Best cold medicine for stuffed nose and sore throat?
Answers:
Since you posted this in alternative medicine im going to throw this out there. I am an herbal student and i use this home remedy for myself and my kids..it gets rid of any sore throat problem including strep in 24 hours.
1 tablespoon pure honey
4 cloves pressed fresh garlic
1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon of ground red (cayenne) pepper (grocery store spice section is fine)
mix it up and take a teaspoon of the mixture every half hour to hour. The honey has anitseptic properties and will make the mixture stick to the troat. Garlic is antibiotic and will kill any germs or viruses on the troat tissue. The cayenne will help increase circulation to the tissue and carry away the germs killed. Cayenne is also a great healer and will speed the healing of any broken tissues. It also has pain reliving properties. This mixture feels like a warm blanket from the inside out. You want it to stick to the throat so dont drink anything just after taking it. And rememver you have to take it ever half hour to hour. It will also stimulate your entire immune system for that stuffy nose to.
Take echinacea 2 capsules every hour to. (if you have autoimmune problems or diseases or are on certian meds than you need to check for interactions with echinacea...mostly immune suppressant drugs or some antidepressants)
