Processed snake gall extract effectively reduced ammonia-induced cough in mice. This traditional remedy also boosted respiratory tract secretions, promoting expectoration and offering potential therapeutic benefits.

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacology
  • Traditional Medicine
  • Respiratory Physiology

Context:

  • Cough is a common symptom with various underlying causes.
  • Ammonia inhalation can induce acute airway irritation and coughing.
  • Snake gall has been historically used in traditional medicine for respiratory ailments.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the antitussive and expectorant properties of processed snake gall.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of snake gall in an animal model of induced cough.

Summary:

  • Processed snake gall extract demonstrated significant cough suppression in mice exposed to ammonia vapor.
  • The extract increased respiratory tract fluid secretion, facilitating mucus clearance.
  • These findings support the traditional use of snake gall for respiratory conditions.
