Snail syrup, prepared according to an ancient recipe from the Bavarian Alps, indicated for the treatment of dry cough and to soothe irritation of the oro-pharyngeal mucosa, as well as its associated disorders, such as sore throat, difficulty swallowing and hoarseness. Snail syrup also aids expectoration. The original snail syrup contains mucus, which forms a protective film over irritated mucous membranes effectively soothing a dry cough. The mucous membrane can thus regenerate and sore throat, difficulty swallowing and hoarseness quickly relieve.
