Cough and Sore Throat Drops relieve coughs and the pain associated with sore throats while they coat and soothe, and they taste great too!*

The Benefits of Menthol & Pectin
Menthol is an anti-tussive. This just means that it can relieve or prevent a cough. It’s also considered an oral anesthetic, which is a numbing agent. Pectin is an oral demulcent, which relieves irritation and inflammation in the throat by coating it with a gentle, soothing film.*

The cool and smooth menthol in Organix is made from organic peppermint oil, which acts as a cough suppressant and oral anesthetic to suppress coughs and cool the nasal passages. The menthol is combined with pectin, an oral demulcent to help soothe your sore throat.*

Organix also contains a proprietary blend of herbs that have been used for centuries to treat respiratory symptoms, including: organic slippery elm, organic hyssop, organic marshmallow root, organic mullein and organic sunflower and organic eucalyptus oils.

Organix Cough and Sore Throat Drops are the first medicated drops to be certified USDA Organic. The drops are naturally sweetened and do not contain any preservatives, artificial colors or flavors. The drops are also gluten free. Ingredients in Organix Cough and Sore Throat Drops were not produced with bio-engineering. Even the wrappers are made from corn starch and are 100% compostable.

Leading a natural, organic lifestyle is one of the best ways to take control of your health – the less pesticides in your body, the healthier you are. However, following a healthy regimen won’t always prevent you from catching a cold – sore throat, cough, runny nose. When you feel the burning, scratchy sore throat, turn to natural ways to alleviate and soothe the pain, since most sore throats are viral and antibiotics won’t help.

The average sore throat typically lasts about a week, with a cough lasting even longer, so sufferers should try the following natural remedies to tame an inflamed throat:

Also, don't forget to:

Blow your Nose If you let the mucous build up in your nasal passages, it can fill your respiratory tract and possibly lead to a respiratory infection. However, remember to blow your nose lightly as too much pressure can lead to middle ear infection. Make sure you always wipe your nose with a tissue so you don’t contaminate your hands.*	Eat Do not starve a cold. Instead, keep yourself well nourished with a well-balanced diet so that you have enough energy to fight off the virus. Also, many cold remedies can cause an upset stomach if your stomach is empty.*
Take the day off Relax in bed, catch up with a good book and eat some warm soup. You may not want to miss work or school, but in the long run, getting better quicker will save you from future absences (and prevent you from infecting others around you).*	Drink Keep yourself hydrated with water and clear juices to ensure the lining of your nose and throat does not dry out, allowing mucous to remain moist and easy to clear from the nose. Stay away from drinks that contain caffeine or alcohol, both of which lead to dehydration.*
Change your personal items Once you are feeling better, change your toothbrush, and your bed sheets and covers after your cold symptoms subside.	Sleep Getting plenty of rest is extremely important. You need all your strength to fight off a cold.*

First described in 1696, peppermint is a hybrid cross between watermint and spearmint. It is believed that the medicinal use of peppermint dates back to the herbal pharmacopoeia of ancient Greece, where it was taken internally to aid in digestion and inhaled to ease upper respiratory symptoms and cough. There is evidence that peppermint was cultivated by the Egyptians. It is mentioned in the Icelandic Pharmacopoeias of the thirteenth century, but only came into general use in Western European medicine in about the middle of the eighteenth century. The primary chemical constituents of Peppermint include essential oils, tannins, flavonoids, choline and potassium. Peppermint leaves contain about 0.5-4% volatile oils that are composed of 50-78% free menthol and 5-20% menthol combined with other constituents.*

Peppermint oil, which is extracted from the stem, leaves, and flowers of the plant, has become popular as a treatment for a variety of conditions.

With a high menthol content, peppermint is also commonly used to help soothe and relax tired, achy muscles by applying it to the skin, as well as to treat cold symptoms. Peppermint and menthol are useful decongestants that help loosen and release phlegm. Known for its ability to stimulate the skin’s cold receptors to create a cooling effect, menthol gives the sensation of temperature change (e.g. cools nasal passages).*

Peppermint is also believed to help relieve upset stomachs and aid in digestion because of its ability to relax the muscles of the digestive tract. There have been studies conducted to gauge peppermint’s effectiveness in reducing some of the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). While the results of these clinical trials are mixed, there is evidence that demonstrates that enteric-coated peppermint – peppermint coated with a material that permits transit through the stomach to the small intestine before the medication is released – may be effective in treating common IBS symptoms, like abdominal pain, gas and bloating.*

Peppermint is also believed to inhibit the growth of certain bacteria. The herb has been used to treat skin irritations, menstrual cramps, nausea and headaches due to the numbing and calming effect it has on a variety of ailments.*

Going green and living a more natural lifestyle is becoming much easier to do, thanks to the wide variety of organic products available – everything from what we eat to what we wear. Not only is an organic lifestyle better for the environment, but it’s also better for our health.

• Eat Organic Produce: Consuming organic fruits and vegetables will help free your diet of pesticides that are found in non-organic produce sold in grocery stores. Organic produce is often richer in flavor and is better for your body, too.

• Drink Organic Tea: Grown without the use of pesticides and artificial fertilizers, organic tea is known for its health benefits. It contains high levels of polyphenols, a natural type of plant antioxidant known for its ability to fight free radicals, which can speed aging and cancer. The powerful antioxidants can protect against infection, too.*

• Organic Throat Relief: For the first time, there is a new over-the-counter cough and sore throat drop that is Certified USDA Organic - Organix Cough and Sore Throat Drops from the makers of Cold-EEZE. The great-tasting, medicated drops contain natural menthol derived from organic peppermint oil combined with organic pectin to suppress coughs, cool nasal passages and soothe irritated sore throats. To top it off, Organix is available in unique Dark Chocolate Mint flavor, as well as Purely Peppermint, Orchard Cherry, and Golden Honey Lemon. Even the twist wraps of the lozenges are made from fullycompostable corn starch.*

• Buy A Juicer: Homemade juice is a great way to make sure you're getting the recommended number of servings of organic fruits and vegetables. Juices from organic fruits and vegetables are the best juices for the body because they are made fresh, are not pasteurized, are not treated with preservatives and are free of pesticide residue, which helps them retain their full nutritional value. Try a carrot, ginger, celery and apple juice; it's a quick way to rev up the immune system and increase energy.*
