Treatment of Colds Accompanied by Sore Throat

Picture
TREATMENT

• Sip liquid vitamin C. Let it drip down the throat slowly (all the while trying to keep the acid C off the teeth, so it will not melt them). Coat the throat with raw honey mixed with lemon juice. Gargle with salty water (½ tsp. sea salt in a cup of water).

• Drink plenty of fluids—fruit and vegetable juices and lots of water. Go to bed, rest, trust in God, and get well.

• Use a mixture of raw honey and lemon juice, to coat and soothe the throat.

• Gargle alternately with chlorophyll liquid and sea salt (one half tsp. in a glass of warm water) every few hours.

• Enemas are very helpful.

• Herbs include eucalyptus, flaxseed, garden sage, German chamomile, and myrtle. Both goldenseal and echinacea fight bacterial and viral infection. (But do not take goldenseal over a week at a time, or during pregnancy.) Gargling with fenugreek tea will help relieve a sore throat. Marshmallow root tea soothes a scratchy, itchy throat. Hot mullein poultices soothe sore throats.

• An old herb doctor makes these suggestions: Gargle the throat with cayenne pepper tea, a half tsp. to a cup. Put an onion poultice on the neck over night, for 2-3 nights. Rub kerosene on the outside of the neck and cover it with warm flannel.

HYDROTHERAPY:

The Heating Throat Compress is an application of a cold cloth, covered with flannel, which then heats up and results in improved circulation and a better flow of healing blood into, and out of, the afflicted area. Wring the cotton cloth from cold water and place it around the neck. This should be about 2-3 thicknesses about the neck. Cover it well with flannel (singly or doubly, depending on the thickness). Fit the flannel snugly but not so tightly that it will be uncomfortable. Pin it securely. Remove it the next morning. It should be entirely dry.
