Curing a sore throat effectively relies on natural methods that reduce inflammation and promote healing, with salt water gargling, validated by studies, rapidly decreasing swelling and bacterial load. Honey, with proven antibacterial properties, coats and repairs throat tissues, while warm fluids like broth hydrate and soothe. Steam inhalation clears mucus, reducing irritation, and vocal rest prevents further strain. These evidence-based remedies, applied consistently, accelerate recovery by leveraging the body’s defenses, often providing faster and safer results than over-the-counter medications.
