Natural sprays to soothe throats and support immune function this winter

As winter sets in across Aotearoa, so too does the rise in sniffles, scratchy throats and seasonal bugs – especially for school-aged kids and busy adults. Now is the perfect time to get ahead with natural, preventative support that’s gentle, effective, and easy to use.

Harker Herbals' trusted Throat Spray range – with options for both adults and children aged 5–12 – helps soothe irritation and strengthen your natural defences before winter illness takes hold.

Why act now?

Winter brings more time indoors, closer contact with others, and a higher risk of exposure to viruses and bacteria. A herbal throat spray is a smart, everyday way to help:

• Soothe throat discomfort early
• Reduce bacteria linked to sore throats
• Support healthy immune and inflammatory responses
• Protect the throat during high-exposure situations (school, travel, work)

Perfect for schoolbags, handbags, car kits, flights or keeping close at home, these convenient sprays are a must-have for winter wellness.
