Throat Soreness

Throat Soreness • Apply liquorice (mulaithi) paste like a paint around the throat for relief. • Eat a plain betel leaf (pan) with liquorice (mulaithi) 2-3 times a day. • Drink tea boiled with ginger (adrak) and a few tulsi leaves 2-3 times a day. • Gargle with warm salt water at least twice a day. However do not make gargling sounds as this may aggravate the soreness. • Pound 2-3 cloves (laung), garlic (lahsun) and add to a cupful of honey. Keep for 1-2 days. Have one teaspoon thrice a day. • Drink lots of water (10-12 glasses) a day since most throat problems are intensified by dehydration. • Have the mixture of ½ teaspoon honey and ½ teaspoon lemon juice every 1-2 hours. • Add two tablespoon of fenugreek (methi) seeds to 6 cups of water. Heat on low flame and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Cool to bearable temperature. Strain and gargle 2-3 times a day with this. • Heat a cup of milk (warm).

Heat it slightly. Soak a piece of cotton and hold it on the affected area. • Heat 1 teaspoon coconut oil and fry 3 pieces of clove (laung).
