Looking for a cough syrup that might actually work? While we're told that none of the over-the-counter remedies are worth the money, one top doctor is using an Ayurvedic treatment that seems to be doing the business.
The remedy, Andrographis paniculata, is being used by Saul Berkovitz, consultant physician at the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital. Not only does it work for the patients for whom he prescribes it, it is also supported by a study that involved 896 patients.
As Berkovitz points out, it’s a successful remedy that other doctors should be advocating, especially at a time when we are over-using antibiotics.
