The 10 best tips for sore throat
Attention: These home remedies for sore throat are usually not for gourmets. Only and only the effect is in the foreground here.
salt water
Dissolve some salt (preferably coarse sea salt) in a glass of lukewarm water and gargle with it every 2-3 hours. The salt has a disinfecting and analgesic effect.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Dilute some apple cider vinegar with a glass of water or lemonade and drink. Repeat this several times a day.
tea
Drink a lot of tea (for example sage, chamomile, fennel or peppermint) in very small sips. Of course, the tea should not be quite hot any more and at best be mixed with a spoonful of honey per cup.
olive oil
A teaspoon of pure olive oil does not taste great at all, but it does a great job against the pain and scratching when swallowing.
onion juice
Slice a large onion and place in a glass with a screw cap. Cover with sugar and seal. The juice which forms in it after some time, several times a day (1-2 tablespoons) drink.
honey milk
Mix a cup of warm milk with honey. At best, honey is taken from the beekeeper in the area. This honey contains more antibacterial active ingredients than the honey from the supermarket.
cinnamon
Dissolve cinnamon and sugar in a glass of warm water and drink. Alternatively, take a whole cinnamon stick and chew on it. Although this is a crumbly affair, it is even more effective.
ginger
Cut off a piece of fresh ginger root about 3-4 cm long, peel it and then cut into small cubes. The cubes are boiled for about 10 minutes in one liter of water and then sifted the broth in a cup. Of these you drink a cup 2-3 times a day. The whole thing is refined at best with a little honey.
Natural cloudy apple juice
Heat a cup of naturally cloudy apple juice (in the microwave or in a pot). This releases effective essential oils. This tip even tastes excellent for once.
dental rinse
In the early stages can also have a dental rinse against sore throat. By gurgling with a dental rinse, the neck is disinfected. Big advantage: Contrary to most of the tips mentioned here, you do not have any bad breath.
