Food Remedies
Main remedy
Turmeric milk with honey and black pepper — mix 1/4 tsp turmeric in warm milk with a spoon of honey and a pinch of black pepper; drink morning and evening. Licorice powder (athimathuram) mixed with honey also relieves sore throat.
½ tsp haldi in a cup of warm milk or warm water, once or twice a day. A pinch of black pepper with it helps the body absorb it.
Traditional
CautionThe amount used in cooking is safe. In tablet or extract form it does not go with blood-thinning medicines. Avoid larger amounts if you have gallstones. Stop before surgery.
शहद · Honey
A teaspoon of raw honey, taken as is or in water that is warm but never hot — heat destroys its value.
Traditional
CautionNever give honey to a baby under one year — the risk is infant botulism. This rule has no exceptions.
मिर्च/काली मिर्च · Pepper
Two or three crushed peppercorns with honey, or a pinch of powder added to whatever else you are taking.
Traditional
दूध · Milk
A cup of warm cow milk at bedtime, boiled and taken slowly — never with salt or sour food in the same hour.

तुलसी · Tulsi
5–7 fresh tulsi leaves chewed each morning, or boiled into a cup of water and sipped warm.

शहतूत · Mulberry
Mulberry juice or sherbet sipped slowly — cooling for a sore throat.
Traditional
लौंग काढ़ा · Clove kadha
2 cloves boiled in a cup of water, gargled warm and then swallowed — eugenol numbs the throat. White patches with fever are not a sore throat to treat at home.
Traditional
मुलेठी चाय · Licorice (mulethi) tea
Mulethi tea, held in the mouth a moment before swallowing — the oldest throat demulcent there is. Avoid in high blood pressure and in pregnancy.
