Ambroxol is a mucoactive substance, so maybe these natural compounds in article are worth a try if you can’t get or don’t want to use ambroxol.

Very interesting. One of the first alternative treatments I saw for PD was a cough medicine. But not Ambroxol. My notes are on my other computer 
I appreciate the list of natural substances.
Ambroxol isn’t sold over the counter here but other similar products are but different active ingredient. I suppose the natural compounds may not be as effective but worth a try
Yesterday I happened upon an article on Parkinson’s.org. “Aspirin Targets Pathway to Cell Death in Parkinson’s”
The active ingredient of note is salicylic acid.
I have not yet researched this further. But I think aspirin is terrible for three gut biome? Salicylic acid is plant derived and used in skin care.
Although not a mucoactive, thought you might be interested.
I am curious about it.
And farnesol; someone (Jay) pointed out that it’s used in cigarettes and cigarettes are believed to reduce risk. Interesting!
Interesting all these links. I am pretty convinced brain drainage and the glymphatic system is important in all of this and that maybe the protein folding is aided by waste products not getting away? So something that thins mucous would fit in with that. And also exercise as it helps circulation of lymph and blood which also cleans out the waste. Stretching releases waste too.My opinion is that you might be able to dissolve the alphasynuclein in the brain with compounds but you actually also need to help move it out too. Then away from the brain and out the body’s waste disposal systems.
Yes! That makes sense to me! I’ve just started researching lymph drainage and intend on getting a trampoline. What about saunas and the lymph system? I want to look in to that.
Here’s some earlier posts I made on the glymphatic system. And myofascial release, ie the breaking up the fascia layer which builds which can freeze up areas of the body. healthunlocked.com/cure-par...
And the glymphatic system
CC,
Here is the Wellness Center we drive to and husband has his Ozone Therapy. They also provide Lymphatic Drainage and other interesting therapies.
What is guggul? Guggul is the gum resin obtained from a variety of plants native to India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan.
Some of the major species include Commiphora wightii, Commiphora gileadensis, Commiphora mukul, Boswellia serrata, and Boswellia sacra. All species are a part of the Burseraceae family, also known as the incense family.
Guggul sap, also referred to as guggul, gum guggul, guggula, or gugulipid, is tapped from the plants similarly to how maple syrup is extracted from maple trees.
Guggul has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine, a holistic, plant-derived medical system, to treat various health conditions, such as obesity, arthritis, and inflammation (1).
Guggul contains a mixture of plant compounds, including steroids, essential oils, lignans, flavonoids, carbohydrates, and amino acids — all of which may be responsible for its various health effects.
Purported to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, it has been used in ancient medicine to protect against a variety of diseases.
What is ursolic acid?alzdiscovery.org/cognitive-...
Ursolic acid is a compound present in many fruits and herbs, such as apple peels, cranberry juices, grape skins, holy basil, rosemary, thyme, oregano, sage, and other herbs. While preclinical studies suggest it has anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory actions, no studies in humans have evaluated whether ursolic acid improves cognitive function or brain health. Ursolic acid is also not absorbed very well by the body. Ursolic acid ingested through the diet is safe, but long-term safety of ursolic acid supplements has not been tested.
