If you can help it, you don’t need those over-the-counter medications to soothe your sore throat. There are many easy and natural alternatives to relieving your sore throat.

Do not undervalue the natural brine (salt and water) solution

Heal your sore throat naturally by mixing salt and lukewarm water. Gargling it three times a day, or whenever necessary can help ease the discomforts of sore throat.

Unleash the wonders of apple cider vinegar

Using apple cider vinegar is one of the smartest ways to heal your sore throat naturally. Fermented and processed apples contain vitamins and minerals, and malic acid that aide in combating fungal and bacterial infections.

Stir apple cider vinegar in warm water. Gargle three times, spewing the liquid the first two times. The third time you gargle, swallow the vinegar-water solution. Repeat whenever needed.

Believe in the healing power of Horseradish and honey

Horseradish roots, fortified with loads of Vitamin C, have therapeutic and germicidal properties known to be an effective cure for sore throat.

Boil grated horseradish roots combined with a little honey and water for approximately 5 minutes to make some syrup. Sieve the pulp and extract all its juices. Take as much as 5 tablespoons of the syrup until your sore throat disappears.

Discover your own hands’ ability to heal

Massage therapy has been known to be an alternative healing therapy, which is effective in fighting stress, boosting immunity and improving oxygen circulation.

You can alleviate mild symptoms of sore throat by simple massaging the sides and front of your neck.

Experience the combined potency of onion and honey.

Onion has innumerable health benefits. In fact, it possesses powerful antiseptic and antibacterial properties. Honey, on the other hand, fights bacteria and has been a known sore throat cure.

Put a few slices of onion in a cup. Put some honey in it, cover the cup and leave it soaked for one hour. After that, swallow 1 spoon of the honey. Repeat it a few hours thereafter to get relief.

 

Behold nature’s ”Wonder Drug”

Not only is garlic used as a condiment, it is also known to heal your sore throat naturally.  It has been used as a medicine all over the world for more than 2000 years now.

Just simply chewing it well before swallowing can provide a great relief to your aching throat.

Take note of Hydrogen Peroxide’s sizzling efficacy

Hydrogen peroxide’s aggressive oxidizing properties have made it a potent solution to exterminate bacteria and fungi.

As long as you use it moderately, hydrogen peroxide can expedite the healing of your sore throat.

Add less than 3% hydrogen peroxide on to a glass of water. You will be able to notice if you added more than 3% because of the caustic sensation in your mouth. Gargle the mixture for not longer than 20 seconds. Taking longer than that will scald off your tongue and taste buds.

Do not overlook dry friction bathing, this is an invaluable routine

Dry friction bath is an ancient technique to enhance the skin’s ability to detoxify itself. Most people have not seen dry friction bath as an ingenious way of healing sore throat naturally.

This can be done with merely a rough dry towel and a moderately soft-bristled brush. Rub your skin gently all over.

Conclusion

Aside from these home remedies, you should also take into consideration some other important factors that might have had you susceptible to catching a sore throat:

  • If you’re smoking, you might want to look at the possibility of minimizing and gradually quitting such a debilitating vice.
  • Drink plenty of water and double your vitamin C intake. Choose beneficial diet options, no junk food.
  • Practice healthy lifestyle. Exercise.
