How to Prepare a Home Remedy for a Sore Throat



There are many home remedies for a sore throat depending on what part of the world you come from. While some people may not believe that home remedies work, there are many others who swear by these symptom-relieving techniques. Here are three home remedies for soothing a sore throat.









1


Mix a teaspoon of cayenne or African bird pepper with a few ounces of warm water. Gargle with the mixture for a few minutes before bed and at the first sign of pain. The pepper will be hot to the taste buds but is antimicrobial. With the last few amounts that you gargle with, swallow the mixture. Cayenne and African bird pepper is a great cough remedy as well. To remove the burning sensation on the tongue, eat a spoonful of yogurt or peanut butter to remove the hotness of the pepper.





2


Prepare an herbal tea from licorice root, fenugreek and horehound. Bring water to a full boil and then pour it into a cup. Place the herbs into a steeping ball and cover. Allow the tea to steep for 15 to 20 minutes. Add a teaspoon of honey and drink it while it is still warm. Take this tea as often as needed to relieve throat soreness and pain.





3


Add a pinch of cayenne pepper and a teaspoon of ground cinnamon to a tablespoon of pure raw honey. Mix well and then eat it. You may spread it on a piece of soft bread if you like. The cinnamon is a natural antibiotic and the honey will sooth the throat and serves to coat it. Take every few hours as needed.
