By the time I actually make it to the doc tomorrow, I’m sure I’ll be told, “it’s just a virus and you’re almost over it,” but after six days of irritated throat, I actually voluntarily tried a sample cup of something that actually lists licorice as the primary ingredient in the hopes that it performs as expected.
Because of the medicinal ingredient lineup, it’s sweet and slimy (thank you, slippery elm), but the orange and cinnamon in the inactive ingredient lineup cut the sweetness enough to make it drinkable. Therapeutic value? Plausible, although any tea with a spicy profile is probably just as comforting.
