Summary
This study tested whether Reconyl, a mix of four Indonesian herbs, can safely ease acute cough better than a placebo. 144 adults with sudden cough took either Reconyl or a placebo three times daily for 7 days. Researchers measured changes in cough severity and quality of life, along with kidney and liver function.
What this could mean

Active substance
Reconyl (a blend of four Indonesian herbs: Vitex trifolia, ginger, Abrus precatorius, and Phaleria macrocarpa)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a natural, side-effect-free option for relieving acute cough.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed Phase 3 trial with only 144 participants. The herbal blend may not work better than a placebo, and results may not apply to everyone.
