Guest guest Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Buckley's Mixture (Coughs & Congestion) Active Ingredients: Each teaspoonful (5 mL) contains: 153 mg Ammonium Carbonate, 267 mg Potassium Bicarbonate, 22 mg Menthol, and 2.2 mg Camphor. How bad is Ammonium Carbonate? I won't lose sleep over it, it is not needed very often, thank goodness. But it sounds wicked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Smelling salts.... just don't look at how they used to be manufactured on the wikipedia link below :-) Hmmmm no wonder it tastes so bad! For home remedies, my mom always let us suck on a spoon with honey, and would treat our sore throats (sometimes the cause of our cough) with making us gargle with golden seal powder dissolved in warm water (YUCK!... way worse than Buckley's IMHO) Shelley http://education./reference/dictionary/entry/ammonium%20carbonate http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium_carbonate > How bad is Ammonium Carbonate? > I won't lose sleep over it, it is > not needed very often, thank goodness. > But it sounds wicked. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These were also useful for coughs. _____ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
