MANILA, Philippines - Talking for long hours can take a toll on your voice and cause serious throat problems if not given the proper treatment. Hoarseness is the most common voice disorder caused by irritated or inflamed vocal cords in the larynx. Aside from prolonged voice use, a number of factors may lead to voice hoarseness, such as acid reflux, smoking, and drinking too much caffeinated and alcoholic beverages. If hoarseness persists, it’s best to consult your doctor. But to immediately ease vocal irritation, Kapal Api Group, one of the biggest companies in Indonesia, has developed an interesting way to enjoy ginger, a well-known healing agent. The first Ginger Chewy Candy in the Philippines, Gingerbon relaxes the vocal cords with the warm soothing effect of ginger. It relieves voice stress without the hassle of brewing ginger or dealing with its often strong flavor. Exclusively distributed by ADP Industries Corporation, Gingerbon is available in both regular and extra strong varieties and comes in two sizes: 20 grams for those who want ginger on the go and 125 grams for stocking up at home or in the office. Gingerbon is available at all leading drugstores, convenience stores, and supermarkets nationwide.
