Sore throats, often caused by viral infections, can be alleviated with natural health remedies that soothe pain and boost immunity. Honey’s antimicrobial properties coat the throat, reducing irritation and fighting infection. Warm salt water gargles decrease swelling and clear mucus, offering quick comfort. Herbal teas like chamomile or licorice root hydrate and calm inflamed tissues. Rest supports the immune system in resolving the underlying cause.
