How to to cure sore throat using fresh ginger root

I used ginger roots many times to cure sore throat. When I was teaching a large class, I often over used my voice and that I suffer sore throat or strained vocal chord. To relax my vocal muscles I used ginger tea using fresh ginger and it helped me a lot.
