I own a Chinese medicine clinic in Florida, and we have had these for sale in our clinic for years. We always keep a sample pack open for patients to try during treatments, and everyone who tries one buys one. We give these to patients during treatment when they come in with symptoms of dry throat, cough or throat irritation and it helps sooth their symptoms while receiving their acupuncture treatment. We've tried most every flavor, and there isn't one we don't love. I highly recommend these throat drops!
