Grethers Pastilles

Lozenges are so soothing to the throat when you are sick and your throat is hurting. Lozenges are the perfect sore throat remedy. Some of the lozenges are even used as for sore throat treatment. You may find a number of them in the pharmacy, but how do you choose which one is the best for you? Especially if you are in the profession of singing or are a singer, you’d know the importance of a great lozenge at the last minute to give your best performance. Even if throat issues often visit you, the importance of pastilles will not be lost on you. Switzerland-based Grethers Pastilles are glycerine based pastilles or lozenges. These have been in the market since the year 1910, and have therefore stood the test of time in terms of quality and effectiveness.

Throat itchiness, sore throat, or throat pain all of which makes speaking a complete nightmare, Grethers Pastilles have a quick solution. By chewing on their pastilles, they can provide an instant relief, which is one of the oldest known sore throat remedy.  It is important to understand that not all lozenges are medicinal or have curative property. They only sooth your throat or reduce the pain. Some lozenges were created to include anaesthetic which helps numb the pain. Others may include antiseptic to kill the bacteria and viruses in the throat. Lozenges with menthol and eucalyptus are used as decongestants. These reduce swelling in your throat temporarily, but may cause dryness. Non-medicated pastilles may contain pectin or elm bark; this helps in reducing throat irritation.

Grethers Pastilles contain glycerine along with other ingredients that is most beneficial as a lozenge for your throat.
