Guest guest Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Thanks Misty, I googled for it and it seems that mostly what is on the market they are using glycerin and there is alcohol (from the tincture I presume). They also add other herbs like goldenseal and thymus. Also propolis which is great. I guess I'll add some honey too so that it will stay longer on the throat... Here are examples I found: 1. Propolis Echinacea Throat Spray is an herbal combination that has soothing, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory properties to provide relief for infected sore throat, enlarged tonsils, pharyngitis, laryngitis, sores, ulcerations of the mouth, gums, and throat, and may also be used topically for cuts, scratches, abrasions, sores and ulcerations of the skin. Ingredients: Echinacea root (Echinacea purpurea)(1,4) Propolis (Resina propoli)(2) Hyssop leaf & flower (Hyssopus officinalis)(1,4) Sage leaf (Salvia officinalis))1,4) St. John's Wort flr. & bud (Hypericum perf.)(2,3) The herbs used to prepare this compound are: (1) Certified Organically Grown (2) Custom Wildcrafted (3) Fresh & succulent (4) Shade-dried.
