Home remedy for sore throats

You can try the following remedy whenever you feel like you're about to get a cold.

1 clove of garlic, crushed
Equal amount of onion, crushed
1/8 - 1/4 tsp Cayenne powder
1/2 tsp Ginger powder
1 tsp Apple cider vinegar

To get the garlic and onion crushed you can use a garlic press or a microplane rasp to get them into a really fine juicy pulp.

Mix it all up and eat it.

Not fun, but better than a cold. Try not to eat on an empty stomach, cause it can cause stomach pains. Some say they usually try to do this once in the morning and once before they go to bed for a day or two.

Another thing that helps with a sore throat - resist ALL urges to "click" or rub the back of the roof of your mouth with your tongue, and spit out your saliva instead of swallowing it (as much as possible). The soreness goes away very quickly. Zinc lozenges can be your friend here too.
