Lane's Cut A Cough

Lane's Cut A Cough Herbal Syrup

Lane's Cut A Cough is a traditional herbal medicine used for the relief of coughs, such as chesty coughs and coughs with catarrh, based on traditional use only.

Cut A Cough is a warming herbal expectorant that will help to relieve the symptoms of colds, shift mucous and catarrh, and make coughing easier.

It is particularly helpful where there is phlegm that is difficult to break up which often feels like a heavy sensation in the chest or breathlessness, and the feeling of being unable to breathe. It also helps to remove stubborn, lingering coughs.

First manufactured by Plymouth herbalist, Henry Lane (1855-1911), Cut A Cough contains the active ingredient, Squill Urginea maritima as a Squill Oxymel. This is where squill is prepared in vinegar and honey.

Squill has a long history of use as an expectorant that goes back to Ancient Egypt. Its use was mentioned the Ebers papyrus around 1500 B.C. and in Sir John Floyer’s ‘A Treatise of Asthma’ in 1698. Squill is a plant that is native to Europe and most commonly found in the Mediterranean. It is often called Sea Squill or Sea Onion as it has a large bulb and grows best in coastal habitats.
