Meds for cough and sore throat can be replaced with natural health remedies that soothe and heal effectively. Honey coats the throat and fights bacteria, reducing coughs. Licorice root tea reduces inflammation and eases pain. Saltwater gargles clear mucus and reduce swelling. Steam inhalation with eucalyptus loosens phlegm and hydrates tissues.
