To me, there’s almost nothing worse than waking up with a sore throat. It hurts when you breath, when you swallow, when you talk, when you eat and when you drink. It sucks!! So, the second I feel even a slight tickle in my throat, I jump into action!

My main focus is reducing pain, inflammation and supporting my immune system so I can knock out my sore throat before it knocks me out. I do this by:

- Drinking plenty of water

- Talking as little as possible

- Drinking herbal tea, specify the Throat Coat Tea from Traditional Medicinals

- Gargling salt water

- Humidifying the air around me with a humidifier

I also have had a lot of luck with creating my own lemon water drink at home. It’s only three ingredients and really helps with reducing pain and inflammation.

Ingredients

Juice from 1 lemon

1tbs honey

1tsp turmeric

Combine ingredients into warm water and drink up! The honey and turmeric work to reduce inflammation and the lemon helps to boost your immunity and kill bacteria. Doing these things doesn’t always get rid of my sore throat overnight, but it definitely reduces the length of time I feel under the weather. If your sore throat hasn’t gone away within 48 hours or is severe, go see your doctor!
