Maplewood, NJ -- (SBWire) -- 09/17/2014 --A sore throat is a common condition mostly caused by a flu virus or a cold. Bacteria like streptococcus may cause serious sore throat more common in young children than in adults. On a positive note, though, the symptoms of a mild sore throat can be treated using natural and conventional remedies. These remedies reduce the severity of the symptoms and may help speed up recovery. Some ways to get rid of a sore throat naturally include the following:
1. Steam Therapy
Steam therapy is a good remedy that helps with decongestion. This is because a sore throat is always as a result of some kind of infection. And any infection may affect sinuses leaving one with a blocked nose. The infection affects one’s breath leading to a sore throat.
Moisture from steam is what helps reduce any inflammation around the Larynx thereby helping in soothing a sore throat. This natural remedy is however not recommended to people suffering from conditions that affect the breathing pattern like asthma.
2. Salt Water Gargle
Gargling with a warm solution of saltwater is an easy but effective method of moisturizing your sore throat to get rid of it. It soothes the throat irritation and pain as well.
3. Green Tea
Green tea is a natural drink and when taken warm it soothes the throat. It is recommended to take a cup of green tea before or take with the dinner to relieve the pain while swallowing foods. Warm green tea with natural anti-bacterial properties helps get rid of a disturbing sore throat.
4. Lemon Or lime
This remedy might not be a popular choice among people who hate the sour taste of lime or lemons – but overall it seems to help. Lemons have citrus acid which helps in soothing the sore throat. Citrus may feel like it hurts at first but that feeling is usually a sign that it is working. This remedy should not just be used once but for as long as one can so as to get rid of the sore throat quickly.
5. Anti-inflammation
According to research done by an expert on nutrition and Chinese medicine, Mao Shing Ni of Santa Monica, California (http://www.taoofwellness.com/PDF/Spr2012_v5_i1.pdf), turmeric and ginger are one of the herbs that can be used to get rid of sore throat because of their anti-inflammation properties. One has to sprinkle some turmeric onto the food and incorporate ginger in the meals too so that the remedies work effectively.
