Flora Force Herbal Cough Mixture

Coughing and a sore chest is one of those unpleasant respiratory symptoms that can keep you up all night. Flora Force Herbal Cough Mixture eases up respiratory symptoms such as congestion and irritated air passages, while loosening up mucous and opening your airways so you can breathe more easily. It is also extremely soothing for sore throats and chests that have been coughing non-stop. This formula contains Pelargonium, a local traditional herbal medicine that fights infection and inflammation by acting as a natural antibiotic. You can use Flora Force Herbal Cough Mixture safely if you are taking part in sports or are diabetic, and for your kids too.
