Fisherman’s Friend Monday, June 25, 2018
Eucalyptus and menthol essences, which are extracted from the eucalyptus plant, are very popular for their variety of uses. From providing quick relief to a variety of health concerns to being popular cosmetic ingredients, these two compounds have proven their effectiveness ever since they were first utilized during the ancient times. The popularity of these two compounds remains strong nowadays, with their application used in aromatherapy, beauty products, and other usages where it requires instant relief.
There are over 400 different species of eucalyptus in the world. Also called the “blue gum”, the leaves of its plant are known to be rich in antioxidants called flavonoids and tannins which help reduce inflammation.
Menthol, on the other hand, is a minty, organic substance that can be derived from a variety of sources like peppermint, eucalyptus, and pennyroyal. The compound is well-known for its health benefits when taken orally or topically.
Both menthol and eucalyptus are very effective in providing instant relief. In particular, the two are very popular for their usage in relieving throat problems. Menthol, in particular, is commonly used on cough medicines and drops to provide relief on throat irritations, coughs, and other mouth problems. Eucalyptus, on the other hand, has been used for centuries to cure sore throat due to its menthol scent and flavor.
For instant throat relief, one very effective solution is to take lozenges infused with the said compounds. One brand which has mastered its menthol lozenges is Fisherman’s Friend. First developed by pharmacist James Lofthouse as a solution that can provide instant relief for fishermen, the brand has continuously innovated itself by producing new flavors that fit the changing tastes of its consumers.
