(HealthNewsDigest.com) – Whether the cold winter wind, bone dry air or infestation of Spring pollen, a slew of new OTC medications are introduced to consumers to treat their sore throats and other symptoms. But one treatment has remained the same from your grandmother’s time to now: gargling with saltwater.
GoGargle! is a modern twist on Grandma’s favorite at-home sore throat remedy. Created by nurse and mother January O’Connor who was looking for a better-for-you option in both taste and wellness, the effervescent saltwater gargle packs a proprietary blend of honey, chamomile, aloe and mint into a quarter-sized tablet that can be activated in seconds at home or on the go.
Just dissolve one GoGargle! tablet in 4-6 oz. of warm water, and then gargle in small sips for 20-30 seconds until the liquid is gone. The effervescent bubbles help GoGargle! dissolve quickly so you can get to gargling and feel the soothing relief. The bacteria-fighting salt cleanses and helps reduce inflammation, while the other ingredients soothe, creating a clean, refreshing sensation.
Products like lozenges and sprays can just mask the symptoms, so experts recommend saltwater gargling as an effective way to soothe sore throats. The Mayo Clinic cites gargling as a simple remedy to soothe the throat. O’Connor added immune boosters Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Zinc, and made sure the formula was easy to use and perfect for travel.
GoGargle! was named best new product at the 2014 ECRM Cold-Cough, Analgesics and Allergy Convention, and is currently available nationwide at CVS/pharmacy and other retailers including Albertsons, Winn Dixie, Basha’s, HyVee, Wegman’s, Shopko, Weis, Harris Teeter and Meijer.
Key Ingredients in GoGargle! include:
Salt: Helps soothe and ease throat irritation
Honey: Soothes, coats, and adds sweetness
Chamomile: A traditional herb known for soothing properties
Aloe: Plant extract that provides cooling relief
Mint: Adds a crisp, cool taste, as well as calming and soothing properties
