The Fall Essential You Didn’t Know You Needed: 10 Benefits of Lozenges
If you’ve ever felt a coughing fit coming on at a wedding or funeral service, then you know the value of a lozenge. But did you know that cough-drops can do more than help you suppress your cough?
Here are 10 reasons to keep some lozenges on hand during the beautiful (but chillier) autumn months:
1. Soothe Sore Throats
For those annoying scratchy throats, a lozenge can be the difference between feeling “not great” and “never better.” Some lozenges even come with ingredients that have immune-boosting properties and anti-inflammatory effects, like zinc and echinacea.
2. Keep Your Throat Lubricated
As temperatures drop, our throats tend to get dry. Lozenges to the rescue! Keep your vocal cords hydrated with lozenges that provide much-needed moisture and lubrication.
3. Oral Hygiene
Fresh breath is non-negotiable, but who needs chemicals? Opt for lozenges flavored with natural breath-freshening ingredients like menthol (naturally found in peppermint), eucalyptus, mint, and licorice. Hello, minty fresh kisses!
4. Voice Care for the Vocal Stars
We know you’re not just a mom; you’re the director, the referee, the teacher, the entertainer, the final say, and the voice of reason. Pamper your vocal cords with a lozenge that’ll keep them supple and healthy.
5. Clear Sinus Congestion
Lozenges can help provide temporary relief from congestion by soothing irritated nasal passages and promoting a sensation of clearer breathing.
6. Relieve Nausea
Whether it’s morning sickness or motion sickness, organic ginger lozenges are your trusty sidekick. Keep a stash in your purse or fanny pack for those unexpected queasy moments.
7. Fix Dry Mouth
Dry mouth be gone! Organic lozenges with saliva-stimulating ingredients will quench that desert-like sensation, ensuring your mouth stays comfortable.
8. Nutritional Boost
We know time is precious. That’s why vitamin-infused lozenges are a total game-changer. Skip the pills and pop a yummy lozenge packed with essential nutrients. We love the ones with Vitamin-C or Elderberry and Zinc for a quick immunity boost.
9. Trusty Travel Companion
Changes in air pressure can range from super annoying to really painful. Whether you’re flying or driving across the country, sucking on a lozenge can help to pop your ears during elevation changes.
10. Aromatherapy On-the-Go
When stress creeps in or minor headaches strike, reach for organic lozenges infused with heavenly essential oils and let the relaxation wash over you.
