Turmeric is a natural antiseptic and antibacterial agent. It is also a natural liver detoxifier. It is a natural painkiller and COX-2 inhibitor. May prevent melanoma and cause existing melanoma cells to die. I remember my aunt giving turmeric with warm water to her children when they travel. I believe turmeric helps preventing sore throats to some extent.
Ginger has anti-inflammatory properties and is a powerful natural painkiller. Ginger tea has long been used as a natural heartburn remedy. Helps fight cold, cough and flu naturally.
Raw honey is known to cure sore throats including laryngitis and pharyngitis. Honey and cinnamon can help in giving some relief from bladder infections, arthritis and upset stomach.
