What does it do?

Hangeung powder is a natural medicinal material made from powdered apricot seeds, traditionally used to alleviate symptoms of cough and phlegm. It is used as an adjunct in the treatment of respiratory diseases and helps with antitussive and expectorant effects.

Hangeung powder regulates mucus secretion in the airways, thinning phlegm and making it easier to expel. It also helps to alleviate the cough reflex, reducing unnecessary coughing.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.

Good to know

Unlike synthetic antitussives, Hangeung powder is made from natural plant-based ingredients, resulting in fewer side effects. However, caution is needed as the components in apricot seeds may cause allergic reactions in some individuals.
