A sore throat is, no doubt, uncomfortable. But thankfully there are lots of at-home ingredients that can deliver quick relief.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why Do We Get Sore Throats?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may be curious: Why does your throat get sore and feel inflamed when you\u2019re sick in the first place? Well<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a sore throat can be an indicator that your body\u2019s working hard to fight off an illness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When someone experiences cold or flu symptoms of illness, the body will often produce excess mucus and drainage while trying to fight the infection, explains <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jillcarnahan.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Jill Carnahan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, M.D., with Flatiron Functional Medicine in Louisville, Colorado.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis constant barrage of mucus draining down the throat can irritate delicate mucosa [membranes] and cause inflammation called pharyngitis or sore throat,\u201d she says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given the ongoing pandemic, ruling out COVID-19 via testing is a top-line concern when throat discomfort strikes, especially if you were recently exposed to someone with the virus. Sore throats are among <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/symptoms-testing\/symptoms.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">COVID-19 symptoms<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Assuming you\u2019re all clear on the COVID front, sore throats can happen for a variety of reasons, including colds and flus, mono, allergies, dry indoor air, or pollutants, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">according to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/sore-throat\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20351635\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mayo Clinic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are six ways to bring some relief to a sore throat at home:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. Gargle with Saltwater<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simply gargling with saltwater is one of Carnahan\u2019s favorite at-home remedies for relieving sore throats.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To get this right, add one teaspoon of salt to 6 to 8 ounces of warm water and gargle for 1-2 minutes, recommends Carnahan. The trick here is to try and get the salt water as far back in your throat as you can safely hold it while you\u2019re gargling. \u201cThe salt in water is good for fighting bacteria and viruses, and it reduces inflammation and improves healing,\u201d Carnahan says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can repeat this gargling routine several times throughout the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Try A Thyme Essential Oil<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/quality-essential-oil\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Essential oils<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> come from the leaves, bark, stems, and flowers of plants, explains <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificcollege.edu\/about\/faculty\/san-diego\/guptha-leena-s-do-mba\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Leena Guptha<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, D.O., M.B.A., P.H.D., and academic dean of online education at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificcollege.edu\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pacific College of Health and Science<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. While more research is needed on their effects, they may help kill germs, reduce inflammation, and they can speed up healing, she says. For soothing sore throats, one of Guptha\u2019s favorite essential oils is thyme.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis powerful essential oil has therapeutic properties that make it great for a throat that needs some tender loving care,\u201d she says, pointing to a 2011 study published in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/22313307\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medicinal Chemistry<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that showed thyme protects your body against illnesses by boosting the immune system.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thyme also reduces muscle spasms. Thus, it may prevent coughing (which sometimes causes a sore throat) and ease breathing, she says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/zand-herbal-herbalmist-throat-spray-1-fl-oz\/mn-1118\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Herbalist Throat Spray<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> contains peppermint, thyme, and tea tree oils to help soothe your throat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Read More: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/prep-immune-system-for-colder-months\/\"><b>10 Ways to Prep Your Immune System For The Colder Months<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Inhale Peppermint Essential Oil<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peppermint is an all-around great essential oil to have in your first-aid kit, says Guptha.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOne of its primary constituents, menthol, is the main ingredient used in many throat lozenges and cough drops to relieve sore throats,\u201d Guptha says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inhaling <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/now-foods-peppermint-oil-1-fl-oz\/n8-1061\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">peppermint oil<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> could help reduce inflammation and relieve pain, she says. Or, the high menthol content gives the oil a cooling effect if applied to your skin. However, do not apply peppermint essential oil directly to your skin; dilute it first with a carrier oil at a 1:4 ratio, she says. Jojoba, grapeseed, and olive oils make for great carrier oils, though Guptha says almond oil is her favorite carrier oil for peppermint essential oils. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. Add Marshmallow Root to Your Tea or Water<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Store-bought marshmallows won\u2019t soothe a sore throat, quips Dr. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.providence.org\/doctors\/profile\/759045-omid-benjamin-mehdizadeh\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Omid Mehdizadeh<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, M.D., and an otolaryngologist and laryngologist at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.providence.org\/locations\/saint-johns-health-center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Providence Saint John\u2019s Health Center<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in Santa Monica, California. But marshmallow <em>root<\/em> could do the trick.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMarshmallow root soothes a sore throat by creating a protective coat on the surface of the mouth and throat,\u201d he says. You can add 1-2 ml of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/nature-answer-marshmallow-root-1-fl-oz\/bb-1287\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">marshmallow root<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to a glass of water or your hot tea.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Read More: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/dietitians-favorite-teas\/\"><b>The Best Teas for Every Health Goal<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>5. Drink Hot Water with Honey<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another home remedy that Carnahan recommends is brewing hot water as if you were going to make tea. Then, add 1\/2 teaspoon of freshly grated ginger and 1-2 teaspoons of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/plnt-manuka-honey\/vs-2216\">Manuka honey<\/a>. The honey contains MGO (methylglyoxal) and DHA (dihydroxyacetone) and leptosperin, all of which have a potent antimicrobial effect and speed wound healing, Carnahan says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just as marshmallow root helps relieve a scratchy sore throat, honey can provide a similar benefit by coating the surface of your throat, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.providence.org\/doctors\/profile\/759045-omid-benjamin-mehdizadeh\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mehdizadeh<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> says. As a bonus, honey may also carry some antibacterial benefits, he says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try stirring in some honey to this <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/yogi-tea-throat-comfort-16-bag\/yt-7010\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yogi Throat Comfort tea<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that\u2019s an herbal tea with licorice root and elm bark.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>6. Place a Humidifier in Your Bedroom<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A cool-air humidifier can eliminate dry air that may be irritating your sore throat, according to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/sore-throat\/diagnosis-treatment\/drc-20351640\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mayo Clinic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. But, be sure to clean the humidifier regularly so it doesn\u2019t grow mold or bacteria. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t have a humidifier at home and are looking for instant relief? You can also try sitting for several minutes in a steamy bathroom.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You know the dreadful feeling when a sore throat is coming on: a dry, scratchy sensation that eventually leads to swollenness and trouble swallowing.
