This herbal candy contains a safe amount of Thumbai (Leucas aspera) and is meant for adults. It can be used to soothe sore throat and cold symptoms. Adults can take 1–3 candies in a day, only when needed. It is not recommended for children, pregnant women, or breastfeeding mothers. Do not use it every day for long periods. Stop using it if you notice any allergy, stomach upset, or discomfort.
