Cure for Sore Throats and Colds
There is nothing I despise like having a sore throat, I would rather have a runny nose then a burning throat. Nevertheless, both are equally uncomfortable and usually last for about a week or so.
I am not a big fan of over the counter medication such as asprin etc especially now that I am pregnant with our second child I don’t like the idea of taking anything that could harm the baby. Although it is a well known fact that asprin is safe to take after the first trimester but I guess I am who I am
To make a long story short whenever I feel my throat start to itch or getting a runny nose I immediately prepare the following:
Ginger and Honey Mix
What you will need
Boiling Water
Honey
Slices of ginger (without skin) about 7 or 8 slices (the stronger the better)
Lemon (optional)
In a mug add the ginger slices, then boiling water and add honey (according to taste) I like it really sweet. Stir well andadd a squeeze of lemon if you wish!
I drink this at least 3 times a day and I always feel better and it does make a difference, try it and let me know what you think.
For a bad throat l use is a Mouth Gargle one I really like is Betadine
Wishing you all good health...
