26 Jan 2014: Winter brings with it a series of ailments and sore throat is one of them.

Usually caused by infection, suffering from sore throat can get very irritating as it burns and you also face difficulty swallowing your food. However, you can cure this condition by trying one of these natural remedies.

Salt water gargle: Though old-fashioned, salt water gargle is quick and effective sore-throat relief. Besides being a mild antiseptic, salt helps to clear out the phlegm from your throat and reduce its swelling. Add half a teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water. Stir it thoroughly, so it dissolves and gargle. Repeat about three times a day.

Honey: Easily available on kitchen shelves, honey is a traditional sore-throat remedy. Due to its antibacterial properties, it can speed up the healing process. Add a teaspoon of honey to one cup of hot water or have it with herbal tea.

Ginger tea: Though it has a spicy flavour, ginger works brilliantly as a sore-throat remedy. It helps flush out toxins from your body and boosts your blood circulation. Its anti-inflammatory properties also help kill bad bacteria. So, grate some ginger root in in a warm, soothing cup of tea.
