How can Ayurveda treat sore throat? - #11427
I’ve been struggling with a sore throat for a few days now, and the pain is especially worse when I swallow. I’ve tried over-the-counter remedies, but nothing seems to provide long-lasting relief. I’ve heard that Ayurveda for sore throat offers more natural remedies that might be gentler and more effective. I know that ginger, honey, and turmeric are often recommended in Ayurveda for throat health, but I’m unsure of the best way to use them. Should I make a ginger tea with turmeric and honey, or are there other herbs that work better for soothing a sore throat? Additionally, I’ve read that licorice and holy basil (Tulsi) are effective in treating sore throats. How should I incorporate these herbs into my treatment? Can I make a tea, or should they be used in another form like lozenges or a gargle? Lastly, does Ayurveda recommend any specific lifestyle changes to prevent sore throat, such as avoiding cold foods or staying away from certain environmental triggers like dry air?
