Is Ghee Good for Throat Infections? - #11129
Throat infections can cause discomfort, pain, and irritation, especially during seasonal changes. While antibiotics are often prescribed, I’ve read that natural remedies can also be helpful. Is ghee good for throat infections, and how effective is it as a natural remedy for soothing the throat and reducing inflammation? From what I’ve learned, ghee is considered a powerhouse in Ayurveda due to its anti-inflammatory and lubricating properties. Does consuming a teaspoon of warm ghee directly help coat the throat and reduce irritation? Is it more effective when mixed with other ingredients like turmeric or honey? Some people recommend gargling with ghee to soothe a sore throat and combat bacterial infections. How often should this be done, and is it more effective than other gargling remedies like saltwater or herbal decoctions? For those dealing with persistent throat infections, ghee combined with spices like black pepper or ginger is often mentioned as a remedy. Does this combination work by reducing mucus and improving immunity, and how quickly does it provide relief? If anyone has used ghee for throat infections, I’d love to hear about your experience. Did it provide immediate relief, and are there any specific preparations or combinations you’d recommend?
