Interesting Home Remedies For A Sore Throat

Use A Humidifier

Sore throats are often caused when the sensitive mucous membranes at the back of the throat get dried out due to snoring, coughing, or simply not enough moisture in the air. Using a home humidifier or vaporizer can return the air inside one’s home to a proper humidity level which can relieve and prevent sore throats. If an electric dehumidifier is not available, a pot of water left to boil on a stove can have the same effect - just don’t let it dry out and burn overnight.

Stop Smoking

Smoking is one of the leading causes of sore throats. Cigarette smoke is still hot when it enters the throat, which can burn the sensitive tissues of the mouth and throat. On top of that, cigarette smoke contains dozens of chemical particulates that can irritate mucous membranes in the nose, soft palate, and throat. Stopping smoking at the first sign of a sore throat will ensure that the possible cause of a sore throat is eliminated, as well as ensuring that one’s body can heal itself as quickly as possible.
