Sore Throat Cures the Wild Way and in Your Kitchen http://rgn.bz/BGbB

Very few of us can get through life without experiencing at least one sore throat every few years and when a sore throat takes hold it certainly can be more than just a simple “pain in the neck”. A growing number of people are realizing that although some over-the-counter products may help alleviate symptoms they do not get rid of the problem. Another concern people have are the questionable ingredients in over-the-counter medications.

Causes of Sore Throats

Most sore throats are caused by viral infections that stem from a cold or the flu because there are usually other symptoms such as a runny or stuffy nose, a cough, a mild fever, and fatigue. Taking antibiotics for these types of sore throats is futile. Gargling with warm water and good quality salt (such as ancient sea salt) is best as well as natural lozenges. Ricola is a trusted name for natural lozenges and the ingredients are impressive. (Although some varieties of Ricola have sugar there is a minute amount.)

Strep Throat

Strep throat is an infection caused by bacteria with symptoms including throat pain, white patches on the tonsils, swollen (neck) lymph nodes, and fever. Having a runny nose or cough generally does not accompany strep throat. Although anyone can get strep throat, children between the ages of 5 and 15 tend to get it most often.
