A more potent formula is cayenne pepper mixed with salt and lemon (image). It helps cure sore throat as well as colds and other flu-like symptoms. The same goas for eucalyptus oil. You can fill a basin with boiling or hot water, put a few drops of eucalyptus oil, and then position your head over the basin so you can inhale the eucalyptus vapor. Put a towel over your head, like a tent, so all the vapor rising gets directly to you. This will not only help relieve your colds but your sore throat too.
Drinking tea is also one of the most effective sore throat remedies. It can soothe and calm you respiratory system, especially if you’ve been coughing all day.
