Rest And Hydration- Not Just For The Weak
Want your body fighting fit again in no time? It’s easy – just rest up and swarm yourself with fluids. Because chicken soup may be good for the soul but tossing back water is vital for those with severe pain.

Honey has antibacterial properties that can help fight against infections while also providing hydrated efficacy which helps soothe swollen larynxes from screaming at horrible musical performances during karaoke night out!
Try adding 2 teaspoons worth into warm tea along with lemon drizzled over it for an extra punchy effect.
Gargles Anyone?
Pass me my salt shaker|> Okay done. If gargling H20 doesn’t provide any relief try using saline solutions made up of heated water mixed together combined mixtures such as:
1/3 teaspoon table salt
1/3 teaspoon baking soda
8 ounces distilled/bottled water
Yum… Doesn’t this sound splendid already!
Rinse & repeat this process two or three more times per day for sore throat beating results.
Watch The Temperature
