Softish Throat Drops
For decades, menthol-based cough drops have dominated the market, promising relief for sore throats and coughs. But anyone who has ever used them knows the truth—menthol provides a harsh, fleeting numbness rather than real, lasting relief. That’s where Pine Brothers cough drops stand apart. Instead of relying on menthol, Pine Brothers harnesses the natural power of gum acacia and honey—two ingredients that soothe and heal rather than just mask discomfort.
Menthol has long been included in cough drops for its cooling effect, but what does it do? It tricks your brain into feeling relief by numbing your throat rather than addressing the irritation. The cooling sensation can be misleading—it doesn’t heal your throat or provide long-term comfort.
Worse, menthol can be too harsh for sensitive throats. Many people find it irritating, especially if they need to use multiple drops throughout the day. Singers, teachers, and public speakers often avoid menthol because it can cause dryness and overexposure, leading to even more throat strain in the long run.
Pine Brothers takes a completely different approach by using naturally soothing ingredients that work with your body instead of just numbing the pain. The two-star ingredients—gum acacia and honey—provide real relief without the downsides of menthol.
Gum acacia, a plant-derived resin, has been used for centuries for its soothing and protective properties. Unlike menthol, which simply cools the throat for a short time, gum acacia forms a natural coating over irritated tissues. This protective layer helps to reduce discomfort, allowing your throat to recover rather than just feeling temporarily better.
With Pine Brothers cough drops, you’re not just masking discomfort—you’re treating your throat with ingredients that provide real, natural relief. They don’t dry out your throat like menthol, and they taste better, too! No harsh medicinal burn—just the smooth, comforting flavors of honey, wild cherry, and more.
It’s no wonder Elvis Presley and Martha Stewart have trusted Pine Brothers to keep their voices in top shape. Whether you’re a performer, teacher, or someone who simply values effective throat care, Pine Brothers is the superior alternative to menthol drops.
