I only tried Ascof Lagundi Cough Medicine when a couple of free samples were given at our workplace. I had about 3 samples of this taken home about 3 months ago. It was not me who used the product, but we gave it to my niece who was only 5 years old. We asked her pediatrician if this so called herbal medicine can be given to her, and she said that this is a natural cough syrup that can be taken in by both young children and adults. My niece took the cough syrup and though she said it had an unfamiliar but pleasant taste, it was okay. With her first 2 days of taking in this medicine, immediately we noticed some good effects because her what used to be dry and rough cough became less evident and we never heard her cough during the nights too. Ascof cough syrup’s main ingredient was the Lagundi leaves. This leave as its main component has proven to be really effective and I found many testimonials all over the net about its help for curing coughs, fever and sometimes even toothaches. This Ascof medicine has many other variants, produced by Altermed; they have Ascof tablets and teas too. This product, since it is new in the market and is not yet very popularly known is always available in drugstores and small pharmacies. With the wonderful and effectiveness of this product, we always make sure we have a bottle ready at home for my niece, who always experience coughs due to too much eating of chocolate. We do not have to worry too about her taking in this medicine because it is herbal.
ReplyDeleteMixing Sambong and Lagundi leaves 50/50 produces a strangely pleasant infusion, most especially when cold.
