Bronchosan Pine Cough Syrup

Cough syrups have long been used to help ease and soothe irritation in the respiratory tract.

Made from extracts of freshly harvested pine shoots, Bronchosan Pine Cough Syrup can be used to relieve dry, tickly and irritating coughs. Bronchosan also contains honey which not only gives the product a sweet, pleasant taste, it soothes the throat too. The addition of concentrated pear juice further adds to the syrups pleasing taste.

Bronchosan is one of Alfred Vogel’s oldest remedies. It is a cough syrup containing the extracts of freshly harvested pine (or spruce) shoots as well as honey. Young pine shoots, picked in spring when the needles are still green and soft, have been used for many decades as a traditional remedy for dry, tickly or irritating coughs.
