Everyone has experienced a sore throat. You may already know how to get rid of it, but there are people whom a sore throat can trouble for several days. Lozenges or syrups bought at the pharmacy do not always work well, so it is good to focus on home methods, which are often better and, above all, cheaper. You won’t have to step out of the house and you’ll be fit in a few days.
Try using beetroot
As one of the main products against a sore throat, use beetroot. It helps reduce pain, swelling and also eases inflammation. In addition, it helps the immune system and improves the circulatory system. Try making juice from beetroot. If you have a grater, blender or juicer, your work will be a little easier.
Just take the juice from the beetroot and mix it with apple cider vinegar. Heat the mixture to 35 degrees and gargle up to 6 times a day, as needed. You can also mix 75 ml of beetroot juice with the same amount of water. Also add onion juice and rinse your throat every three hours. If you are bothered by a runny nose, beetroot will help here too. In this case mix only 10 ml of beetroot juice with water. Add a drop of honey and put 4 drops into each nostril. Continue for seven days and apply drops 4 times a day.
For chronic sore throat you will need more beetroot
If you want to cure viral tonsillitis before taking antibiotics, you can try beetroot juice together with water. Add a teaspoon of lemon juice to the mixture and gargle 6 times a day. If your sore throat troubles you for a long time, you need to use a larger amount of beetroot. Wash one kilogram, put it into two liters of water and cook until it softens.
Strain the broth, take about 50 ml three times a day. You can also gargle the broth; store it in the refrigerator, but heat it before each use. Before you decide on home remedies for treatment, consult your doctor, who will advise whether home treatment is appropriate.
