Description
The pain, itchiness, or irritation of the throat is referred to as a sore throat. The most common symptom of a sore throat is a pain in the throat. When you try to swallow, it may get worse, and you may have trouble swallowing food and liquids.
Even if your sore throat isn't severe enough to warrant a trip to the
doctor, it's still uncomfortable and can keep you from sleeping well.
Fortunately, you can relieve the pain and irritation with at-home remedies.
1. Chamomile tea herbal
Chamomile
tea has a calming effect. It's been used for medicinal purposes for a long
time, such as soothing a sore throat. Its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and
astringent properties make it popular.
Review of a few studies
According to
Trusted Source, inhaling chamomile steam can help relieve cold symptoms, including
a sore throat. The same effect can be obtained by drinking chamomile tea. It
can also help your body fight off the infection that caused your sore throat in
the first place by stimulating your immune system.
2. Gargle with baking soda
While
gargling with salt water is more common, gargling with baking soda mixed with
salt water can also help relieve a sore throat. Gargling this solution kills
bacteria and stops yeast and fungi from growing.
3. Honey
Honey is a
common household remedy for a sore throat, whether it's mixed in tea or taken
on its own. Honey was found to be even more effective than cough suppressants
in one study. Honey is an effective wound healer, according to other research,
so it could help speed up the healing of sore throats.
4. Mint
Peppermint
is famous for its breath-freshening properties. Sore throats can also be
relieved by using diluted peppermint oil spray. Menthol, which is found in
peppermint, thins mucus and soothes sore throats and coughs. Peppermint also
has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antiviral properties, all of which may
aid in the healing process.
Always mix
essential oils with a carrier oil like olive oil, sweet almond oil, or softened
coconut oil. Mix five drops of peppermint essential oil with one ounce of your
preferred carrier oil to make peppermint oil. Essential oils should never be
ingested.
1 cup warm
water, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/8 teaspoon salt, according to the
National Cancer Institute, should be gargled and gently swished. The rinse
should be used every three hours as needed, according to the instructions.
5. Use salted water
Gargling
with warm salt water can help break down secretions and soothe a sore throat.
It's also thought to aid in the killing of bacteria in the throat. Using a
half-teaspoon of salt in a full glass of warm water, make a saltwater solution.
It's best to gargle it to reduce swelling and keep your throat clean. This
should be done approximately every three hours.
6. Fenugreek
Fenugreek
has a wide range of health benefits. It also comes in a variety of forms.
Fenugreek seeds, topical oil, and fenugreek tea are all options for consuming
fenugreek. Fenugreek tea is a natural sore throat treatment.
Fenugreek's
healing properties have been proven in studies. It has the ability to relieve
pain while also killing bacteria that cause irritation or inflammation. Fenugreek
is also an antifungal agent.
Fenugreek
should be avoided by pregnant women, according to the National Center for
Complementary and Integrative Health.
7. Root of the marshmallow
A mucous-like substance in marshmallow root coats and soothes a sore throat. To make tea, simply combine some of the dried roots with a cup of boiling water. Two to three times a day, drink the tea to relieve throat pain.
Before
taking marshmallow root, diabetics should consult a physician. It has been
shown in animal studies to cause a drop in blood sugar levels.
8. Root of licorice
Licorice root has been used to treat sore throats for a long
time. It's effective when mixed with water to make a gargling solution,
according to new research. According to the National Center for Complementary
and Integrative Health, pregnant and breastfeeding women should avoid using
this remedy.
9. Elm slippery
Slick elm, like marshmallow root, contains a mucus-like
substance. It forms a slick gel that coats and soothes the throat when mixed
with water. Pour boiling water over powdered bark, mix well, and drink. You
might also benefit from taking slippery elm lozenges.
The traditional remedy for a sore throat is slippery elm, but
more research is needed. It may reduce the absorption of other medications
you're taking, according to the US National Library of Medicine.
10. Vinegar made from
apple cider
Apple cider vinegar (ACV) has a wide range of antibacterial properties. Numerous studies have demonstrated its antimicrobial properties in the fight against infections. It can be used to help break down mucus in the throat and prevent bacteria from spreading due to its acidic nature.
If you have a sore throat, dilute 1 to 2 tablespoons of apple
cider vinegar in one cup of water and gargle with it. Then, one to two times
per hour, take a small sip of the mixture and repeat the process. Between
gargling sessions, make sure to drink plenty of water.
Depending on the severity of the illness as well as your
body's sensitivity to vinegar, there are a variety of ways to use ACV to treat
sore throats. It is best to seek medical advice from a doctor or other
healthcare provider first.
11. Garlic
Garlic has antibacterial properties that are natural. It
contains allicin, an organosulfur compound with anti-infective properties.
Garlic supplementation on a regular basis can help prevent
the common cold virus, according to studies. Fresh garlic can also be consumed
to obtain antimicrobial properties. If you have a sore throat, your grandmother
may have recommended sucking on a garlic clove. You might want to try this
because garlic has many healing properties, but you should brush your teeth
afterward to protect your teeth from enzymes and improve your breath.
12. Hot sauce or
cayenne pepper
Cayenne pepper contains capsaicin, a natural compound that
blocks pain receptors and is commonly used as a pain reliever.
Ingesting cayenne pepper mixed with warm water and honey can
help relieve sore throat pain, though this has not been scientifically proven.
It's important to remember that a burning sensation is common at first. If you
have open sores in your mouth, avoid taking cayenne. Start with a few drops of
hot sauce or a light dusting of cayenne, as both can be quite spicy.
Complete recovery
Only a small percentage of sore throats are caused by
bacterial infections like strep throat, whooping cough, and diphtheria. Most
doctors advise calling a doctor only if you have a severe sore throat, such as
one that is accompanied by a fever or when your tonsils are swollen and
blocking your throat.
Trying some of these natural remedies could help you feel
better faster and save you a trip to the doctor. Make sure you drink plenty of
water and get plenty of rest to feel your best.
