Question: What are some home remedies that can cure a sore throat in a day.?
Answers:
Gargle with salt water every couple of hours ....... celtic sea salt that is, not the regular table salt ........ 1 tablespoon of salt per glassfull of warm water and gargle each 2 hours or so ...... salt has natural antibacterial properties and will help to eliminate bacteria.

also brilliant is Vitamin C mate .... take a Vitamin C supplement in a powdered form containing bioflavonoids (enhances the power of vitamin C 10 fold) 1,000 mg (1 teaspoon) dissolved in water or juice 3 - 4 times daily............ this will effectively kinghit any cold and drastically reduce your symptoms ........ try it mate, it works ..... vitamin C has been shown to reduce inflammation and speed healing ..... it also has effective antihistamine properties.......... if you're taking lots of aspirin you're losing vitamin C........ cut right back on caffeine containing drinks such as coffee and tea and eliminate sodas and soft drinks and pop as they will all dehydrate you terribly and rob you of your precious water soluble supplies of vitamin C........... drink 8 glasses of water daily and hydrate yourself properly to help your body function at peak levels and eliminate the germs.

Ditch processed sugar as bacteria will literally feed and multiply on it.

Other things that will rob you of your precious supplies of vitamin C are stress, alcohol, aspirin and otc counter cold and flu meds, painkillers, antiobiotics, sleeping tablets, laxatives and diuretics, the oral contraceptive and eostrogen supplementation (if you are female) and smoking.... Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin and as such our bodies can neither store or produce it and we need to ingest it on a daily basis.

eat more foods and their juices rich in vitamin C ie ~leafy and green vegies, citrus fruits such as lemons, limes and oranges, strawberries, blackberries and red and green peppers etc...

Vitamin C reduces inflammation, stimulates the immune system and restores the mucous lining of the gastrointestinal tract.......... In addition, vitamin C creates an environment in the digestive tract that helps control the overgrowth of yeast, bacteria and parasites.

Vitamin C deficiency can contribut to digestive problems, as well as bleeding gums, bloodshot eyes, increased susceptibility to infection, joint pain, unexplained bruising and lack of energy..... hmm, vitamin C the magical potion i reckon...........;0)


peace baby

Health Question & Answer

That is a bit of a difficult challenge. Not everyone will respond the same to every remedy or condition.

My personal experience is that honey and lemon are good remedies for colds and sore throats. Perhaps my best response by experience is to take a cup of hot water, add a few lemon wedges (~1/8 of a lemon), and add some honey to your taste.

The rest of my remedy to to get a great night's sleep and take it easy for a day. also clean all the cups and mugs or water bottles that you drink from. Finally, drink loads of water.

If you do any Reiki or energy work, it also helps immensely.Health Question & Answer
