Ginger cinnamon and honey for Sore Throat Relief

Submitted by Regina

I got this from my high school advisor, or all people. It works like a charm and tastes great, too.

In one cup of hot water, mix about a quarter teaspoon of ginger, a pinch of cinnamon, a pinch of sugar and honey to taste. The ginger is healing and will stimulate the cells in your throat to heal; the honey is soothing; the cinnamon and sugar are just for a little extra kick. Enjoy.

Thanks for the tip Comments By: Andrew I haven't tried this remedy yet, since I'm at school, but I will try it. Thanks, Regina. You may be the person with the tip I need.   so so Comments By: Anon it works pretty well, just dont put too much of anything in or else it makes the ginger burn a bit and hurts. i would recommend warm water not hot.   V. good Comments By: Emily Worked well thanks, much appreciated. x.   Always does the trick Comments By: Adam This is the kind of thing I usually make for a sore throat (though the ginger and cinnamon are new to me- good suggestions though). It's worth noting that honey actually has some antiseptic properties, which helps this concoction to work :)   Actually worked! Comments By: Lauren I had a sore throat for two days and I was desperate to get rid of it. This recipe worked pretty well and the taste wasn't horrible. It did not cure the soreness but reduced it well enough so I could get through the day. Thank you!   hannah Comments By: hannah this thing works wonders! before i could not use my throat at all and now i feel sooooooooooooo much better. the only thingh i did differently was that used warm water, and forgot to use sugar :( but it worked realy good   urrrrrrgggh Comments By: anon this didn't wrk! plus it tastd narsty!   :D nice!
