What Is the Best Sore Throat Ayurvedic Treatment for Fast and Natural Relief? - #11514
I have been suffering from a sore throat for the past few days, and it is making it difficult for me to speak and swallow. I want to avoid antibiotics and look for an Ayurvedic treatment for sore throat that provides fast and natural relief. From what I understand, a sore throat is often caused by an imbalance in Kapha and Pitta doshas, leading to throat irritation and inflammation. What are the best Ayurvedic remedies to soothe a sore throat naturally? I have read that Mulethi (Licorice), Tulsi (Holy Basil), and Turmeric are excellent for throat infections. Should they be taken as tea, chewed, or mixed with honey for the best effect? Some people suggest Triphala gargling as a way to reduce throat pain and inflammation. Does this work better than salt water gargling? How many times a day should it be done? I also want to know whether steam inhalation with essential oils like eucalyptus or ajwain helps clear throat congestion. How frequently should this be done? Additionally, does diet play a role in healing a sore throat? Should I avoid cold drinks and spicy foods? Some say warm soups and herbal teas help—what does Ayurveda recommend? One concern I have is whether there are any external applications like herbal chest rubs or oils that help with sore throat relief. Does applying mustard oil with garlic provide any benefits? If anyone has successfully treated a sore throat with Ayurveda, please share your experience. What remedies worked best for you? How long did it take for the pain to go away? I am looking for effective and natural Ayurvedic treatments for sore throat that provide quick relief. Please share any tried-and-tested methods!
