Itchy Sore Throat?
69Natural remedies for itchy sore throat...
Eating and Drinking
A sore throat makes water feel like a handful of tacks.
It makes Jell-O feel like sandpaper...
A sore throat is nature's way of reminding you to get back on track...in other words, listen to your body and do what it is saying.
As for going out to dinner, forget about it!
Natural fast action tips and results from personal experiences:
Keep your throat moist... you need lots of lubrication.
Slippery elm lozenges coat your throat and reduce painful friction.
Gargle every few hours for relief... with a warm saltwater solution to reduce painful swelling.
Salt is good for killing germs, just add half a teaspoon of salt to a warm cup of water, tip your head back and gargle.
Take zinc every 2 to 3 hours for soothing effects within a day...because the trace mineral zinc heads straight to the sore spot in your throat!
Take asprin to fight imflammation fast...
Or if you've a sensative stomach, use ibuprofen - a nonprescription drug that's effective as a pain reliever and inflammation fighter.
Follow the directions...

Hi Gayle, how are you doing, thanks for your valued feedback, I appreciate you.
Tip: You can add 1tsp of salt to hot water, cover towel over your head and inhale steam...helps breathing by cleaning and draining sinus, plus get's rid of bugs, etc!
Personally I wouldn't gargle toothpaste because of the fluoride and many other harsh chemicals.
There's nothing I loathe more than a sore throat.
Never heard of a sore throat being the bodies way of communicating to get back on track? I find that even more interesting!!!
All of our aches, pains, excessive emotions and illnesses are communication from our body that somthing isnt right. I would like to suggest a book called "Soul Mind Body Medicine" by Dr Zhi Gang Sha.
I wish you health and happiness always!
how is aspririn natural?
you guys are funny...and i agree with the sore throat telling you to get back on track-not..how eird is that
aspirin itself isn't natural, but the main ingredient, salicylic acid, that used to create aspirin is natural. I believe that it can be found in willow bark.
yes, thanks, I get your point...asprin may not be "natural" substance in it's pill form, but it is safe enough to use in small doses, plus you can use willow bark if it it easier to find and if you prefer, cheers!
My question is based on soar throat, But my main problem is I love to sing but when i sing, i following day my voice goes away and sometimes it becomes husky. And sometimes when i sing some little high note i sound very husky and i really want to sing for a long time before i get choked. Please offer any help you can because i know am a good singer but my voice sometimes dissapoint me.
here is a way to help... package of hot tea (any flavor) then put honey in honey helps your throat i dont why... let it brew with some sugar... then drink its a good treat and helps your throat! :)
I don't understand "get back on track"?
Healthnut, "get back on track" means staying on the right track for being healthy. A sore throat is like an early sign or your body's way of saying stop doing whatever you're doing and correct the balance, make sense?

I have heard gargling with salt water (or tooth paste) is good for a sore throat, eating garlic and horseradish, and taking zinc suppliments.
I have never heard about a sore throat reminding me to get back on track. That was interesting.
