Salt Water Gargle
Woke up with a bit of a sore throat in the morning and one of the easiest home remedies is the salt water gargle. It is said to work because the salt flushes the throat drawing out moisture thereby relieving inflammation and making the environment inhospitable to bacteria.
A tsp of rock salt added to a glass of warm water and gargled 3-4 times a day provides relief. This works for a toothache too. If we had a cough, mum would boil water with tulasi (holy basil) leaves, strain m, add salt and make us gargle.
Simple, safe, effective.
