It’s not that cold yet but some of us have already caught a cold. We’ve already shared some remedies to cure yourself from cold and today I’d like to specify some recipes for a sore throat. These are mostly teas and sprays that will bring relief fast and stop cough, and there’s also a syrup for cough but keep it away from kids.

The first up is cinnamon sore throat tea. Milk, cinnamon, powdered ginger and honey all together will calm down your throbbing throat. The recipe is easy, just warm up the milk but don’t make it too hot and add all the ingredients.

The second craft is another tea mix. It combines warming, soothing herbs to help ease sore throat pain. This blend is great for kids and adults, but leave out the sage and licorice root if you’re pregnant or nursing. This tea is best taken warm or as hot as one can stand, to really soothe the throat.

Ginger tea is the best one for a cold but it’s also useful for your throat. You need ginger, lemongrass and honey, and for an extra kick of endorphins, add a teaspoon of chili powder to the mix.

The recipe revolves around using tinctures (also called plant extracts), but if you prefer to avoid alcohol completely, you can substitute a strong herbal tea instead. Spray into your mouth, directed towards your throat, as needed. When made with tinctures, this throat spray will last for months, stored in your refrigerator.
