UKKO Cough tea blend – 100 g

UKKO Cough Tea Blend is a natural combination of selected herbs in a single cup. Its plants, such as ribwort plantain and thyme, have traditionally been used for throat and respiratory complaints accompanied by coughing. We recommend the blend for days of catarrhal, 'sticky' coughs; it's a pleasant, fruity-tasting tea that easily fits into your daily routine.

Can it be consumed during pregnancy?

IMPORTANT – when should you see a doctor? If the cough lasts more than a week, or fever, difficulty breathing, chest pain or discolored phlegm appear, or the complaints get worse, be sure to see your doctor! Cough Tea is a complementary, natural support that is not a substitute for medical treatment.

UKKO Cough Tea Blend is a food product; its use is not a substitute for necessary medical treatment! Not recommended in case of hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients of the blend (e.g. plantain pollen, plants of the mint family – thyme). In case of hypothyroidism or heart complaints, consume with care and after consulting a doctor. Results may vary from person to person.

Effects and benefits:

The plants in the blend have traditionally been used for throat and respiratory complaints accompanied by coughing, mainly by soothing the throat and accompanying cold days.

• Soothing the throat: ribwort plantain is a mucilaginous, coating plant and agrimony is a tannin-containing plant, both traditionally used for a scratchy throat
• A companion for coughing days: thyme and linden flower have traditionally been drunk during catarrhal, cold seasons
• A plant containing antioxidants: hibiscus is a flower with natural vitamin C and antioxidant content

Tips for coughing days

• drink plenty of warm fluids throughout the day
• humidify the air, especially during the heating season
• avoid cigarette smoke and dry, dusty air
• get enough rest and give your body time

About the ingredients:

• Hibiscus: a bright red, pleasantly tart flower; a natural source of vitamin C and antioxidants that adds flavor and color
• Ribwort plantain: a mucilaginous, coating plant traditionally consumed to relieve dryness and scratchiness of the throat and the cough that comes with it
• Linden flower: a pleasant, floral plant traditionally consumed as a sweat-inducing tea during colds

• Thyme: a spice rich in essential oils, traditionally used during days of catarrhal cough
