I'm sharing my trusted natural recipe for soothing sore throat lozenges, straight from my naturopath. With just three simple ingredients, these homemade remedies provide fast relief from scratchy, irritated throats—often better than commercial options like Strepsils or Humex.
Less sweet, 100% natural, and highly effective, they've been my go-to for years. Here's how to make them yourself.
Contents Prep time: 5 mins | Cook time: 4 mins | Yields: 20-25 lozenges
Your 100% natural sore throat lozenges are ready! In my experience, sucking on one at the first sign of irritation clears it up in minutes. Take up to 6 per day, or dissolve in herbal tea for extra comfort.
Store in an airtight container for 2-3 months, away from heat, sunlight, and temperature changes.
Caution: If using essential oils, avoid giving to pregnant women or children under 10.
Prevent sticking by rolling in icing sugar after shaping.
Swap water for organic lemon juice for added vitamins.
My secret: Add a touch of ginger for extra soothing power.
Want lollipops? Spoon caramel onto baking paper, add a stick, and let harden—the stick embeds perfectly.
