Take a breath
As winter approaches, we find it hard to breathe. Our throats, noses and bronchial tubes are often clogged with mucus and this can lead to common infections such as colds, flu or more serious ones such as bronchitis. But what can trigger this production of mucus and what can we do to clear out our airways?
WHAT IS AIRWAY CONGESTION?
Airway congestion is a condition that gives you a sensation of pressure into the chest.
It is caused by an excess of mucus produced by our mucous glands.
The mucus is then accumulated into airways and obstructs our respiratory tractus, preventing air from circulating properly.
CAUSE AND SYMPTOMS
The overproduction of mucus is an automatic response from the immune system after detection of a pathogen.
Indeed, when a virus or a bacteria enters our respiratory tractus, it is trapped before entering our body by the mucus naturally produced by our airways.
This phenomenon leads to an inflammation, which activates the immune system. Afterward, the mucosal glands are producing an extra amount of mucus in order to block the pathogen responsible of the inflammation. The mucus is then expelled from the throat with the help of fine hairs along the nasal cavity and trachea or it can be swallowed in the stomach.
Coughing is a useful mechanism to expel this excess mucus.
FOCUS IRATI AIRWAY GUMMIES
IRATI airway gummies are designed to relieve and help decongesting the respiratory tractus.
Indeed, they are composed by an essential oil of eucalyptus known to be a good antiviral, an extract of sage and mint which allow to soothe the airways. The formula is also containing vitamin B6 which contributes to the good functioning of the immune system and hyaluronic acid which allows to lubricate the mucous membranes.

Honey has antibacterial and antifungal properties: it’s ideal if you’ve got a sore throat, a cold and are congested with mucus. Honey deposits a protective layer in your throat. This reduces irritation and allows the affected mucous membranes to recover.
