8 NATURAL HOME REMEDIES FOR SORE THROAT

Feb 24, 2023Abb Adeleke

Sore throat symptoms can be really tough and rough. The sides of your neck are sore, swollen and painful. When you try to swallow, your saliva goes down like sandpaper against the sides of your tonsils.

Your throat itches so much and when you try to cough to ease the pain, you wince in more pain. Sometimes it comes with fever and headache. Every single time, your mind is preoccupied with how to make that lump at the back of your throat go away. Yes, I can understand. 

While there are now a number of over-the-counter medications to treat sore throats, you can attest to the fact that nothing beats nature. And of course, nature has blessed us with a number of things present in our kitchens that can help alleviate this problem quick and fast. Let me take you through a number of these natural home remedies to sore throats now. 

1. SALT 

Salt water is a great home remedy for sore throat, as it can reduce swelling and calm inflammation and irritation. What warm salty water does when you gargle it is, it helps to draw infections or irritants from inside the tonsils to the surface of your throat, where your body is better able to deal with them. 

HOW DO YOU USE SALTY WATER TO COMBAT SORE THROAT? 

Dissolve 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a glass cup of warm water and gargle every hour or two. 

2. TUMERIC

Some spices you have in your kitchen are more medicinal than you can imagine. One of them is tumeric.
 
Tumeric is known to have the potential to prevent cancer or brain diseases and also to combat inflammation. These anti-inflammatory powers are able to get rid of your sore throat. 

HOW DO YOU USE TUMERIC TO COMBAT SORE THROAT? 

Add a few dashes to your herbal tea or salt-water and gargle. Pour the residue out of your mouth and repeat. 

3. HONEY

Honey is one of the most popular ingredients in cough syrups and teas. You might have wondered why. This is because of its antibacterial properties. It can also greatly help with your sore throat. Not only is its sweetness a big plus but when you coat your throat with honey, it will help reduce irritation to a great extent. 

HOW DO YOU USE HONEY TO COMBAT SORE THROAT? 

Add a tablespoon of honey to a glass cup of warm water or tea and sip away. Repeat until you feel your symptoms ease up.

4. BAKING SODA 

Gargling with baking soda and salt water mixture can also help relieve a sore throat. This mixture solution will kill bacteria and prevent the growth of fungi.

HOW DO YOU USE BAKING SODA WATER TO COMBAT SORE THROAT?  

Get a cup of warm water, add 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda and 1/8 teaspoon of salt. Gargle the solution while gently swishing. 
Use the rinse three or four times a day and follow up by rinsing your mouth with plain water.

5. GARLIC

Garlic has natural antibacterial properties as well. It contains allicin, a compound known for its ability to fight off infections, Garlic can help prevent and treat upper respiratory tract infections, and these same respiratory tract infections are the ones that may potentially cause a sore throat.

HOW DO YOU USE GARLIC TO COMBAT SORE THROAT?  

Simply try chewing a garlic clove or add a teaspoon of garlic powder in warm water and gargle. 
NB: You may want to brush your teeth afterward to protect them from enzymes and improve your breath.

6. CAYENNE PEPPER OR HOT SAUCE 

Cayenne pepper contains capsaicin, a natural compound known for blocking pain receptors.

HOW DO YOU USE CAYENNE PEPPER OR HOT SAUCE TO COMBAT SORE THROAT?  

Start with a light sprinkle of cayenne or a few drops of hot sauce, as both can be very hot. Mix with warm water and honey and sip slowly. Keep in mind that an initial burning sensation is common.Do not use if you have open sores in your mouth.

7. ICY COLD ORANGE JUICE

Drinking orange juice with ice can also soothe a sore throat by numbing the area while also providing vitamin C.
Simply add some ice cubes in a glass of cold orange juice and sip down your throat. Allow the ice to act on the surface of your throat for better impact.

8. REST

At the end of the day, resting up may be just what you need. If you feel a sore throat coming on, try to take it easy and ensure you’re getting enough sleep.
Sleep loss can increase your risk of developing an infection. So, try to get some rest. 
 
  
PS: If symptoms persist after three days, you might have to go see your doctor.

  • My name is Hailey Garcia and I am from New Jersey. My herpes virus turned to war after 2 years of living with it. I have tried different medical procedures to cure my herpes but to no avail. Most people think herpes is only a minor skin irritation of which herpes has long term effects on health and passes through the bloodstream and can be easily contracted through sexual intercourse. I knew I had herpes from the first day I started feeling itchy in my pubic area and the pain was very unbearable. I couldn’t stand it anymore. After 2 years of trying other means to get rid of it, I had to contact Doctor AGBON to help me with a permanent cure. I saw his email and whats-app number from a testimony I read online from a lady who was also helped by him in curing infertility problems, I had faith and contacted him. He assured me of his work and I ordered his herbal medicine. Within 5 days, I didn’t feel any pain anymore and within 2 weeks, my skin was all cleared and smooth. I am very grateful to you sir and I write this testimony as others have done to bring those having faith to you sir. If you have herpes or other similar disease and you want it cured, kindly contact Doctor AGBON, WhatsApp Number :+2349058797761

  • I would like to let all know that the size of your Penis really matters in your relationship or marriage. I got married to my wife about 1 month after we met on a photo studio, we lived happily for the first 3 months of our marriage until i and my wife started having quarrels at home because i couldn’t satisfy her on bed with my little penis. Actually my penis was very small, it measured about 4.5 inch long on erection and i am 39 years old. My wife said it was forbidden by the women of this world. My wife started sleeping with other men outside. Sometimes i will return from work without finding my wife at home and whenever i call or ask her where she was, she will always snub at me and sometimes just tell me to go get a larger dick. All this continued for a long time and it hurt me so much that i was at the edge of breaking up on the marriage till when i read about a doctor called DR.believe. online. I never thought i could smile and be in a happy marriage again if not for the help of DR.believe I got the doctors Emails:(drbelieve921@gmail.com ) on the internet and i emailed him, and he got back to me with some encouraging words, he got me some herbs cream which i use for just 8 days and i began to feel the enlargement of my penis, and without surgery. This went on for a little period of about 10 days and to my surprise my wife keeps screaming that she love my big dick now. Now my wife no longer cheat on me, and my penis is now about 10.5 inches long on erection and off course very large round. And now my wife uses breasts, hips and bums enlargement.

  • Anyone diagnosed with HSV-2 needs to be careful not to fall into any of these online traditional-medical doctors who will just take your money and render you empty help. I fell victim several times just Because I was HSV-2 positive. Not until I found Dr. Ogedegbe who cured me with his natural herbal medicine, and his medicine acted fast without any side effects. You can connect with him with his call/whatsapp +2349121737553 or email dr.ogedegbe6@gmail.com
