectorant and anti-inflammatory properties, helping to loosen mucus and soothe irritated respiratory tissues. Hedera, or ivy leaf extract, acts as a bronchodilator, relaxing the airways and improving airflow to the lungs. Mentha Piperita, peppermint, contributes menthol, which provides a cooling sensation and acts as a mild decongestant, helping to relieve nasal and chest congestion. Together, these ingredients work to alleviate respiratory symptoms by reducing inflammation, thinning and loosening mucus, relaxing bronchial smooth muscles, and providing a soothing effect on the respiratory tract.
