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.
