Sore throat remedies to sing about

I would rather throw up than have a sore throat. I know, TMI. But it's true. Having a sore throat, for me, is worse than just about every other minor ailment you can think of.

I've finally discovered something -- actually, two -- that work for me to calm the soreness without numbing my whole mouth. (I hate that, too.) And they are both herbal remedies. (I love those.) Slippery elm and licorice root. The former comes in lozenge form. The latter, usually in tea. They are among the remedies mentioned in this article.

So, I'm certainly not the first to discover these. But if this is news to you, give them a try. If you like them, great. You don't have to sing. Just spread the word.
