Dr. Christopher's Respiratory Syrup is essential for acute or lingering coughs. We've found that our lungs really feel under attack this year, especially with weekly trips into Salt Lake City where the inversions are pretty bad. While I prefer to drink my Happy Lungs tea all day until the cough is gone, or preventively in bad-air conditions, frequent travel has made my tea-making a little difficult!
So to make things easier, I ordered a couple bottles of Respiratory Syrup and Lung & Bronchial formula. I have found that the Respiratory Syrup quickly (within minutes!) helps my coughs be more productive and clear up any heaviness or "crackling" in my lungs. It is fairly strong tasting due to the garlic and apple cider vinegar, but for an adult this makes it a great tool to quickly turn-around lung congestion.
In comparison, the Lung & Bronchial extract is neutral tasting and easily taken by adults, children, and even babies as a daily lung tonic or for an acute condition. I first used it during a winter where my 2nd child had a particularly rough cough that had lasted for months and kept everybody up at night (we live in close quarters!)... after consistent dosing for a couple of weeks, the cough cleared up beautifully and any other illness he had that year did not develop back into that bad chronic cough. During that healing time, he also took Herbal Throat Syrup to soothe his poor throat that had been inflamed by the chronic cough.
