Gently soothe a sore throat with this powerful throat spray. No unnatural ingredients necessary, just the raw power of honey and immune-boosting properties of clove.
A sore throat can come on without warning along with the signs of a flu or cold. Instead of reaching for chemical-laden throat sprays that do little to fight the underlying causes of a sore throat (bacteria, weakened immune system, etc.), reach for this soothing throat spray that doubles as an immune boosting tonic.
The thickness of raw honey helps to coat the throat and relieve soreness. If you can find Manuka honey, which is a high grade honey with medicinal properties, it is highly recommended. Otherwise, raw organic honey is potent as well with a high level of immune boosting minerals, enzymes and amino acids.
Cloves have high levels of antioxidants. These antioxidants make cloves an extremely powerful immune system booster while also containing antimicrobial properties that help stop a sore throat in its tracks. It is best used at the onset of a sore throat or cold, so as soon as you start to feel symptoms, use a few sprays every few hours.
