Olbas Menthol Pastilles 45g

PROS:1) EFFICACIOUS2) INEXPENSIVE3) FANTASTIC FOR PUBLIC SPEAKERS AND EDUCATORS4) GREAT IF YOU SUFFER WITH PND (MUCOUS DROPPING DOWN YOUR THROAT WHILST YOU SLEEPCONS:1) “VERY” ACQUIRED TASTE IN FACT, THEY CAN TASTE AWFUL UNTIL YOU PERSEVEREAbout 28 years ago I was a marketing manager for a professional membership body. Par of the job was doing guest lectures and public speaking. One of the directors, was an ex-Royal Navy Captain (equivalent army rank (full) Colonel). He recommended I try Olbas Oil Pastilles to help my throat when speaking for long sessions. I did, and they worked. Tucking one up in your upper sulcus (where your gum meets your mouth) let’s it dissolve and lubricate your throat. In fact they are so efficacious, for many years I didn’t ever leave home without a packet on me.Then, a few years back, they seemed to drop off from the usual high street chemists, and I ended up going back to ending up hoarse. Having said that I found Aldi’s Extra Strong Mints to be an excellent substitute. Then typically, they stopped selling them, and every other brand never worked like Aldi’s. So imagine my joy when I came across the Olbas Oil Pastilles on Amazon! To make it even sweeter, they’re at least £1 cheaper than high street chemists when they did sell them.Of course, there has to be a downside and these pastilles actually do have one. They are vile when the sugar coating wears off. However, after a whole packet has been consumed you acclimatise to the taste and you’ll never go back due to the vocal benefits. Persevere with them, they are worth it. Not only do I still have to do a vast amount of talking, but I also suffer with post nasal drip (PND). It’s always when I have a cold or am congested. When I sleep, nasal mucous, drops down the back of my throat and causes hoarseness and soreness. Again, there is nothing better for easing PND and getting your voice back to normal. Trust me, these are the best there is. BUY THEM, THEY’RE DOTTORE APPROVED!!!

Not easy to get over the counter, arrived the next day, help clear the nose.

Great to be able to buy online because I can't get them in any shop.

These tasty lozenges are nice to suck slowly. The sugary outside is pleasant and then the stronger menthol comes into play clearing the breathing passages!

Classic, great for clearing stuffed sinuses, and they freshen up the breath while they are at it

Sore throat.

Worked well giving my blocked nose some relief

Nice thank you
