Sore Throat Remedy: The Best Natural Remedy
Blog by: Cheyenne W, vegan blog writer. Edited and “Sore Throat Remedy” Recipe by Kelly Gibson.
This time of year, there is an increase of sickness and sore throats. We all have lives that do not need to be interrupted by a cold and a sore throat. Colds and sore throats can also cause an interruption in one’s workout regime. Many medicines are filled with chemicals and can take days to take into effect. This remedy for a sore throat is not just fast acting and effective, it is also made at home and made with completely natural ingredients.
Apple cider vinegar is a vinegar that is made from apple cider and is well known for its many uses but especially for its anti-bacterial properties. It is effective in killing bacteria that cause sickness, making it effective as a remedy for a sore throat. ACV is very acidic so make sure it is always diluted properly.
Lemons are beneficial to health in much the same way that ACV. They are effective in flushing out unwanted toxins and are helpful against throat infections, making them an effective remedy for a sore throat. Cinnamon is a spice well know for its sweet flavor but it is also filled with antioxidants that fight disease. Combined together, this makes a very effective remedy for a sore throat! I have helped a dozen family & friends overcome a sore throat and even reduced phlegm by recommending this drink!
Sore Throat Remedy Recipe
Here are the ingredients you will need:
- 1 cup of hot water
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 pinch of cinnamon
- 1 tbsp of maple syrup for sweetening (apple cider vinegar and lemon can be very bitter)
Instructions: Combine all these ingredients in a cup of hot water and mix and then drink. It is possible to use lemon juice bought in a bottle but it is better to squeeze a lemon because bottled is often filled with other chemicals. Repeat if needed.
Note: The best time to drink this beverage is immediately after you start experiencing a sore throat. It might not work as quickly if you have been suffering for days, and has not been tried on viral throat infections. It works very quick for an oncoming sore throat!
