Homemade herbal throat lozenges

Of course, Ricola makes a great line of throat lozenges, but if you don't have time to get to the store or wait for a delivery, then try these simple ingredients to make your own herbal lozenges for a dry cough or sore throat.


Main ingredients


Marshmallow Root

When you have a sore throat, you can use marshmallow root to make it easier to swallow. Polysaccharides in this herb will help to protect and soothe irritated surfaces and tissues. It has a very mild taste. Marshmallow root may even be better if it's dried. You can make a cold infusion with the herb to make the liquid part of this recipe better, too.


Slippery Elm Bark

Inflammation of the membranes in your throat can be relieved with Slippery Elm Bark. This herb is also good for soothing a sore throat. It is very good for a dry cough. You'll need Slippery Elm Bark powder for this recipe.


Honey

Honey has been used for a long time because it has a lot of healing properties. Adding honey to these drops is not only a natural way to add sweetness, but it also has powerful antimicrobial properties that can help soothe a sore throat. People who want to use raw, unfiltered honey should do so. There are times when local honey if you can find it, is the best.


Easy Homemade Herbal Lozenges

(Makes about 20 drops)

Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup distilled or filtered water
  • ½ tsp. Marshmallow root powder, or about 2 Tbsp. dried Marshmallow root if using a cold infusion
  • 2 Tbsp. raw honey
  • ½ cup Slippery Elm Bark powder 

Method:

  1. Dissolve ½ tsp. Marshmallow root powder in ¼ cup hot water. Stir to combine. (Prepare cold infusion during this step if using dried Marshmallow root.)
  2. Put 2 Tbsp. honey into a glass measuring cup, and add Marshmallow root solution (or Marshmallow root cold infusion) to the measuring cup until you have a total of ¼ cup liquid. 
  3. Measure ½ cup Slippery Elm Bark powder into a mixing bowl, creating a well in the middle of the powder with your fingers. Pour honey/Marshmallow root solution over the Slippery Elm Bark powder.
  4. With clean hands, mix ingredients together to make a smooth ball of dough. Break small chunks off dough ball and form them into small lozenge-shaped drops. 
  5. Roll finished lozenges in a bit of Slippery Elm Bark powder so they are not sticky. Place on a plate or parchment paper and allow to dry completely (about 24 hours).
  6. Wrap each lozenge in a small piece of parchment paper or waxed paper. Store in a cool, dark, dry place. They will keep for a few months.
