The Facts

A sore throat is a very painful inflammation of the mucous membranes. In English it’s that the swollen, burning feeling that you get in your throat most commonly due to having a cold. It’s typically hard to swallow and extremely hard to talk, but a sore throat will go away on it’s own within a week at the most usually. A week may not sound all that long but to someone who has a sore throat it may or may not sound like a life time. This is because it’s quite painful with a burning sensation and extremely hard to speak and swallow, not to mention it is rough to get sleep when infected with a sore throat. Luckily, just as nature always seems to intend, there are natural remedies for sore throats that can help to aid some of the pain or to heal a little faster.

 Liquids Galore

When you have a sore throat, just like when you have a cold or the flu, it is always best to drink plenty of liquids. A good selection of liquids to drink include juices, soups, herbal. Fresh lemon juice in water is very soothing. Popsicles also seem to help those with a sore throat.

Honey’s Recipe

Create a mixture made up of honey and lemon. Take by teaspoon as needed throughout the day and night. This will help to relieve the pain of a sore throat. A dash of whiskey can also be added to the honey and lemon recipe to help ease the pain as well.
