The LEKRASET formula is built on a combination of several plants, and each of them is traditionally added to chest blends for certain properties:
- Liquorice root — contains plant substances that are traditionally associated with thinning thick mucus and making it easier to clear.
- Coltsfoot leaves — known for their mild coating effect: they help reduce the feeling of irritation of the mucous membranes.
- Plantain — has long been used in herbal mixtures for the throat and bronchi thanks to its soothing properties.
- Peppermint — gives the infusion freshness and makes the taste more pleasant, and also softens the sensation of a scratchy throat.
What makes this particular blend special is the classic combination of herbs that has long been used in herbal medicine for discomfort in the upper respiratory tract. The components matter here not individually but as a familiar plant combination for a warm infusion. The blend is not used in case of hypersensitivity to liquorice or other plants in the formula.
