Herbal Troche for Sore Throat & Throat Inflammation Relief: Cheongin-Yukwaehwan
Hansarang Korean Medicine Clinic in Daerim-dong, Seoul introduces Cheongin-Yukwaehwan, a modern herbal formula designed to relieve sore throat and throat inflammation. Based on the classic prescription Gamgil-tang, this troche-type medicine provides convenient and natural relief for throat discomfort.
Understanding Sore Throat and Throat Inflammation
The throat, composed of the pharynx and larynx, can easily become inflamed due to colds, pollution, or vocal strain. This inflammation causes pain, hoarseness, and discomfort when swallowing. Cheongin-Yukwaehwan helps calm these symptoms by reducing heat and inflammation in the throat.
Key Ingredients and Origin: Gamgil-tang
Cheongin-Yukwaehwan originates from Gamgil-tang (甘桔湯), a simple yet effective combination of Glycyrrhizae Radix (Licorice Root) and Platycodi Radix (Balloon Flower Root). This classic pairing has been used for centuries in Korean and Chinese medicine for throat pain and cough relief.
Licorice root has strong anti-inflammatory and soothing properties, while Balloon Flower Root helps expel phlegm and directs the medicine’s action toward the throat. Together, they promote smooth breathing and reduce throat irritation.
Troche-Type Herbal Medicine for Modern Use
Cheongin-Yukwaehwan comes in a troche (lozenge) form that dissolves slowly in the mouth, making it convenient for modern lifestyles. It is less bitter than traditional decoctions and easy to carry and take during daily activities.
The general dosage is 1 tablet, 3 to 6 times a day, whenever throat discomfort appears. For those avoiding sugar, a sugar-free version known as Cheongin-Yukwaehwan LS is also available.
Who Can Benefit from Cheongin-Yukwaehwan
- People with sore throats during early cold symptoms
- Individuals who experience pain when swallowing
- Those with frequent tonsil inflammation or redness
- Teachers, singers, and speakers who use their voice often
- People exposed to dust, fine particles, or dry air
Recommended Herbal Combinations
For hoarseness and laryngeal inflammation, Hyangseong-Pajeokhwan can be taken together.
If coughing or phlegm accompanies throat pain, Bipa-Jinhae-go is helpful. Those with nasal congestion may also benefit from combining Tongbidan.
