Alleviating a sore throat naturally involves soothing inflammation and promoting comfort. Gargling with salt water draws out fluids, reducing swelling, while honey’s antibacterial properties calm irritation. Chamomile tea, with anti-inflammatory effects, eases throat pain. Hydration supports mucosal health, and steam inhalation loosens mucus. These remedies, supported by scientific and traditional evidence, provide effective relief by leveraging the body’s natural healing mechanisms without pharmaceuticals.
