Cold Season
by heathervescent
It's coming up on that time of year again. The weather changes and we get coughs and colds. Don't think we're left out in Los Angeles. I've been stuck in bed the last week with a horrible sore throat / sinus cold. I went through a whole phase of natural herbal remedies. I thought they worked, but often didn't see a direct effect. Except for one product, that worked every single time: Throat Coat.
The problem with medicinal herbs and teas is that because their potency is not pharmacy strong, you have to take a lot of them. Or drink like 10 cups of tea to get any effect. That's too much tea drinking for my tastes. But one strong cup of throat coat, sooths even the rawest throat of mine, even if it's just for an hour or two. That's longer than Cepacol lozenges soothed the same sore throat in a unscientific study held last week in my house with your editor as the guinea pig.
And the throat coat tea is more palatable than even the wild cherry flavor. I know Cepacol is trying to cover up the medicine taste - but it's pretty bad, and you can't add honey.
Anyway, if you come across a ragged throat that needs some soothing, you might want to try Throat Coat Tea. But don't take my non-medical advice without checking with your own doctor. Smooth sailing.
