Throat Comfort is a naturally sweet herbal supplement tea designed to support
the respiratory system and soothe mucous membranes in the trachea, irritated by
common, everyday stress. Our healing formula is made with Slippery Elm Bark and
Organic Mullein, favorite demulcents of Western and European herbalism prized
for their mucilage content and usefulness in relieving minor irritation in the
mucous membranes of the throat. The mucilaginous substances present in these demulcent
herbs help to form a protective slippery coating along the throat’s mucous
lining, which can be especially important for singers and public speakers. Our
herbal supplement tea includes Black Cherry Bark for both its soothing effects
and pleasant cherry flavor. This herb, native to North America, includes cyanogenic
glycosides, such as prunasin, which help suppress spasms and soothe the muscles
lining the bronchioles. To support respiratory function, the recipe has also been
augmented with Organic Licorice (Glyceryrrhiza glabra) and warming spices. Because
Throat Comfort tea is naturally tasty, gentle and effective, both children and
adults will enjoy it.

For best tea infusion, pour 8 oz boiling water over one Throat Comfort tea bag and steep for 5 to 10 minutes. For a stronger effect, use 2 tea bags. Gently squeeze each tea bag to fully release the active ingredients. Due to the naturally occurring mucilage in the herbs, the longer you steep, the more soothing the tea will be. When your throat is irritated, sip throughout the day and use as a gargle. To care for a delicate throat, such as for singing or public speaking, drink 1-2 cups per day.
