Summary
This study tested whether a dietary supplement with essential oils (Ubiotique) could reduce cough, phlegm, and fatigue in 105 adults visiting the emergency room with respiratory infections. Participants took either the supplement or a placebo three times daily for ten days and rated their symptoms. The goal was to see if the oils could safely ease symptoms faster than a placebo.
