Common causes of sore throats include bacterial and viral infections, allergies, dry air, and even talking loudly or shouting for hours. Of these, sore throats caused by the flu are the most common cause of sore throats, according to the health website Healthline (USA).
Some nutrients in ginger tea help relieve pain when having a sore throat.
To relieve sore throat, people can drink the following teas:
Ginger tea
Ginger has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, making it an effective remedy for sore throats. A study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology found that ginger's anti-inflammatory properties are particularly useful in treating sore throats caused by infections.
In addition, the nutrients in ginger also help strengthen the immune system, shortening the recovery time. To make ginger tea, the ginger root needs to be peeled and cut into small slices. Then, put the ginger in boiling water and leave for about 10 minutes. The ginger tea should be cooled, add a little honey, lemon and drink while still warm.
Chamomile tea
Chamomile is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Drinking chamomile tea or inhaling its scent may help soothe a sore throat. A study published in the journal Molecular Medicine Reports found that chamomile tea can help relieve sore throat pain, reduce inflammation, and relax muscles, making people with sore throats feel more comfortable.
Experts recommend adding a little honey to chamomile tea to enhance its anti-inflammatory properties. While holding a cup of hot chamomile tea in your hand, inhale the steam from the tea, then drink it.
Peppermint tea
Peppermint contains menthol, which has a cooling effect and can help relieve a sore throat. Menthol also has antibacterial and antiviral properties. Research published in the International Journal of Clinical Practice found that products containing the menthol in peppermint were effective in relieving sore throats and other symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections.
Patients can drink peppermint tea or drop a few drops of peppermint essential oil into hot water and inhale. In addition, people should avoid drinking peppermint essential oil directly because it can be too strong and cause irritation, according to Healthline .
