KOFFTONIC🎄CHRISTMAS SALE! *Organic herbal blend for horses - cough-clearing, airway-soothing, breath-balancing

Coughing is a perfectly normal, healthy reflex the body uses to clear the airways of irritations, i.e. bacterial/viral microorganisms, via mucous, the lungs' natural secretion.

Sadly, there's not a lot we can do to prevent these organisms invading, but we need them shifted out before they start replicating and turning into an infection.

Why support the cough reflex?

The coughing reflex agitates the clearance of mucous, the lungs’ natural secretion, which acts as a barrier to trap and remove irritants. Suppressing a cough can hinder this essential process; what we should be doing is making that expectoration - the capacity to bring mucous up – as effective as it can be as it's an important part of the process.

Functional Fit – where KoffTonic belongs in respiratory support

KoffTonic is designed to support the natural cough reflex and upper airway clearance, particularly where coughing is triggered by dust, stable irritants, pollen, or transient respiratory challenge.

Rather than suppressing a cough, KoffTonic helps make it more effective and comfortable, supporting mucous mobilisation, soothing throat irritation, and encouraging clearer airways as the body does what it’s meant to do.

KoffTonic is the right choice when a cough is occasional, reactive, or environmental, and your horse needs short-term airway support rather than long-term respiratory management.

→ KoffTonic is:

• for short-term or seasonal coughs
• for dust-, bedding-, arena-, or pollen-triggered irritation
• for throat and upper-airway sensitivity
• for supporting effective mucous clearance
• for helping settle coughs during recovery or environmental change

→ KoffTonic is not:

• a suppressive cough “blocker”
• a long-term solution for chronic respiratory disease
• a deep lung or airway resilience formula
• designed for COPD, RAO, or heaves

Which blend - KoffTonic, BreathePlus, or PollenTonic?

Each supports breathing at a different level, depending on why your horse is coughing:

→ KoffTonic

Cough clearance | Throat soothing | Short-term support

Best when coughing is occasional, reactive, or linked to dust, pollen, or stable irritants - especially during recovery or seasonal change.

→ BreathePlus

Chronic airway support | Lung comfort | Long-term resilience

Best when coughing is ongoing or linked to deeper airway sensitivity, wheezing, heave lines, or breathing effort.

→ PollenTonic

Seasonal allergy support | Histamine moderation

Best when coughing appears alongside spring pollen reactions, itchy eyes, nose rubbing, or mild headshaking.

Quick guide - when to choose which?

In short

If your horse needs help clearing a cough, not suppressing it, KoffTonic offers calm, effective, short-term airway support.

If coughing becomes persistent or deep, step up to BreathePlus, or pair seasonally with PollenTonic where pollen sensitivity is involved.

Each herb in KoffTonic plays a vital role in soothing the airways, supporting mucous clearance, and maintaining calm, comfortable breathing.

This synergistic blend combines gentle expectorant, demulcent, and antitussive botanicals that help clear irritation, ease throat sensitivity, and sustain the body’s natural respiratory defences.

KoffTonic is a nutritional, functional food supplement and not veterinary medicine. For more on this, see Dr Kellon's article - Nutrition is not 'Alternative' Therapy .
