A sore throat - natural remedies

A sore throat - natural remedies

Małgorzata Kruk (MPharm)

 A sore throat is one of the first symptoms of an infection of the upper respiratory tract. If it is not very severe and additional symptoms are not very strong (enlarged tonsils, enlarged lymph nodes, a cough, common cold, high temperature) – it is probably a viral throat infection that requires the treatment of the symptoms.
When your throat hurts, try natural remedies which in the initial stages of the infection can prove to be really effective.
Use medications which consist of natural ingredients such as:
Eastern purple coneflower – has anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties. The Eastern purple coneflower fights the viruses which are the most frequent cause of infections of the upper respiratory tract, cures the common cold while at the same time boosting the immune system.

Licorice – alleviates inflammatory conditions and soothes an irritated throat while boosting the function of the immune system.

Common marshmallow – protects and soothes the irritated mucous membrane of a sore throat.

Common mullein – alleviates throat pain and has an anti-inflammatory effect.

Ribwort plantain – soothes the throat and has an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effect.

Tasmanian blue gum – part of the essential oils used for inhalations in diseases of the upper respiratory tract. The essential oils found in the Tasmanian blue gum have an antibacterial and cooling effect, bringing relief to a sore throat.

Garlic, onion and lemon balm – fights both bacteria and viruses.

Honey – soothes and protects the throat. Honey also has strong antibacterial and antiviral properties and it strengthens immunity. Consequently it is easier to fight throat infections.

Natural remedies for a sore throat sometimes require that you prepare a herbal brew or syrup on your own (e.g. an onion syrup). The effort is worth it though as it is effective and does not cause side effects.
