She didn’t really instruct me to do anything other than what I was doing. So since I had no official prescription I did what I was doing — homeopathic remedies.
I’ve talked about this before and I’ll say it again. If I can find a natural remedy for an illness or health issue rather than resort to medication then I’ll try it. I admit on my first few days of sickness I tried the store bought lozenges and expectorants. They worked temporarily and so I hit the Internet first and my pantry second.
Google sore throat remedies and you come up with lots of pantry items that have been shown to help cure a sore throat — honey is at the top of the list. No matter what sore throat remedy I try I always include honey even if it’s a honey cough drop.
My quick go-to remedy is simply any hot tea and a honey lemon cough drop. I suck on the cough drop a bit and then drop it in to melt. I breathe in the menthol from the cough drop and drink in the tea.
I wanted to try something different because I was sick the other day with a sore throat and I was nauseated. My mom said drink some warm milk and then she quickly followed that up with eat a spoonful of honey. She always suggests a spoonful of honey. I think she saw that on Dr. Oz.
It takes me back to when we were kids and she would suggest we use Vaseline — on everything. We would get a burn. Vaseline. We would get a paper cut. Vaseline. We would get a scratch. Vaseline. You get it.
So I’d like to say I created the following remedy, but it was a Pinterest find. Surprise!
The ingredients are simple: milk, ginger, honey and cinnamon.
Milk
Ginger
Honey
Cinnamon

A few ingredients that I had in my pantry and fridge created this warming, soothing cinnamon & milk sore throat tea. https://thehousethatwalkerbuilt.wordpress.com/
So if you have a sore throat and try this cinnamon & milk sore throat tea please let me know how it turns out because it did wonders for me. Or if you have your own sore throat remedy leave me a comment below, post to facebook or tell me via twitter or snap a pic via instagram.
