What is catarrh?
Catarrh is a build-up of mucus in the nose, throat or sinuses. Catarrh can cause a number of symptoms including:
- A constant need to clear the throat.

- Crackling or popping sensation in ears.

How is catarrh caused?
Catarrh is usually an immune system reaction to an infection or irritation, which causes the lining of the nose and throat to swell and produce mucus. There are few triggers for this reaction including:
- A cold or other viral infection
- Allergic rhinitis (allergies to pollen, dust and mould)
- Irritation caused by environmental factors (e.g. humidity, smoke, fumes)
- Nasal polyps (small, benign growths on the lining of the nasal passage or sinus)

Covonia Catarrh Relief Formula contains two active ingredients:
Burdock Root
