Honey and Warm Water
for Sore Throat
A tablespoon of honey dissolved in warm (not hot) water or herbal tea, sipped slowly to coat and soothe the throat.
How it works
Honey forms a physical protective coating over irritated throat tissue, has demonstrated antimicrobial properties and may suppress the cough reflex through effects on sensory nerves.
What to watch for
Never give to children under 12 months. Use warm not hot liquid to avoid destroying honey's beneficial properties.
