Treating throat irritation naturally focuses on reducing inflammation and soothing discomfort. Salt water gargles draw out fluids, easing swelling, while honey’s antibacterial properties calm and protect. Licorice root tea coats the throat, relieving irritation. Hydration maintains mucosal health, and steam inhalation reduces mucus buildup. These evidence-based remedies, used for centuries, provide relief by supporting the body’s natural healing processes without synthetic drugs.
