Confronting perimenopausal women’s knowledge of coronary heart disease with their health behaviours. Controversial role of hormone replacement therapy in the protection of coronary heart disease
The paper reviews herbal medicinal products used in infectious diseases of the respiratory tract. Due to the multidirectional effects of the biological action of the contained herbal active substances (anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, antitussive, diuretic and others), they have the properties that alleviate the severity of symptoms, reduce their frequency and, consequently, shorten the duration of the disease, as well as reduce the risk of complications. Some of them have additional immunomodulatory properties, supporting natural immune mechanisms.
