Product Overview

Borstol Peppermint Cough Syrup is a trusted, traditional remedy widely used in South Africa for the symptomatic relief of persistent coughs and respiratory discomfort. Based on a 75-year-old heritage recipe, this 100ml syrup is specifically formulated to address "troublesome" coughs often associated with colds, influenza, and bronchitis. It combines several botanical extracts with expectorant properties to help thin and loosen mucus, making it easier to expel, while the refreshing peppermint flavor provides an immediate soothing sensation for irritated throats.

What the Product Is Used For

  • Wet & Productive Coughs: Helps clear the chest by breaking down and loosening stubborn mucus.
  • Throat Irritation & Hoarseness: Soothes the "scratchy" feeling in the throat that lead to coughing fits.
  • Respiratory Support: Eases symptoms associated with bronchitis and the common flu.
  • Nasal Congestion: The aromatic ingredients like camphor and peppermint provide a mild clearing effect for the sinuses.

Key Benefits

  • Expectorant Action: Contains Ammonium Chloride and Senega to help move phlegm out of the airways.
  • Refreshing Taste: The peppermint flavor makes it more palatable than many traditional herbal syrups.
  • Traditional Heritage: A reputable "old school" brand known for consistent and reliable results.
  • Soothing Relief: Provides a "cooling" embrace that calms an itchy or burning throat almost immediately.
  • Cost-Effective: An affordable over-the-counter solution available at most major retailers and pharmacies.

Active Ingredients

Each 10 ml of the emulsion typically contains:

  • Ammonium Chloride (29 mg): An expectorant that helps thin and loosen mucus.
  • Inf. Senegae Conc. (0.1666 ml): A traditional herbal extract used to treat respiratory tract inflammation.
  • Camphor Spirit (0.2135 ml): Provides a mild cooling and decongestant effect.
  • Gum Turpentine (0.3125 ml): Traditionally used to help clear respiratory congestion.
  • Inf. Buchu Conc. (0.0572 ml): A South African botanical often used for its antiseptic and soothing properties.
  • Ethyl Alcohol (Approx. 15% v/v): Acts as a solvent for the herbal extracts.
