Boiron Chestal Honey cough syrup works with the body as an expectorant to improve the productivity of a cough instead of working against the body as a suppressant. It’s made with real Acacia honey to soothe the throat and thin mucus. The blend of homeopathic medicines loosens chest congestion and relieves all common coughs that occur with a cold: productive/wet, dry, barking, croupy and night coughs.* Chestal Honey is a multi-symptom day and night formula — calming those dry, fitful coughs at bedtime that prevent sleep, without affecting alertness during the day. It won’t interact with other medications. It is non-habit forming, dye-free, and 99.99% alcohol-free.
Recommended for everyone ages 4 and up, Chestal Honey is available over the counter in a 6.7 fl oz recyclable glass bottle with a dosage cup for 20 doses. Also try Oscillococcinum® for flu symptoms and the ColdCalm® line.
