Throat gargling for sore throat leverages natural health to reduce pain and inflammation effectively. Salt water gargles decrease swelling by drawing out excess fluid from tissues and clear mucus, easing discomfort. Warm herbal teas with honey hydrate and coat the throat, reducing irritation. Avoiding irritants like smoke or dry air prevents further aggravation. A diet rich in vitamin C from citrus fruits supports tissue repair. Steam inhalation keeps airways moist, aiding recovery. These scientifically supported methods, used historically, offer a gentle yet powerful way to soothe sore throats without synthetic drugs, promoting faster healing naturally.
