Get Rid of Your Sore Throat Quickly..

Sore throats and colds and flu’s go hand in hand with one another, but still, a sore throat can strike at any time, even if you haven’t been exposed to any harmful cold or flu germs. Although sore throats aren’t life threatening, they are still very painful, and can cause you a great deal of discomfort and distress. 

 Here are some natural remedies for getting rid of a sore throat fast..

Gargle with plain salt water –

Simply take a glass, fill it with warm water, and add a tea spoon of salt. Stir the salt in until it’s completely dissolved in the solution, and you’re then ready to begin gargling. 

Ensure the liquid reaches all the way to the back of your throat, tilt your head backwards, and then gargle with the water for around thirty seconds. When you have finished, spit the water out. Make sure you don’t swallow the liquid, as although it’s completely safe, it will still taste pretty disgusting.

Gargle with Cayenne pepper –

 Much like the salt water gargle, take a glass and fill it with around 8 ounces of warm water. Once the glass is full, add a generous pinch of Cayenne pepper, and stir until it’s fully dissolved. Make sure that you add a decent sized PINCH of Cayenne pepper, rather than a spoon full. 

A spoon full would be way too much, and could actually burn your throat and hurt you further, rather than help you. Once the pepper is completely dissolved, simply gargle with the solution for around a minute. This solution is especially effective against nagging sore throats that just will not go away. Where antibiotics have failed in the past to kill off a sore throat after several weeks, this cayenne pepper-warm water solution has done the job on numerous occasions.

Drink plenty of water and other natural fluids –

Water helps to thin out secretions in the throat which could be causing some irritation. Not only that, but keeping your body hydrated will help it to fight off the infection much quicker.

Get plenty of Vitamin C –

 Vitamin C is great for the body’s immune system, which is what helps to kill of viruses, diseases and infections. The more Vitamin C you ingest, the stronger the immune system becomes, and before you know it, it will have killed off the sore throat virus for good. Vitamin C tablets are great, as well as fruit juices and fruits such as Apples and Oranges.

Drink honey and lemon juice –

 Honey and lemon juice is arguably the most popular and effective method for curing a sore throat. Simply mix a tea spoon or two of honey, with a good squeeze of lemon juice, in a glass of warm water. 

 If you are using lemon juice, make sure it’s the juice from a freshly squeezed lemon,The juice contained in those is packed with added artificial preservatives and additives and will do you more harm than good.
