Thieves Cough Drops: The Natural Remedy Everyone’s Talking About

When cold and cough season hits (or any season), most people reach for whatever cough drop is sitting on the drugstore shelf. But if you’ve ever flipped the package over, you know the truth: most mainstream cough drops are loaded with sugar, dyes, synthetic flavors, and ingredients that help the cough drop last on the shelf — not so much to help your body.
That’s why Thieves Cough Drops have become a cult favorite (and a fast sell-out every winter!) — they’re powerful, clean, effective, and officially recognized by the FDA as an over-the-counter cough drop. That’s a huge win for natural wellness lovers everywhere.
Let’s talk about why these little drops are beloved by moms, grammys, teachers, musicians, and even a few celebrities.
What Makes Thieves Cough Drops Different?
Clean Ingredients You Can Trust
Young Living designed these drops with zero sugar, zero artificial sweeteners, zero dyes, zero synthetic anything. They’re sweetened naturally with honey, lemon essential oil, and menthol (8mg), which give them that warm-cool sensation you feel as soon as you pop one in.
Inside each drop you’ll find:
Thieves Essential Oil Blend (clove, cinnamon bark, lemon, eucalyptus radiata, rosemary) — powerful, warming, cleansing oils that help soothe the throat and support your body’s natural defenses.
Peppermint Essential Oil — opens the sinuses, cools the throat, and helps you breathe easier.
Lemon Essential Oil — brightens the flavor and helps break up that “stuffy” feeling.
Menthol from natural mint — offers fast cooling comfort and helps silence stubborn coughs.
Stevia — the “good kind” of natural sweeteners, gentle on your blood sugar and your body
What you WON'T find:
No corn syrup.
No red dyes.
No artificial flavors
No preservatives
No sucralose.
No junk. Just pure, plant-based goodness so we can rest easy.
🌬️ Faster Relief: They Work in Minutes
Most cough drops coat your throat with sugar syrup. Thieves Cough Drops actually opens your airways.
The peppermint + eucalyptus + menthol combination helps:
Clear sinuses
Ease chest tightness
Calm coughing spells
Cool the throat
Break through mucus
Many people notice their cough quiets in just 2–3 minutes, and breathing becomes noticeably easier.

Singers and public speakers love them because:
They don’t dry out the throat.
They don’t contain sugar (which thickens mucus).
They’re strong enough to cut through congestion without harsh chemicals.
They’re natural — so they support vocal health instead of straining it.
Other musicians and voice professionals have shared their love for them too, especially in winter tours when sickness spreads fast.
PRO TIP: Dissolve 1 drop slowly in mouth every 2 hours as needed.
CHOIR MEMBERS LOVE THEM!
"I sing in my church choir and often suffer from postnasal drip in the mornings. I keep Thieves Cough Drops on my music stand for times when I feel the urge to cough or clear my throat. One Sunday, a choir buddy said, "I smell Thieves". I raised my hand and told her about them and gave her one. I noticed she too keeps one on her stand now." - Jina M.

A Wellness Win: FDA-Approved for “Cough Suppressant”
This is huge. Natural products rarely get recognized by the FDA — but Young Living’s Thieves Cough Drops are officially approved for over-the-counter use as a cough drop.
That means:
The ingredients meet and surpass the FDA's strict OTC standards and rigorous trials.
The drops are proven to relieve coughs.
They qualify as a legitimate medicinal option, not just a “natural remedy”.
It’s a major milestone for the natural wellness community.
Grab Them While You Can — They Sell Out Quickly
If you’ve been around Young Living for more than a season, you already know...
Thieves Cough Drops disappear fast.
People stock up because:
They actually work.
They’re clean.
Kids can take them (5 years and older)
They’re powerful enough for adults.
They replace every other cough drop in your cabinet.
If you want them for fall and winter, don’t wait. The message "Coming Back Soon" is all too familiar. So, if they are in stock, buy two bags!
Final Thoughts
If you want a cough drop that checks every box — effective, clean, fast-acting, kid-safe, throat-soothing, sinus-opening, and singer-approved — then Thieves Cough Drops are the gold standard.
This winter, trade the red-dyed, sugary, artificially flavored lozenges for something
that actually supports your wellness.
Your throat… your voice… and your sinuses will thank you.
