Sore throat medicine from a natural health perspective emphasizes remedies that reduce pain and inflammation while supporting recovery. Honey, a natural antibacterial, soothes irritation when mixed with warm water or tea. Gargling with salt water decreases swelling and clears pathogens. Herbal teas, such as those with ginger, reduce inflammation and improve circulation. Steam inhalation with essential oils like peppermint eases congestion. Adequate hydration maintains throat moisture, aiding healing. These approaches, backed by centuries of use, provide relief without synthetic drugs, promoting the body’s ability to fight infection and recover quickly with minimal side effects.
