Winter is upon us,so is cold and flu season. Which means sore throats. Augh! Or perhaps
you are like me and when you get run down you get a sore throat. Not fun! I could deal with
being tired, but the sore throat just makes me cranky. :(
Vinegar. |
There are several all natural, cheap at home remedy you can do. I like to either gargle
with warm water and salt. And/or drink fresh lemon tea. I squeeze 1/2 a lemon into a mug,
add boiling water, then honey to taste. You should do both about every 2 hours.
Cayenne pepper is also a great remedy for sore throats. Though I have not been brave
enough to try. You can gargle or even swallow, cayenne pepper with water. I heard it works
GREAT in sore throats.
Another at home remedy you can do to relieve your sore throat is mix a glass of hot water
with a tablespoon or more of honey and wait for it...vinegar. Yuck! But it works awesome!! I
would prefer this to cayenne pepper. I just don't do hot things.
Vinegar acts as an astringent, which clears secretions and it restore your pH balance. It
helps stop bacteria growth. Honey is an anti-inflammatory. You could also just eat a spoon of
honey to help coat and heal your throat.
What do you use on a sore throat? Do you have any other home remedies? I would love to
hear what you do.
For His glory,
