Simple Homemade Sore Throat Remedy

How often have you found out that "simple is best"? Well, here's another great example . . .

As cold, sinusitis & flu season descends upon us, I have found a truly amazing, blessedly simple sore throat remedy with ingredients that are probably already in your cupboard. Only 2 items: honey & tumeric.

Always buy local honey whenever possible. Honey is not only the preferred sweetener of many, but it is antiseptic, anti-inflammatory & anti-bacterial. (**Got a terrible cystic blemish? Before you go to bed put a drop of honey on it, cover with a band-aid & wake up in the morning with NO pimple!!!)

Tumeric is also antisecptic, anti-inflammatory & anti-bacterial. Many take it for their liver, arthritis, as a paste or in a salve for healing wounds & even for up-set stomachs.

But for a sore throat there are 2 ways you can take it:
1) 1 ts honey completely covered with a thick dusting of tumeric. Swallow all at once.
2) 1 ts honey & 1/4 ts tumeric mixed into a sort of paste. Lick the spoon slowly so that it can coat the throat.
~Repeat as often as you need, day or night.

Which ever way you use this, it is a wonderfully powerful throat soother, healer & actually heals & builds immunities.

  1. Wow, thanks for sharing!! I am going to tell Kayleigh about the honey on a pimple, that's just too cool! We've been trying to find good all natural stuff for her teen face, that actually works.

  5. Great advice. Local honey is supposed to help with allergies as well. You'd think I would have purchased some by now for mine :) Also, honey is an excellent cough suppressant. I will have to try the tumeric, I'm not sure I have that in the pantry.

    Blessings,
