The combination

NEELS ASTHMA TEA is a combination of Carnellia Sinesis (Tea) and Adathoda Vasica, Adathoda Vasica or sinhasya in Sankrit means “lion mouthed” from the shape of its flowers.

How it works

Adathoda Vasica contains alkaloids, vasicine and vasicinone that provide relief from cough, asthma and bronchitis.

Adathoda Vasica as a bronchodilator

A bronchodilator is a substance that dilates the bronchi and bronchioles, decreasing airway resistance and thereby facilitating airflow. During an Asthma episode the respiratory passages get congested with excess mucus which obstructs free flow of air. The alkaloid Vasicinone, the auto-oxidation product of vasicine has been reported to cause bronchodilatory effects.

Adathoda Vasica as an anti-allergen

An asthma attack is typically caused by a trigger. A trigger is an external agent such as dust, pollen etc which induce irritation in the respiratory tract thereby causing constriction of airway passages. These irritants are called as allergens. Vasicine; an active alkaloid present in Adathoda Vasica is an effective anti-allergen and is also known to offer significant protection against histamine-induced bronchospasm.

NEELS ASTHMA TEA contains no artificial flavours, preservatives or chemicals and hence has no side effects or toxicity and is safe to be used by all age groups.
