What is Vicks Toux Natura Sèche & Grasse used for?
Coughs, whether dry or oily, are part of our body's natural defense mechanisms. However, when it becomes too frequent or disrupts daily life, it's essential to find a gentle, effective solution. That's where Vicks Toux Natura Sèche & Grasse 140 ml syrup comes in: a medical device formulated from 100% natural ingredients, designed to meet the needs of adolescents aged 12 and over, as well as adults.
Its vocation is clear: to soothe dry coughs while supporting the elimination of mucus associated with wet coughs, for restored respiratory comfort.
This syrup combines traditional mucilage plants such as marshmallow and plantain, renowned for their ability to create a protective film on irritated mucous membranes. Their rich mucilage content enables them to retain water and form a moisturizing layer that acts as a soothing barrier against throat irritation. In this way, dry coughs are soothed naturally, without blocking the essential cough reflex.
The third pillar of the formula is grindelia, a plant used in phytotherapy for its beneficial properties on respiratory ailments. Its presence reinforces the combined action of marshmallow and plantain, enabling the syrup to act on both dry and productive coughs. This plant synergy helps restore optimal respiratory comfort.
This plant base is complemented by the action of natural gums - gum arabic and xanthan gum - which help form a protective barrier on the pharyngeal mucosa. This film helps limit direct contact with irritants (dust, pollution, dry air...), while maintaining optimal hydration. The result: a sensation of rapid, long-lasting relief.
The syrup is also distinguished by the presence ofessential oils of eucalyptus radiata and lemon. Renowned for their aromatic virtues, they add an extra dimension by helping to clear the respiratory tract and improve overall comfort during coughing episodes. The taste of honey, meanwhile, makes it pleasant to take and further soothes the throat.
This syrup is more than a simple soother: it acts as a genuine natural multifunctional solution, moisturizing, protecting, softening and supporting the respiratory tract. It doesn't block coughs, but intelligently accompanies them to reduce discomfort. As a complement, it may be a good idea to combine its use with Stodal Sirop Homéopathique Toux Boiron, another gentle, natural solution available in pharmacies, to reinforce the benefits for the throat and bronchi.

Expert advice
Naturopathic treatment of coughs is based on several complementary approaches. In addition to taking a soothing syrup like this one, it's advisable to ensure good daily hydration. Drinking water or lukewarm herbal teas (such as thyme or marshmallow) on a regular basis helps to thin secretions and soothe the throat. Humidifying the ambient air, with a humidifier or simply by placing a bowl of water in the bedroom, also limits the dryness of the mucous membranes. Finally, getting enough rest and maintaining a diet rich in fruit and vegetables helps to naturally boost the immune system.
