The expectorant activity research of infusions and water-soluble polysaccharide complexes of Salvia genus plants was carried out on the model of studying of motor function of the ciliated epithelium of frog esophagus. Experimentally, it was found that the investigated phytopreparations have an expectorant activity to some extent. The most effective ones are the infusion (an increase of motor activity is 41,26 ± 2,14%) and a water-soluble polysaccharide complex of Salvia horminum L. (an increase of motor activity is 45,38 ± 4,24%), which exceed Salvia's officinalis effect in respect of the strength of pharmacological activity. The rest are close by the action of an expectorant activity to officinal species Salvia officinalis L.
