How to soothe a sore throat

A sore throat and throat pain can be soothed naturally.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Lime and salt
• milk and tumeric
• salt and hot water

1. 

   At the first signs of sore throat put salt in hot water and gargle several times a day. This should cut down infection to a great extent

2. 

   In some hot water put a pinch of salt and squeeze half a lime and a spoon of honey and sip on it. This has often cleared the congested feeling in my throat

3. 

   If you can bear it add a spoon of tumeric to half a glass of warm milk and gulp it down. Tumeric is antiseptic in nature and helps fight infection

4. During winter or in very cold air conditioned rooms keep your throat warm with a muffler. While sleeping make sure you wear a muffler, this can greatly help the throat to heal quickly
