How to get rid of my sore throat fast?

There is nothing more agonizing than suffering from a sore throat. Every time you swallow, you experience the pain that seems to radiate through your whole body; every word spoken feels like Celine Dion crooning right in your ear. You can always try traditional remedies like gargling saltwater or drinking warm tea with honey, but why settle for basic when there are several other ways to cure this agonizing condition!

Trust in Those Magic Leaves

You may have heard of steaming as one of the best treatments for a common cold and sinus congestion. However, did you know that it also possesses healing properties for relieving sore throats? Assemble some batches (I repeat – BATCHES) of eucalyptus leaves and mint sprigs and boil them together until their fragrance fills up the room. Inhale the steam coming out by leaning over it while still maintaining an acceptable distance between yourself and the hot pot.

Chili Powders Are Your Best Friend!

Many might not realize this, but chili powder has potent analgesic effects thanks to capsaicin compounds found inside those little red devils (chilis). Try mixing 1/4 teaspoon chili powder in some lukewarm water along with one tablespoon apple cider vinegar (ACV) rather than reaching for cough syrup. No matter how much it stings initially, trust me; the relief will come within minutes! But make sure not to add extra water because then we won’t be able to tell anyone whether it worked or not (wink wink).

Slurrrrp D-Destroyers

Ice cream is typically thought of as an evening treat before bed or entertaining guests at parties- never was it considered medicinal…until now! Did you know that ice cream helps significantly reduce inflammation caused by pharyngitis and tonsillitis? Try eating ice cream often to get considerable relief. Just remember that you’re consuming it for medicinal purposes, so forget about your waistline and indulge in it with the consciousness of an elephant.

The Miracle Beverage

Tulsi tea is a coveted drink on most café menus for its sweet aroma and peaceful demeanor, but did you ever wonder why? Tulsi leaves have potent antioxidant properties which help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals – can we even stress this enough ((insert eye roll here))? Brew one (or two) cups of strong tulsi tea every day to get quick relief from sore throat pain.

Combine That Ginger & Honey!

Ginger has always been touted for its health benefits since ancient times due to its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Honey enhances the effects of ginger by dilating blood vessels, helping open sinuses more quickly- what could be better than power couple honey-ginger during cold season?! Crush 1-inch ginger into small pieces then place it inside some warm water (adding lemon juice here would not hurt either). After steeping for around three minutes or until comfortable drinking temperature, add in one tablespoon honey. Drink up every time you feel like throat inflammation is creeping back up!

Steam It Out with VapoRub

Finally! Something that none of us knew before: using Vicks Vapor Rub when congested also helps relieve coughs and nerve pain/soreness throughout the body..just don’t use too much though because “once upon a time” someone “thought” they were dying due to lack of oxygen…the struggle wasn’t worth it… anyways- grab your tub/jar/whatever container you’ve got size matters (LOL JUST KIDDING SOMETIMES IT DOESN’T) Apply mildly on chest area while layering a scarf over neck area as well after applying menthol ointment. Steaming will soon commence and magically, within minutes congestion will clear up with the help of a aroma therapy!!

Steam It Out…Again!

If vapor rubs aren’t your preference, you can always opt for humidity by using steam from boiling water! Boil some water in a pot and allow it to sit idle afterward so that the heat starts producing steam. Next step- Bring along towel/blanket/beach chair (totally optional) and form tent-like enclosure over your head only while breathing in exclusively through nose vigorously until relief is all that’s left standing!!

Essential Oils: Aromatherapy’s new New

Essential oils are natural remedies made from aromatic plants’ “essence”. For instance, lavender oil helps soothe anxiety/stress levels while others such as peppermint & eucalyptus may aid breathing/respiratory issues. Combine 5 drops marjoram or frankincense essential oil/(s), two drops lemon juice along with coconut/almond carrier oil finishing off this mixture message throat area first before sipping on warm honey-licious bubble-spiced cloves blend p.s don’t forget about consistency similar to pancake batter equals best results (I’m not joking!)

Power Of Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is an age-old home remedy due to its natural antibacterial qualities,. Mix one tablespoon apple cider vinegar (ACV) into half cup warm/water). Drink twice daily till symptoms subside completely.

Salt Water Gargles: The OG Remedy…

There goes salt again – useful every time despite societal advancements because gargling heated salinated-water perfectly complements medicinal properties able to kick infected areas right where it counts – Take half teaspoon Himalayan pink salt pour into hot water followed by perpetual guzzling satisfaction.

Tickeling …Err I mean Tackling The Symptoms

Sore throats leave us exhausted from constant coughing; the practices mentioned above are just a few home remedies that will aid sore throats’ relief. Here you can find more:

Nose Irritation Causing Soreness

Sometimes cold & flu infections result in nasal congestion, swelling the area near the eyes and nose= known as sinusitis. In which case cleaning nostrils daily is recommended (Yes, snot rockets at their finest).
