Pharmacodynamics

Camellia has disinfecting and anti-inflammatory properties, and besides it has a weak local analgesic effect. The mechanism of action is assisted by a reflex response (irritation of nerve receptors), as well as stimulation of the formation and subsequent release of endorphins along with other bioactive internal components that affect vascular permeability and pain sensations.

The combination of camphor, chlorobutanol hydrate, as well as eucalyptus oil, promotes the development of a disinfecting and anti-inflammatory effect, helps to facilitate the secretion of a viscous secretion accumulating in the upper part of the respiratory system. Menthol has mild local anesthetic properties and a deodorizing effect.
