The Five Essential Oils That Help Soothe a Sore Throat

We reveal five essential oils that are not only safe to be consumed internally, but also help comfort one of the most common allergy and cold symptoms… the sore throat.

This article reveals:

• The five essential oils that can help comfort your throat
• The different cooling effects of an essential oil blend vs. menthol
• The particular kind of honey that can fight a dry cough
• The best natural remedy for soothing a sore throat and dry cough

While a sore throat and a cough are hardly cause for alarm, they certainly aren’t pleasant.

The mild cases are irritating, but the more severe can cause simple acts like eating and talking to become painful.

What exacerbates these problems is that so many OTC lozenges are barely more than glorified candy.

As a result, you’re left feeling stuck in a painful situation. That’s why we’re using this blog to reveal our favourite natural remedies for soothing a sore throat and fighting a persistent cough!

The benefits of essential oils

Essential oils? Aren’t those used for making your pillow smell good?

Well, yes! But various essential oils actually contain a multitude of benefits including: relieving stress, boosting energy, reducing anxiety, improving concentration, and much more!

Despite this, those who are familiar with essential oils may be perplexed at the thought of using them internally.

Don’t worry; while most essential oils should not be consumed internally, a number of them are absolutely safe. We use a selection of these in our Essential Oil Cooling Blend, created by our Master Herbalist, Stacey Littlefield. This powerful blend supports clear and open airways and delivers a cooling, soothing sensation to your throat.

So, what makes the cooling effect of essential oils more effective than the menthol of a generic cough drop?

Most cough drops offer 2mg - 5mg of menthol per dose. However, this menthol is an isolate. This means that the menthol has been broken apart from its original compound using chemical solvents.

What makes our remedy far more effective is that our essential oils each naturally contain menthol… plus, hundreds of beneficial nutrients!

• Eucalyptus; can help clear a cough and support respiratory health

• Rosemary; pain-reliever

• Camphor; helps relieve respiratory congestion

• Spike Lavender; decongestant with antiviral properties

• Pine; helps to clear the respiratory tract of phlegm

With just a dash of added menthol, the natural constituents of these essential oils offer a far more balanced and pleasant experience than your regular cough drop!

The honey needed to fight your cough

We recently busted the myth that local honey can entirely relieve you of seasonal allergies… but that doesn’t mean it can’t help.

Honey, providing it really is honey and not a knock-off, actually has quite a few medicinal benefits.

While it is not technically a cough suppressant, it is both a demulcent and an emollient.

A demulcent is a substance that can help relieve irritation and inflammation by forming a protective film over our mucus membranes. An emollient is something that is able to both soften and soothe skin!

In short, it can provide effective relief for both a sore throat and a dry cough. As a good rule of thumb, the darker the honey is, the better it is for a dry cough.

That’s why we recommend buckwheat honey. It’s been found to be particularly effective against a nighttime cough, which helps alleviate the aggravation of a poor night’s sleep. And don’t worry; it’s not part of the wheat family so it is still gluten-free.
