A recent meta-analysis 1 (a large study combining data from a number of smaller studies which were investigating similar outcomes) assessed the results from a number of trials investigating different herbal cough remedy formulations. To be suitable for inclusion in the meta-analysis, the selected studies were required to have been conducted on humans, and the coughs had to be a symptom of an upper respiratory tract infection or common cold, without other chronic diseases being present. Data from over 1,400 patients was pulled together and analysed. Do not use if you are hypersensitive to ivy, thyme or liquorice or to any of the other ingredients present in Bronchoforce. Do not use if you are already using another product containing liquorice (eg. liquorice confectionery / sweets). If your symptoms worsen or persist for more than one week, a doctor or qualified practitioner should be consulted. If you are short of breath, or experiencing fever, see a doctor.

Fresh spruce shoots contain a volatile oil that is rich in terpenes, an organic compound that has antiseptic, antibacterial and mucolytic properties. This last feature means it can encourage mucus to become liquid in form and therefore easier to move. However, pine shoots also promote the removal of catarrhal congestion from the lungs. Other herbs that frequently prove handy for those suffering from a chesty cough are ivy and thyme. When taken together these two herbs thin mucus to make it easier to expel. However, they also ease spasms in the bronchial tube which helps to reduce the amount of coughing the sufferer experiences.
