3D animation on the effects of phytochemicals such as camphor, turpentine and eucalyptus on the development of cough stimuli in colds. The focus here is on the activation of P2X3 receptors on the nerve cells during a viral cold by ATP, which triggers a cough stimulus. Some phytochemicals reduce the release of ATP from the epithelial cells, reduce the activation of P2X3 receptors and thus the cough stimulus.
