Salt Water
Gargling with salt water may help to draw out the mucus and make it easier to swallow. You can use homemade or store-bought, but we recommend homemade for a purer solution. Add one tablespoon of sea salt (or Himalayan pink rock salt) into an eight-ounce glass of warm/hot water. Gargle the solution for a few minutes and spit it out, or swallow. If you have trouble with swallowing the homemade saltwater solution, try adding in some fresh lemon juice to help cut down on the salty flavor.
Chamomile Tea
In addition to being delicious, chamomile tea is often used as a natural remedy for a sore throat. If you don’t have any chamomile tea lying around, try making homemade herbal tea that contains the herb! You can also use store-bought if it’s available in your area or as a last resort. Many people recommend adding some fresh lemon juice to help cut down on the bitter flavor of this homemade remedy.
Honey
Honey is a popular homemade throat soother. It can be added to hot tea, homemade lozenges, and more! If you have trouble swallowing the homemade honey solution, try adding it into some homemade chamomile or ginger tea. You can also add in fresh lemon juice if necessary for flavor. And of course – homemade honey lozenges are a popular homemade throat soother as well.
Ginger
Another great homemade remedy for sore throats is ginger! You can make homemade tea with the herb or eat some fresh slices of it to help ease your symptoms. If you have trouble swallowing, try adding lemon juice and/or raw honey on top of the homemade slices. The homemade tea is also delicious and soothing, so try adding it into chamomile or other homemade teas for a double dose of relief!
