Sanhelios Pastilles Gorge Propolis — 30 pastilles

Sanhelios Propolis Throat Lozenges: 30 lemon pastilles

These Sanhelios lozenges pair propolis, the hive's protective resin, with a clean lemon flavour. They are for when the throat starts to scratch, swallowing turns uncomfortable, or the voice goes hoarse.

Their appeal is as much the format as the formula: a flat case that slips into a pocket and stays within reach at a desk, in a car, or in an air-conditioned room where dry air irritates the throat.

Key points

• Lozenges with propolis
• Pleasant lemon flavour
• For a scratchy throat and difficulty swallowing
• Lactose free, vegetarian
• Pocket-sized case of 30 lozenges

Avoid if you are allergic to bee products. A sore throat lasting more than a week, or one that comes with fever, is a matter for a doctor rather than a lozenge.
