Herbal Throat Spray

Kiwiherb Herbal Throat Spray is a handy oral spray for adults that combines seven actives: kawakawa leaf, echinacea root, thyme, honey, propolis, peppermint oil and manuka oil. It comes in a 30 mL spray bottle that slips easily into a bag, and it is sprayed into the mouth rather than swallowed. It is traditionally used in Maori medicine as an analgesic to relieve pain and, in Western herbal medicine, to relieve symptoms of sore throat.
