Helps the body expel mucus or catarrh from the chest
Made from freshly harvested Ivy and Thyme
Contains Liquorice root
Chesty coughs can accompany colds or flu. They may come about as soon as the infection starts and could linger for long periods after the viruses have left your system. Herbal remedies have a long tradition of use in treating chesty coughs. Today, they are increasingly being chosen by people who prefer to use natural medicines and those wishing to avoid the use of synthetic cough remedies.
Bronchoforce Chesty Cough is a herbal remedy designed for the relief of chesty coughs, mucus coughs and catarrh. It helps relieve chesty coughs resulting from excess mucus or catarrh in the respiratory tract.
What is Bronchoforce?
Bronchoforce is a herbal remedy containing extracts of liquorice and freshly harvested Ivy and Thyme. At A.Vogel, we insist that only freshly picked Ivy and Thyme are used to make Bronchoforce. This ensures that the remedy obtained contains the active ingredients* that help relieve a chesty cough.
*Tobler M, et al. Characteristics of whole fresh plant extracts. Schweizerische Zeitschrift fur GanzheitsMedizin, 1994.
Dosage of Bronchoforce
Bronchoforce may be used by children (over 12 years of age), adults and the elderly. Take 20 drops 3 to 5 times daily.
This herbal remedy is for oral use only. Do not take more than the recommended dose.
Ingredients
1 ml of oral liquid contains:
376mg of tincture from fresh ivy herb (Hedera helix L.)
329mg of tincture from fresh aerial parts of thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.)
234 mg of tincture from liquorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.)
Bronchoforce also contains Star Anise oil and Eucalyptus oil.
Is this the right product for me?
Use Bronchoforce if you are suffering from a chesty cough, also known as a mucus cough or a hacking cough. This herbal remedy helps lift mucus from the respiratory tract making it easier to expel from the body. Bronchoforce is the right remedy for you if you are experiencing catarrh or mucus in the throat or deeper down in your chest, with the feeling that you need to cough it up. It is also the right remedy if you are experiencing coughing spasms as your body tries to expel mucus.
If you have a tickly cough, Bronchosan Tickly Cough Syrup may be more suitable for you to use. Bronchosan soothes a tickly throat or one which is irritated due to coughing.
It is unlikely that you would need both remedies at the same time, but occasionally you might want to soothe the irritation in your throat with Bronchosan whilst Bronchoforce gets to work bringing up the mucus from your chest.
Who can’t take Bronchoforce
Do not use if you are hypersensitive to ivy, thyme or liquorice or to any of the other ingredients present in Bronchoforce
Do not use if you are already using another product containing liquorice (eg. liquorice confectionery / sweets)
If your symptoms worsen or persist for more than one week, a doctor or qualified practitioner should be consulted
If you are short of breath, or experiencing fever, see a doctor
If your sputum is foul smelling, see a doctor
Liquorice confectionery or medicines should be used with caution in those suffering from high blood pressure, kidney, liver or heart disease and those suffering from a low potassium level in their blood
Bronchoforce may be taken by people suffering from asthma. However, please bear in mind the following:
Coughs may be a sign of worsening asthma so if your cough does not improve with treatment, speak to your doctor
People with asthma may be more prone to allergies. These could be caused by a variety of triggers including foods, medicines as well as herbs. If this is your experience, you may wish to start off by trying a small dose of Bronchoforce (say 5 drops) to see if you are allergic to the herbs present which are Ivy, Thyme and liquorice
Side effects
Like all medicines, this product can cause side effects although not everybody gets them.
The following minor side effects can occur, although the likelihood of these occurring (frequency) is unknown:
Digestive symptoms such as nausea and vomiting
Skin reactions such as a rash or itching
There have been isolated reports of side effects occurring with use of products (including confectionery) containing liquorice such as low blood potassium levels, irregular heartbeat and high blood pressure. These however, have not been seen with use of Bronchoforce.
If any of the side effects become serious, or if you notice any side effects not listed above, please tell your doctor or pharmacist. | A.Vogel Stinging Nettle Urtica Drops, formerly Urtica Tincture, contains flavonoids which have a diuretic action helping to alleviate nettle rash and other skin complaints.
Stinging Nettle, Urtica dioca, increases the excretion of chlorides, uric acid and other acid metabolites from the body, which may help to alleviate the symptoms associated with gout and arthritis. The same cleansing action is of value in chronic skin conditions, especially the itchy complaints such as eczema and nettle rash, where it also appears to possess an anti-allergic action.
An acute attack of gout occurs as a result of uric acid crystals being deposited in joint tissues. This occurs most predominantly at the base of the big toe, but gout can affect any joint of the body.
White blood cells ingest these crystalline deposits, releasing enzymes which then cause inflammation. The detoxifying and cleansing action of Urtica eliminates the crystals. This same mechanism explains the benefits of using Stinging Nettle in those with rheumatism and arthritis.
Stinging Nettle has an antihistamine-type effect and may be of benefit in allergic conditions such as urticaria and hayfever.
Menopausal women may also find Stinging Nettle to be helpful in reducing hot flushes and night sweats. Stinging Nettle is also nutritionally rich in many vitamins and minerals and is often considered to be an excellent blood tonic.
Recent studies show that nettle extracts inhibit the synthesis of inflammatory prostaglandins and other compounds such as histamine thus decreasing inflammation. This may be of particular value in cases such as prostate enlargement where the inflammation needs to be reduced as well as easing the flow of urine.

Yarrow Complex is a herbal digestive tonic containing bitter and aromatic herbs. This supplement has a wide spectrum of action and may be used in many common gastrointestinal complaints to stimulate digestion. One of the key features of this remedy is its bitter action. A bitter substance stimulates certain taste buds in the mouth to increase salivary flow. More importantly, it increases digestive enzymes through a reflex action mediated via the autonomic nervous system.
This action improves the function of the organs responsible for the first part of the digestive process, enabling the body to utilise food and absorb minerals more effectively. An increase in digestive enzymes also helps poor appetite, indigestion, food intolerances, leaky gut syndrome, colic, wind and bloating.
How does Yarrow Complex work?
- Bitter tonic
- Carminative
- Antispasmodic

- Stimulates secretion of bile
Benefits and uses of A.Vogel Yarrow Complex:
- Contains ‘digestive’ herbs
