Sore throat remedies?!
Question: Sore throat remedies?
Answers:
A good way to cure sore throats is to use mouth wash. You want to get the kind that burns a little though, because that is the kind that most effectively kills bacteria, which is what causes most sore throats in the first place.
Herbal Therapy:
Try gargling with golden seal tea, says Varro E. Tyler, Ph.D., professor of pharmacognosy at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. To make the tea, Dr. Tyler says to pour boiling water over one to two teaspoon over the dried herb, which you can buy in most health food stores.
Steep for ten minutes, strain to remove the herb and cool before using as a mouthwash, he says.
Sage is another good choices for a sore throat, according to Dr. Tyler. He says to chop two teaspoons of fresh leaves (available in most health food stores), then pour boiling water over them and steep for tn minutes.
Strain the tea to remove the leaves and cool before using as a mouthwash, he says.
Dr. Tyler suggests that you repeat the gargles as necessary for a maximum of two to three days.
