Ryukakusan

Features

Ryukakusan is a throat medicine whose main ingredients are herbal medicines (platycodon, senega, apricot kernel, and licorice) that activate the cough suppressant and expectorant effects.
The inner surface of the human trachea is covered with ciliated cells, whose cilia constantly vibrate at a speed of about 1,500 times per minute, and secrete mucus from the inner wall of the trachea. Dust, dirt, and bacteria that pass through the airways are absorbed into this mucus and expelled from the body by the vibration of the cilia. This is nature's purification process.
Overuse of the throat, smoking, or breathing in polluted air can cause the throat to become inflamed and sore, and phlegm builds up, weakening the throat's ability to purify the air and causing coughing. If you take Ryukakusan at such times, the active ingredient saponin glycosides in bellflower and senega will increase mucus secretion from the inner surface of the trachea, activate cilia movement, remove phlegm, soothe coughs, and ease inflammation.
