These \u003cstrong\u003eHimalaya lozenges\u003c\/strong\u003e combine honey with a blend of Indian spices and essential oils, in a fresh orange flavour. Each Koflet-H contains 126mg of honey. You let it melt slowly in your mouth. A box contains 12 pieces in two strips of six, handy for your jacket pocket or bag. And because all the spices are listed on the label with their quantities, you know exactly what you are putting in your mouth. That is not always the case with herbal sweets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is in a Koflet-H lozenge\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base is simple: sugar, glucose syrup and honey. A range of spices that you may already know from Indian cuisine is added. Terminalia chebula (known as haritaki in India, the dried fruit of a tropical tree) is the largest plant-based ingredient, with 7.31mg of extract per piece. Furthermore, clove oil, galangal (a relative of ginger), ginger, long pepper, black pepper, Acacia catechu, cardamom oil and cinnamon oil are included. For the flavour, an orange oil aroma is added. Menthol provides that familiar cooling sensation in your mouth. Good to know: the manufacturer does not add any artificial colours or preservatives. Clove oil comes from the dried flower buds of the clove tree, the same buds you might have in a jar in your kitchen cupboard. You probably know cardamom and cinnamon from chai, the Indian herbal tea. Acacia catechu is less well known in the Netherlands: it is an extract from the heartwood of a species of acacia that grows in India and is also used there in paan. The quantities of the oils are small, but you can taste them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAyurveda, the tradition behind Himalaya\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHimalaya is an Indian brand that has been working with herbs from ayurveda since 1930. That is the traditional Indian teaching about nutrition and lifestyle, in which herbs such as haritaki, long pepper and ginger have a permanent place. What many people do not know: the combination of long pepper, black pepper and ginger is called 'trikatu' in that tradition, literally 'three pungent'. You also find that trio in these lozenges. In practice, this means that a lozenge not only tastes sweet, but also has a slightly spicy, herbal undertone. By the way, Himalaya is a large company, with production in Bengaluru. The Koflet-H you buy here is the European version, with an English-Polish label and an importer in Latvia. That version was brought to the European market as a food supplement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to use Koflet-H\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany people wonder how many lozenges you can take per day. In short: adults take a maximum of four per day, spread throughout the day. You do not chew them, but let them dissolve slowly. This allows the flavour of honey and spices to be released slowly. A box of 12 pieces is therefore enough for three days if you stick to the full daily dose. Children under 6 years do not use these honey lozenges. Store the box in a dry place below 30 degrees and not in the refrigerator, because then the lozenges can stick together. By the way: a lozenge weighs approximately 2.8 grams and consists mostly of sugar and glucose syrup. Keep that in mind if you are watching your sugar intake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, Koflet-H Orange is a herbal lozenge with honey, made according to a recipe from the ayurvedic tradition. If you prefer a different flavour, Himalaya also makes the same formula in a lemon variant. The composition with Terminalia chebula, clove and the three peppers remains the same, only the aroma differs. This way you simply choose the flavour you find the tastiest in these lozenges.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Himalaya","offers":[{"title":"Orange","offer_id":54899639124306,"sku":"Himalaya-049","price":2.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/Himalaya-049.jpg?v=1790776332","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.nl\/en\/products\/koflet-h-orange-zuigtabletten-met-honing","provider":"LUTO Supplements","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
