Effective Throat Relief Anytime, Anywhere
I’m really impressed with these Ricola Original Herb Cough Drops. They provide quick and soothing relief for my throat, especially when it feels dry or irritated. One of the things I love most is their convenient size—I can easily keep a few in my purse, pocket, or even leave some in different bags so I always have them on hand. I’ve noticed they’re particularly effective at night before going to sleep, helping to calm my throat so I can rest more comfortably.

Ricola Original Herb – A Trusted Remedy for Your Throat Anytime!
I first tried Ricola Original Herb a few years ago when a cold hit me right before an important meeting. My throat was sore, my voice was fading, and I was desperately looking for something to help fast. That’s when someone recommended these Swiss cough drops with alpine herbs. From the very first drop, I felt the irritation ease, and a pleasant coolness spread through my throat. The taste is unique—herbal, slightly sweet, but not overpowering. You can really taste the mint, sage, and a hint of lemon balm. The best part is they actually work. Now, I always keep a pack in my bag, especially during the colder months. Just recently, they saved me again—I got caught in a draft while out with my child, and by the evening, I had a cough. I grabbed a couple of these drops, and within minutes, I felt relief. They don’t just mask the symptoms; they actually soothe and care for your throat. Now, they’re my go-to remedy, always within reach.

BEST COUGH DROP
These cough drops worked almost the moment I put one in my mouth. It suppressed my cough, tasted good, and lasted quite a long time. These cough drops are also an oral anesthetic by way of the herbal ingredients. YES, I would recommend them

A Winter Essential 🍬🍃🍂🌿
Ricola herbal candies have always been a favorite of mine, and they’re especially comforting during the winter season. The soothing blend of natural herbs feels like a balm for my throat, providing instant relief from dryness or irritation caused by the cold weather. I also prefer this version in the tin over the individually wrapped candies—it’s so much more convenient to carry and use throughout the day. The subtle, not-too-sweet taste and smooth texture make them a pleasure to enjoy, and the long-lasting flavor keeps my throat feeling refreshed. If you’re looking for a natural, effective, and portable way to care for your throat this season, Ricola is a must-have!

Helps with stuffy noses
Since the ears, nose and throat are all connected I used these to help clear my stuffy nose. They do help. I am able to breath a bit more and blow mucus from my nose. They taste great.

Great tasting soothing relief
I love these cough drops so much I had to get the family size. The flavor is good and not too overpowering and they work amazingly. I’ve been sick for a week and these paired with some herbal tea worked wonders! 10/10!

Soothing taste
These cough drops work great. They taste great as well. I instantly stop coughing once I put one of these in my mouth. All natural ingredients so they taste pure. They are packed very nice and worth every penny.

Amazing taste
A coworker lent me some of these when I started to get sick at work (turned out it was COVID) but these have become my favorite cough drops/ throat lozenges and the only one I buy when I get colds. The taste is AMAZING. Truly. Most throat drops are so artificial tasting and not generally pleasant but I would take these as a mint if I could. Furthermore I do feel like these soothe and provide relief which is just what you are looking for. Definitely recommend

Perfect to help relieve a sore throat and reduce cough!
These are the best cough drops. They are long-lasting and effective. They help relieve a sore throat and reduce coughing. I do wish the packaging had the option to reseal so that way they don't spill out. But I love that they have natural ingredients.
