April 20, 2004: "Maxx Eucalyptus with MAXICOOL: for longer-lasting menthol action"

During the hustle and bustle of the daily commute, all the moving and traveling can cause some degree of throat irritation. Constant exposure to pollution can later lead to cold, sore throat, allergies and even respiratory diseases. While we do employ various curative methods such as grandmothers’ age-old prescription of drinking water and boiled ginger, hot calamansi juice, gargling with lukewarm water and a little salt or even resorting to cough expectorant, do you know that there is an effective and convenient throat irritation reliever, which actually prevents throat irritation? This is called “eucalyptus.”

Eucalyptus is derived from an aromatic evergreen plant of the myrtle family, which has antiseptic as well as tonic properties and can be used as an expectorant or astringent. The aromatic oil extracted from eucalyptus has a cooling effect on inflamed tissue, and the tannins in eucalyptus exert strong soothing astringent action as well.

The good news is that, eucalyptus can be easily bought because it is available in candy form.

Maxx Eucalyptus, the only menthol candy to have the MAXICOOL ingredient provides longer lasting coolness for maximum menthol satisfaction. Maxx Eucalyptus with MAXICOOL is just perfect for people who are on the road on a daily basis. It has just the right amount of sweetness, and its cooling action lasts longer as it lingers in the mouth and slides easily down the throat. Furthermore, it does not have any unpleasant, bitter aftertaste.

Maxx Eucalyptus is a convenient, delicious and effective way to protect those who ply the busy streets, from the perils of throat irritation.
