About Echinaforce® Sore Throat Spray
A.Vogel’s Sore Throat Spray is made from the well-known herbal remedy Echinaforce® combined with Sage tincture and Peppermint oil and is a herbal remedy indicated for the treatment of pain, inflammation and infections of the mouth (stomatitis) and throat, such as pharyngitis, tonsillitis, sore throats and hoarseness associated with coughs, colds and flu. It can also be used for general mouth hygiene.
Echinaforce® provides an antiviral, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory and immune modulatory action. Sage provides additional anti-inflammatory and antibacterial benefits while the peppermint oil has a cooling, soothing swift pain-relieving action.
Although any of the remedies in the range of Echinaforce® Echinacea drops or tablets can be used to treat sore throats, this remedy has a specially designed nozzle and spray pump, designed to deliver the dosage directly to the painful and irritated areas at the back of the throat. It is convenient to use and does not require water to take.
Proven to be effective, with research showing Echinaforce® Sore Throat Spray is as fast-acting and effective as a market leading Swiss clorhexidine/lidocaine throat spray. The only difference is this spray is 100% natural and made from fresh plant extracts.
The plants used to produce A.Vogel Sore Throat Spray are cultivated organically in Switzerland at our own herb farms.
The benefit of using freshly harvested plant material to make our herbal remedies has been demonstrated in research – extracts of echinacea produced from fresh plants contain almost 3 times more active substances compared to those prepared from equivalent amounts of dried herb.*

A.Vogel Sore Throat Spray comes in a bottle with a specially designed pump spray:
