I have one I use when I get a sore throat and a cough

In a cup or mug:

Juice of 1/2 lemon
2-3 spoons of sugar

fill up with boiling water.

Drink while hot. It should taste sour, but not so sour that you can not drink it. Add more sugar if needed. Apart from help your throat because it is a hot drink, the lemon sort of 'coat' your throat and it feels much better.

I do this too but add whisky to mine!!(also called a hot toddy) cetainly takes the edge off if I'm feeling a bit under the weather!!

I could have used this yesterday. I had the stomach flu and would have loved to try something that might have helped. I will have to remember this one for the next time.

These are great natural remedies and I would love to hear about any more that any of you have.

For natural remedies the kitchen is a good place to start. It has almost all the medicines you need at least possible to treat common diseases. All without cost or negligible, purity, without side effects and dollops of TLC . Too good to be true? Well, it just a little awareness and understanding you need to make the most of it. Read a little about the natural resources to equip yourself to face a strange infant with colic and diarrhea.

Strep throat: Sage and chamomile tea are best natural remedies for strep throat. While the analgesic properties of chamomile tea provide rapid relief to the throat pain and headaches as well as reduce fever and prevent dehydration, sage has the ability to reduce inflammation and protect soft tissues of the throat and the respiratory system. These are very strong and natural remedies.
