Natural cures for a sore throat
Categories: Healthy Habits, Healthy Recipes, Diet & Weight Loss
For many people--myself included--sore throats are a common occurrence when the snow flies. But instead of reaching for over-the-counter cold medicine and pain relievers, why not try a natural remedy first? Fitsugar recently came up with a long list of things to try:
- Gargle several times a day with warm salt water
- Or, try warm water with a pinch of cayenne pepper. It sounds painful but apparently it will numb the pain
- For the ultimate home remedy, try combining a teaspoon of apple-cider vinegar with a teaspoon of honey, a pinch of cayenne pepper and a few squeezes of lemon. Drink four times a day.
- Drinking tea with honey can help a scratchy throat and a cough.
- Cold food helps too. Try a Popsicle.
- A humidifier will help keep a dry throat moist.
