It got me! Somebody gave me a common cold with a sore throat.
But what now?
My mother’s advice is always the best! No need to take these harsh medicines (like Chlorhexamed), which has always made my sore throat worse instead of better!
These two natural medicines both work like a miracle and we all have the ingredients at home. Your sore throat will feel better after the first usage.
HELP FOR A SORE THROAT
#1 GARGLE WITH SALT WATER
1 cup water, body temperature
1 Tsp salt
Dissolve salt in water and gargle as long and as often as possible. This solution is due to its high salt concentration antibacterial basically because of the osmotic effect. Don’t swallow!
#2 GARGLE WITH SAGE TEA
1 cup water, boiling
1 heaped teaspoon dried sage
Make a tea of the sage and water and let stand covered until cooled to body temperature. Gargle as long and as often as possible. Sage has an antibacterial function. This really works very well!

FENNEL-HONEY COUGH SYRUP
10 g bitter fennel seeds (crushed in a mortar), best from the pharmacy
500 g honey (from flowers)
