Throat Lozenges: Which Should You Buy?
We have started into the season of scratchy, itchy throats. Colds and flu seem to really like this time of year.
I have to stop and wonder why the increase in colds and flu.
Could it be
…..a weather change reason; going from very warm weather to cooler or 
cold weather?
…..due to the lack of hand washing?
…..due to all of the coughing, sneezing, and slightly elevated body temperature?
…..due to our poor immune system response?
…..due to our overall poor health?
I believe that the rise of colds and flus are due to all of the above, in various combinations.
Once we realize we are getting that scratchy, itchy throat, we reach for a throat lozenge. There are two (2) different types out on the market. The over the counter throat lozengers that either have sugar or are sugar free and the Young Living Thieves Lozenge.
After looking at the ingredients of both, I pick the Young Living Thieves Lozenge….
And here is why…..
Over the counter throat lozenges are made up with the following ingredients:
- Menthol
Has a cooling effect and serves as a natural anesthetic
Definition: fragrant white crystalline organic compound obtained from peppermint oil or synthesized.
- Pectin
A demulcent which creates a smooth film over your sore throat and decreased inflammation
Definition: any group of water-soluble colloidal carbohydrates of high molecular weight found in ripe fruits, such as apples, plums and grapefruit, and used to jell various foods, drugs, and cosmetics
- Benzocaine
An unnatural ingredient with side effects in large doses, stronger anesthetic than menthol
Definition: white, odorless, tasteless crystalline ester used as a local anesthetic
Common side effects are headache, redness around sores in the mouth to severe side effects of difficulty breathing, increase or decrease in heart rate, seizures, nausea or allergies. Possible allergic symtpoms are sudden skin rash, hives, swelling of the face, lips, or tongue
- Eucalyptus Oil
Stops secretions of mucus; oil has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties
(non therapeutic grade oil, not 100% essential oil)
- Honey
Natural antiseptic, it fights throat infections, reduces inflammation
- Various additives, sugars, coloring
My goodness, what they put in our food, medicines, drugs, and everything else that we either put in our mouth or put on our body. When I looked at the sugar-free lozenges, there still was some type of unnatural sugar. Most of the artificial sugars that manufactures are using have some kind of a health warning to them.
Besides why put something unnatural into your body?
Thieves Lozenges soothe itchy, scratchy throats. They also contain a blend of 6 therapeutic medical grade essential oils. Dissolve one Thieves Lozenge in your mouth as desired. No side effects.

Throat Lozenges and the Cold and Flu Season: Why put artificial ingredients and unnatural ingredients into your body when you can use Essential Oils that are found in nature?
