Natural health remedies for sore throats focus on reducing inflammation and supporting the body’s healing process. Warm salt water gargles clear mucus and soothe swollen tissues, offering quick relief. Honey, with its antimicrobial properties, coats the throat to ease pain and fight infection. Herbal teas like chamomile or licorice root hydrate and reduce irritation. Rest strengthens the immune system, helping resolve viral or bacterial causes.
