So yesterday out of the blue my throat started hurting-way bad! It kept me from sleeping a lot of the night and then I had a massive headache when I woke up this morning. My mother in law has introduced me to a great home remedy for sore throats so I thought I would share since sore throat season is rapidly approaching.
Simply mix this with warm water, and gargle it. I swallow a few sips before I gargle and find almost instant relief from a scratchy throat. Plus this concoction also helps kill the bacteria in your throat. So what is it that is the answer to all your sore throat problems????
HONEY!!!
I don't really like how honey tastes, but it is a ton better than nasty medicine that serves the same purpose, or gargling salt water. When it's diluted with hot water it's not so bad and totally worth it. I think you can also swallow a spoon full of it plain-but that kinda grosses me out. Anywho, if you choose to gargle or drink it I would recommend doing it a couple times a day until the soreness goes away. Hopefully this helps some of you guys out this fall/winter!
