Could someone help identify? They have 3 varieties and seem like some herbal pills for something? Thanks

Seems like some freely available herbal lozenges for cough/aching throat etc.

The equal headline of all packages is "ya om samunphrai" = herbal medicine.

This one:

Herbal cough pills, mystery solved

Available in three flavors.

Salty Chinese plum/apricot?

Lime

Orange

Maybe some Thai proficient members could doublecheck the description on their website.

These are given out by pharmacists as a stop smoking aid - think it's just due to the stong flavour to be honest (they are very flavourful)

Spot on. Wifey got me some a while ago for a sore throat.

Help a little but not as good as a shot of Southern Comfort :-)

My wife uses them all the time for sore throats. I find that have just a little bit too much "chemical" taste to them. The product that all Thais must have in the bottom of their sock drawer is the Poh Sian stick inhaler. I would like to own that product. They sell millions. Everyday you see one of them stuck up some gals nose.

I've used them for years, cheap and if you don't like those sweet cough drops and don't mine the sour bitter taste. It helps but if you have a bad cold you will need something stronger. There is another one you can buy, it comes in a white packet with blue or black writing has two worms with lots of legs. I like this one better.

One interested side effect is that you will get your neck impregnated ... if Google translate is anything to go by.

"liquorice puree" sounds yummy.

I have used these for over 10 years, great for a nagging cough, just dissolve a couple in your mouth and bingo the cough has gone,

Yes my missus had me recently send her some back to the uk .. Cold / flu. She says .

That's solved then !

They are for coughing.

Question answered/ item explained, seems little point in leaving this open.
