NIN JIOM Pei Pa Koa - Sore Throat Syrup - 100% Natural (Honey Loquat Flavored), 10 Fl Oz

Straight to the point: This Eastern Magic Syrup somehow works incredibly well.About me: I'm a non-Chinese (so no bias) practicing dentistry for about 10 years now & majored in biology in college so I'm familiar with medicine & how it affects the body (but I've never even seen most of these ingredients before haha). I bought a similar honey loquat syrup for my mom's sore throat & cough years ago when it was midnight and all the local pharmacies were closed (no near 24hr one) except for a local Chinese plaza. She said it seemed to work but she really liked the taste. I tried a little & liked the taste too but was skeptical & felt like this was similar to the effect of a cough drop.What I have: 3 nights ago I had a mild sore throat (3/10 pain) with no Koplik spots anywhere, a fever of 102.2, extreme migraine, fatigue/malaise, body ache & neck pain (turned out was unrelated but was the reason along with fever & migraine my doctor told me to go to the ER for possible meningitis or other serious viral infection of the brain), & palpitations. They ER team did 2 throat swab culture tests (flu panel & strep), an EKG, & various blood tests. All came back negative but they said it's definitely viral causing pharyngitis but the worst should be over. My temperature normalized, my migraine cleared, my body aches were almost gone, but my sore throat was about the same (3/10 pain). They told me to return if certain symptoms occur/return. Next day, still no temp but my tonsils & entire throat was red & raw, my tonsils were more swollen, and there was white spots all over my tonsils (possibly Koplik spots). Throat pain was now severe (10/10 pain). I could NOT eat, drink, or swallow without intense pain. I ordered this Chinese Magic Syrup on Amazon due to it's high ratings & my memory of that pleasing taste. With Amazon Prime it gave me an option to get it by 9pm of my 3rd night. I rushed to my Urgent Care on the 2nd night, they swabbed me & said, no bacterial infection still just viral. It's normal for tonsils to undergo more inflammation as your body tries to heal. The white spots were exudates from the white blood cells & viral infection. Just keep taking NSAIDs, drink plenty of water, & rest. They gave me a steroid that they said should work within 1-3 hours for the swelling and pain. 14 hours passed & the pain was still extreme (9/10 to 10/10 pain). Finally the Amazon package arrive at my door a little after 8pm on the 3rd night.How I used the product: The instructions on the back says 1 tablespoon 3/day. I don't think you can overdose on natural herbs & roots so I modified it - 1.25 every 3 hours (I occassionally took a bit extra due to the great taste & soothing feeling like a fire was being put out). I kept it refrigerated. The product was thicker than the similar product I bought a few years ago. The way I used it was to put a drop (1/4 tablespoon) down my throat for the soothing action & thin coating. I let it sit there for a few seconds & drink plenty of cold water (cold so I don't melt it that fast & flush it out) - hydration is key. Then I slowly slurp/lick the rest off my spoon letting as much stay and coat my tonsils & throat as much as I can without gagging. I'm a huge gagger but this was pleasant. It's like drinking in slow motion.Conclusion: I'm on my 4th night since this started. I've taking this Eastern Voodoo Potion for about 18 hours while continuing the instruction by the doctors. My throat pain & swelling has gone down significantly (3/10 pain). My overall feeling continues to improve. I think the ingredients primarily effect the swelling & pain (the inflammation response to the infection) though I don't know whether it's a direct or indirect action. I suspect that it is also stimulating or aiding in the healing process rather than fighting the virus directly. Furthermore, I still doubt this would work as great on a bacterial infection as you would need an antibiotic to heal you. However, I'm sure it would STILL help alongside the antibiotic. Heck, I would NOT be surprised if it worked just as good. Some of the ingredients may also act as a natural antibiotic like some essential oils (a well studied Eastern medicine that does work in various scenarios ... Listerine's been using it for decades but China's used it for thousands of years lol).

This product is amazing! I had the flu cold that's going around, had a seriously raw throat and heavy mucus. Took this before going to bed and my throat quit being painful while coughing. Over the next 2 days the heavy mucus was gone, no sore throat, just a minor cold. It defiantly helped me and my spouse heal far quicker than ever expected. I also bought some for my son who has had lung issues for more than a year, and he got the flu cold thing too, so he tried it out. And wow, he got better too! He'll continue taking it to help his lungs heal. And he's not necessarily a "natural medicine" kind of guy, but he's sold on it too.

One of the best cough syrups I have ever used.Does not make me drowsy, compared to those mixtures which contain antihistamines like diphenhydramine.Does not contain dextromethorphan cough suppressantDoes not contain ephedrine decongeststantDoes not contain any aspirin or acetaminophen pain killers.Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa - Sore Throat Syrup - contains natural ingredients that must have been tested for hundreds if not thousands of years.I could not find anything like this in any pharmacy.It works great with no side-effects and what is more, it tastes so good.

Picture 1: Safety seal of product is already broken upon arrival.Picture 2: The box says "For your protection this package has an imprinted seal on the top flap. Do not use if it is missing or broken." So we requested a replacement, and returned the original order.Picture 3: Amazon Replacement of product ALSO HAS A BROKEN SAFETY SEAL?!!!PLEASE DO NOT SEND OUT PRODUCTS THAT ALREADY HAVE BROKEN SAFETY SEALS! Past this imprinted seal, there is NO OTHER WAY to know if the product has already been tampered with/replaced with a different liquid. The bottle itself has a lid that just pops off. There is no safety seal on the lid itself.The replacement order shows up as a value of $0.00, so if we tried to return this, there will be $0 in refund. Not sure what to do with a sketchy bottle of syrup right now. Would greatly appreciate if the vendor or Amazon could make this right.

I had been suffering serious sore throat for more than a week. It was the worst one I have ever had. I bought this supplement since it has pretty good reviews. I followed the direction to take one tea spoon a time, three times a day. It was tasty and I even took more than one tea spoon a time. I felt 50% better after the first day of use. After the second day, I felt my throat was almost healed, like 90%. It was just amazing.

This was recommend to me by my acupuncturist. I was struggling with the severe chest congestion and cough plague of 2018. This stuff was a miracle! I was able to sleep without coughing the first night and have gotten progressively better since. It helped loosen the gunk in my chest and move it out productively without a 10 min coughing fit. I've been taking it a week now and don't plan on stopping until the plague is over.

I knew I wanted loquat, and then I read the balanced ingredients of this particular product: roots, leaves, stems, rhizomes, blossoms... I experienced instant relief as well as long term support getting over a strep throat and sinus infection that went into the bronchia. Immediately, I mean within a couple hours of taking a big tablespoon, I finally had a night where I could sleep. I am sure the fritillary and honey helped. My dry congestion and "unproductive cough" became loose and breath became soft yet strong. Seemed to fortify me. Tastes like medicine, not herbal sugar! A friend who is more familiar with Chinese herbal remedies told me that if you have infection or congestion, to take it straight, not diluted. It worked! But after my bad cold and a few days of taking it by large spoonful, I started drinking it in hot water, which seemed to make it less powerful, but provided a gentle transition to being well again!

Ich hatte furchtbare Hustenanfälle, mit Husten und Würgen bis mir die Luft weg blieb. Dazu ab dem zweiten Tag starke Schmerzen aller Bauchmuskeln.Antibiotikum und Schmerzmittel des Arztes zeigten, zumindest nach 3 Tagen, nicht die geringste Wirkung.Inzwischen hatte ich diesen Sirup gefunden und bestellt.Die Flasche wurde am Nachmittag zugestellt. Nach 2 Einnahmen (Nachmittags und Abends) KEINE Hustenanfälle mehr.Die Bauchmuskeln konnten anfangen sich zu erholen. In der Nacht kam noch etwas, aber das war nichts im Vergleich mit dem vorherigen Zustand. Erstmalig seit 5 Tagen konnte ich wieder länger als 1 Stunde schlafen.Sensationell!Inzwischen habe ich mir die Informationen über alle enthaltenen Kräuter zusammengesucht. Die Namen waren mir alle bekannt,, aber nicht deren erstaunliche Wirkungen. Zwei davon wachsen sogar bei mir vor dem Haus ( als sogenannte "Unkräuter").Unglaublich, dass dies in China eine "Volksmedizin" ist, während wir hier Chemikalien schlucken die auch nicht billig sind, aber keine oder nur wenig Wirkung haben.Und auch nicht zu verachten: Ich muss keine Antibiotika mehr schlucken bei hartnäckigem Husten.

Ich bin sehr krank in den Urlaub geflogen und hatte typisch deutsche Hustenmedikamente dabei. Nach zwei Nächten ständigem Husten bekam ich von unseren Freunden in Singapur diesen Saft. Nach einem halben Tag löste sich bereits mein schleim und ich musste nicht mehr husten. Dieser Saft besteht aus Wurzeln, Kräutern, Pilzen usw. manchen haben schon mehr als hunderte Jahre Tradition in der chinesischen Medizin.Für mich gehört er daher zur Hausapotheke. Er schmeckt und riecht wie die Kinder M-eukal Bonbons also lecker :-)

Ich verwende dieses höchst wirksame, wohlschmeckende, natürliche Erkältungsmittel seit vielen Jahren. Es wurde mir vor vielen Jahren von einem sehr freundlichen alten Herrn empfohlen als ich während einer Geschäftsreise in Südchina starke Halsschmerzen bekam und meine Stimme versagte. Der Herr schickte seinen Fahrer los um mir das mittel zu besorgen, löste zwei telöffel davon in warmem Wasser und riet mir es in kleinen Schlucken zu trinken, was ich in den darauffolgenden Tagen regelmäßig tat. Schon nach wenigen Schlucken merkte ich eine deutliche Besserung, nach ca. einer halben Stunde konnte ich wieder sprechen und meine Schulung fortsetzen und wenige Tage später waren alle Erkältungs-Symtome verschwunden. ich verreise seither nicht mehr ohne dieses Mittel, nehme es beim ersten kleinen kratzen im Hals und hatte seither keine ernste Erkältung mehr.

This product is not new to me. An honey herb product commonly found in Singapore pharmacy or traditional herbal stores. Taste/flavour is sweet from honey extract with slight herbal taste. It soothes the throat and its effectiveness work well when you are at the beginning stage of slight sore throat and dry cough. My 8 year old likes the flavour of it and has asked for this medicine when she has slight cough. Only thing is the price is on the high side.

Bei kleinstem Anzeichen von Erkältung oder Husten, einfach einen Esslöffel voll in heißes Wassereinrühren und Schlückchenweise trinken. Das ganze 3x am Tag. Bei mir hilft es super.Schmecht dazu auch noch gut. Selbst für Kinder geeignet da ohne Alkohol.
