Acute lung disease leads to short-term loss of work capacity, and advanced chronic respiratory disability is an important cause of permanent disability. In about 10% of the adult population, respiratory failure is found to be marked to varying degrees. In chronic respiratory failure, a disturbance in alveolar-capillary diffusion is observed. Gas exchange is also impaired due to obstruction of small airways caused by bronchial hypersecretion. All this means the occurrence of hypoxemia (reduced oxygen passage in the body and its correspondingly lower tissue content), but without hypercapnia (increased carbon dioxide content), since carbon dioxide passes through the alveolar-capillary membrane 25 times more easily than oxygen.

In order to prevent the disease from becoming chronic, prolonged exposure to various types of agents irritating the bronchial mucosa should be avoided: smoking, dust, smoke, etc. It is also important that acute infections are treated timely and correctly.

Phytotherapy has a certain share in the science-based therapy of diseases of the respiratory system. Medicinal plants are applied in prevention and in aid of therapy, both in inflammation of the upper respiratory tract and in acute and chronic bronchitis.

Medicinal marshmallow ( Althaea officinalis L ) is one of the most studied plants in respiratory diseases. The roots are rich in mucilaginous substances, which help to soften bronchial secretions and make them easier to expel from the bronchial tree. The extracts of the medicinal marshmallow have a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect. Their application is recommended for persistent coughs, whooping cough, tracheitis, bronchitis. In addition, a beneficial influence of marshmallow is found in relation to ulcerative disease of the stomach and intestines, hyperacid gastritis, in acute and chronic colitis, even in dieric affections and dysentery.

Mountain Eyebright (Potentilla erecta L) is included in the Altoria product because of its proven anti-inflammatory and astringent effects on the upper respiratory tract. In folk medicine, eyebright tea is applied repeatedly daily for severe sinusitis, tonsillitis and runny nose.

It turns out that in combination the extracts of medicinal marshmallow and mountain honeysuckle have a potentiating effect, which was used in the creation of the product Altoria. Taking 1 capsule a day to support prophylaxis during the cold and wet months has a good effect on the function of the respiratory system. When inflammation of the upper respiratory tract and bronchial tree occurs, the recommended doses are 3 times 1 capsule per day. For persistent cough and severe bronchitis, 2 capsules 3 times a day can be taken.
Of course, we should think about protecting ourselves from diseases at first.

Altoria is a natural product taken from the extraordinary diversity of nature and is free of side effects. Each capsule contains 300mg of medicinal marshmallow extract and 150mg of mountain eyebright extract.

This product aids in the prevention and treatment of diseases of the respiratory system.

We need to think about how to preserve our health. It is priceless.
