Get Rid Of Sore Throats Naturally

Learn the natural remedies for sore throats. Check out the article we found over at Natural Medicine Mom.

I’ve had lots of people ask me about resolving soreness in the throat and supporting the immune system, so I thought I’d share my recommendations.

My throat is my barometer for the well-being of my body. When my throat starts to hurt, I know I need to cut back on heavy foods (especially after the holidays) and give my body a break.

Here are a few things I do to help my body get balanced again and support my immune system in case I have sick bugs multiplying.

1. Stop eating meat, dairy, sugar and flour products.
2. Drink lots of filtered water.
3. Get enough sleep.
4. Drink raw fruit or vegetable juice for breakfast and/or lunch.
5. Eat a light soup or salad for dinner.

Here are my favorite sore throat remedies. Generally, the more your throat hurts, the greater chance it is growing infection. And the longer you have this condition, the more aggressive you have to be to resolve it.

1. Garlic: 3 cloves are equivalent to an adult dose of penicillin. Capsules can help systemically, but garlic going down the throat will kill infection by contact. These are the easiest ways to take it:

• Mixed with butter on toast. Press 1 garlic clove into a dish and mix well with 1 TB of butter (or olive oil).  Spread on bread and eat or toast and then eat (less potent if toasted). I love eating this even when I’m not sick.
• Mix with honey. Press 1 clove and mix with 1 tsp to 1 TB of raw honey. Eat straight or on bread or toast.
• Press a clove into a bowl or hot or warm soup or broth.
• Blend up 1 or 2 cloves in raw, fresh carrot juice.
• Choose any of the above and repeat every 2-3 hours.

2. Essential oil respiratory or immune blend rubbed on throat externally or a few drops taken internally. I use essential oil blends on my neck. They are powerful and must be diluted with a few drops of carrier oil (coconut or olive oil).
