Loquat Syrup

The syrup is made according to a traditional folk recipe and is composed of herbs that act to stop coughing of various causes. Further indicated for a scratchy throat, hoarseness, vocal cord soreness after prolonged speaking or singing, bronchitis with mucus and the inability to cough it up, and chronic cough with difficult expectoration, such as smoker's cough. Most effective for irritating cough with difficult expectoration of thick mucus, or for dry unproductive cough. Thanks to its pleasant taste, it is especially suitable for children. Loquat leaves are among the best-known natural cough remedies in Asia. During treatment of cough and congestion we strongly recommend stopping consumption of sweets and dairy products. The main ingredient of the mixture is leaves from the Japanese loquat. This already well-known tree is very widespread in Asia, prized especially for its sweet fruit resembling small pears. The tree blooms in winter and the fruit ripens in spring, similarly to cherries here. Loquat jam is a treat for children. The leaves of the loquat are no less remarkable than its fruit. They rank among the best-known herbal drugs for cough, noted for their anti-inflammatory action; they also help with intoxication and depression. Because in Chinese medicine a single medicinal herb is rarely used alone, Loquat Syrup also contains several herbs. Particularly important is the bulb of Fritillaria thunbergii, which is considered a proven partner of loquat leaves in cough preparations. The other supporting herbs complement the syrup so that it has a comprehensive effect on cough of various origins – decongestant, anti-inflammatory, regeneration and moisturisation of the airways, suppression of cough and possibly even gag reflex.

For best results, take Loquat Syrup half an hour before meals, washed down with water. During treatment of cough and congestion we strongly recommend stopping consumption of sweets and dairy products.
