What are some home remedies for treating a sore throat?

My niece went out with some friends this morning and returned home with an itchy throat. She said that at the party, she sat very close to some smokers and developed a dried throat. Now it is itchy and sore. Do you know of any natural remedies to relieve a sore throat?

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

The worst thing for a sore throat is any type of the sugar remedies that are in most home remedies. Heat water as hot as you can to drink it. Add salt to the water and gargle with it and then spit it out. It will not feed any type of infection like the sugar will.

This is a great suggestion. When my mom worked for the Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) doctors this is exactly what they recommended.

For sore throats we have depended on compounding specifics first. But then we found the following:
Raspberry tea, extra thick with honey
Honey alone, but it has to be Appalachian sourwood honey for the best effect
Honey and a drop of lemon
Coffee with real cream
Yukon jack with honey (akin to turpinhydrate)
source(s):
materia medica 1899
organic pharm chemistry 1954
merck manual edition 1931

Drink slowly a mix of equal parts of honey and lemon juice!
