For recurring throat infections, Patanjali does have some thoughtful formulations. Divya Mulethi (Licorice) Churna is known to soothe the throat. It’s often recommended for its anti-inflammatory properties, easing pain and irritation. To use it, mix about 1/2 teaspoon with warm water or honey, consuming it twice daily. Licorice is well recognized in Ayurveda for its pacifying effects on aggravated kapha dosha, which often manifests as mucus build-up in throat infections.
Swasari Pravahi is another Patanjali product that targets coughs and throat issues. It contains herbs like Vasaka (Adhatoda vasica) and Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum), known for their soothing benefits on the respiratory system. A teaspoon thrice a day should suffice. You might find the herbal lozenges handy too. They’re quite travel-friendly.
Both Tulsi and ginger are star players against bacteria and viruses. Tulsi is a natural immune booster, while ginger boosts agni (digestive fire) which fights infections. Mulethi, or licorice, acts as a demulcent, coating and soothing the throat lining.
Duration-wise, noticeable relief might take a few days. But don’t fret if it’s not instant. Ayurveda balances long-term wellness rather than instant fixes. You could line this up with steam inhalation once or twice daily. A pinch of eucalyptus oil or even crushed mint can complement your efforts.
Some users have shared quick relief while others say it takes longer. A few even combine these remedies with warm saline gargles for a comprehensive approach. Side effects aren’t typical but, any excessive or prolonged use might lead to issues like raising blood pressure due to licorice.
Remember, equilibrium is the key. Whether it’s your doshas or your throat health, hitting the right balance is the aim. Anyone else’s experience could vary. If symptoms worsen though, do consult an allopathic doctor without delay.
