For over 150+ years, Pine Brothers throat drops have been a trusted name in throat relief, offering generations of families, singers, teachers, and everyday people a gentle yet soothing alternative to harsh menthol lozenges.

The Philadelphia Origins of a Legendary Throat Drop

The Pine Brothers story began in 1870, when J. Herman Pine, a German immigrant in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, sought to create a better, more soothing throat remedy. Dissatisfied with the harsh and medicinal options of the time, Pine experimented with 100’s of ingredients, eventually discovering the perfect blend of gum acacia, honey, and plant glycerin creating a drop that would soothe throats beautifully.
