Sore Throat Spray
Our Sore Throat Spray is a potent synergistic formula crafted with the intention of soothing sore throat pain, fighting respiratory system bacterial or viral infections, clearing mucus, boosting the immune system, and to support optimal lymphatic function.
Here on Farm, and within our community, we reach for this fast-acting spray at the first twinge of a sore throat; that is to say, it is intended to be used at the initial onset of symptoms and during the acute stage of illness. It is a wonderful remedy to have stocked in the home herbal medicine chest, available as soon as the need may arise. And given the method of extraction, this spray (when well kept in a cool, dark place) essentially has no expiration date.
