Autumn is a season also known as the season of sickness. It is in this season that the first colds, sore throats, flus arrive. Usually, this happens during the first colds. In fact, after our body gets used to summer temperatures, the return to cold autumn temperatures could cause minor ailments.
This type of disorder usually lasts a short time, a few days at most, but if they last longer it would be good to visit a doctor to agree on an appropriate therapy. If, on the other hand, at the same time we want to help our body heal faster, there are always natural remedies. So, here are 3 effective grandma’s remedies for colds and sore throats.
These remedies do not absolutely replace the doctor’s opinion, to whom it is always necessary to turn to for any clarification or doubt.
Very often for minor ailments such as colds or sore throats, people tend not to take medicines. Rather, in these cases, natural remedies are preferred, used by our grandmothers for generations and handed down to us. They will certainly not completely solve the problem, but they are able to alleviate the symptoms and make the course of the disease less troublesome.
Here are 3 effective grandmother’s remedies for colds and sore throats
One of the best known and appreciated remedies by all is warm milk with honey. In general, any hot drink (but not too hot) is a cure-all for relieving cold and sore throat symptoms. If more honey is added in abundance, the drink would become even more emollient and comforting.
You can drink it in the morning when you wake up and in the evening before going to sleep but you can also drink it during the day, whenever you want. Those who are lactose intolerant can replace milk with any other hot drink of their own taste.
Ginger is also said to be a very valuable ally against sore throats and colds. Our grandmothers consumed it as an herbal tea, boiling the pieces of fresh ginger in water for about 10 minutes. The result is a slightly spicy drink that would give immediate relief to the sore throat. Honey can also be added to this herbal tea, to make everything sweeter.
Fresh licorice
Not many people know that fresh licorice can also be used to soothe the burning pain of sore throats and colds. Fresh licorice root can give us a feeling of immediate relief that makes us experience the moments of colds and sore throats much better.
