Coughing is the body’s way of responding to irritants such as foreign material or mucous in your throat and airways. While occasional cough is normal and healthy, a persistent one which lasts several days or weeks and one which brings discolored or bloody phlegm may indicate a condition that needs to be checked by a doctor.
Here in the Philippines, whether rainy or summer season, due to the ever changing weather and temperature, a family member may get the cough bug at one point in time. There are self-care measures to ease cough like using the a vaporizer to moisturize the air or simply by taking a hot, steamy shower. Drinking warm fluids, such as broth, or lemon juice and honey also help thin phlegm and soothe the throat.
Adults may also take lozenges, though not advised to be given to a child under 3 due to choking hazard. Of course we can take a cough syrup to combat those colds and cough. I remember, years ago, back home in the province, whenever we get cough, my lola would always prepare a concoction from the many medicinal shrubs in our backyard. For us here living in the metro, as we have no source to make that concoction, no fret as we can have safe and natural way to get the same treatment.
Lagundi leaf (Vitex negundo L.), a herbal product extensively studied and trusted by the Department of Health. Developed by a group of Filipino scientists, only uses indigenous lagundi plants, making it truly and proudly a Filipino product.
Lagundex, a brand of Lagundi leaf, is guaranteed safe as it strictly complies with the manufacturing requirements of the Philippine Food and Drug Administration. It is manufactured under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) with certified facilities to ensure its quality and efficacy.
We are luck that we do not have to go through the hassle of searching for the lagundi leaves and preparing the medicinal drink. We can easily get Lagundex syrup, in leading drugstores, which are safe for both kid and adult use. It comes in sweet orange and peppermint flavors suited for kids, while for adults, it comes in soothing mint flavor. It is also available in tablet form which are ideal for adults.
