Laooq Katan

Laooq Katan is a time-tested classical Unani elective preparation manufactured by Dawakhana Hakim Ajmal Khan. The word "Laooq" refers to a semi-solid linctus designed to be licked slowly, while "Katan" is the Arabic/Persian name for Flaxseed (Alsi).

This formulation is specifically engineered to treat respiratory conditions caused by thick, stubborn, and "cold" phlegmatic humors. By utilizing the natural mucilaginous and expectorant properties of Flaxseeds combined with the warming and cleansing nature of Jaggery (Gur), Laooq Katan acts as a powerful Munaffis-e-Balgham (Expectorant). It effectively thins viscid mucus, making it easier to expel, thereby providing relief from chronic cough, asthma, and pleurisy.

• Powerful Expectorant Action: Effectively liquefies and expels thick, sticky phlegm (Balgham-e-Ghaleez) from the lungs and bronchial tubes.
• Relieves Chronic Cough: Specifically useful for stubborn, "hard" coughs where mucus is difficult to bring up.
• Supports Asthma Management: Helps dilate the airways and clear obstructions, reducing wheezing and breathlessness.
• Relieves Pleurisy (Zat-ul-Janb): Traditionally used to soothe the sharp chest pain associated with inflammation of the lung lining.
• Soothes the Respiratory Tract: Provides a protective, emollient coating to the throat and lungs, reducing irritation caused by persistent coughing.
• Clears Chest Congestion: Removes the sensation of heaviness and tightness in the chest.
