When should you take these liquid-core throat lozenges?
Puressentiel Respiratory Liquid-Center Throat Lozenges are a dietary supplement in the form of lozenges whose liquid center contains acacia, eucalyptus, and thyme honey, propolis, and essential oils of eucalyptus globulus and cardamom. They are part of Puressentiel’s respiratory comfort line.
They help soothe the throat, pharynx, and strained vocal cords, making them popular among people who talk a lot or whose voices are put to the test.
As the lozenge melts, it releases its liquid honey center, which coats the throat. The essential oils of eucalyptus and cardamom provide a refreshing sensation.
Adults should take 6 lozenges per day, and children ages 6 and up should take 3 lozenges per day. They are free of artificial colors, preservatives, and gluten.
When discomfort is caused by a runny nose draining into the throat, nasal hygiene complements the lozenges. For this, we recommend the Vicks Nasaly Eau de Mer Jet Tonique spray, which contains no essential oils and does not interact with those in the lozenges.

Our Experts’ Advice on Cœur Liquide Throat Lozenges
The most common mistake with throat lozenges is taking them well beyond the recommended dose because the discomfort persists. Six lozenges per day is the maximum for adults, partly due to the essential oils. If your throat remains sore after a few days, you don’t need another lozenge—you need to see a doctor.
For a strained voice, staying hydrated is the first step: drink water regularly, avoid excessively dry air and tobacco, and give your voice a rest.
