Ricola

Alpine herb drops

Ricola is a Swiss brand of herbal cough drops and throat lozenges, known for its distinctive blend of thirteen alpine herbs.

The name has become nearly synonymous with herbal throat remedies, largely through advertisements featuring an alphorn and the drawn-out call Ri-co-la!

The brand name sometimes appears generically for any herbal lozenge.
