Natural Remedy for Sore Throat

How to get rid of Sore Throat

If the rain has given you a touch of the sore throat or sniffles, do not rush to the pharmacy.
Try this home-made brew that takes about five minutes to make. This South Indian concoction calls for a handful of cumin seeds (above), some crushed peppercorns and a tomato.
Drown the three ingredients in a glass or two of water and bring to boil. When the tomato looks soft and cooked, turn off the heat.
Strain liquid into a big mug, add a pinch of salt and a generous squeeze of lemon. Sip while hot.
Research has shown that cumin may stimulate the secretion of pancreatic enzymes, compounds necessary for proper digestion and absorption of nutrients. Black pepper is known for its antioxidant and anti-bacterial properties. Tomatoes are rich in lycopene - an antioxidant and also rich in vitamin C.
In combination, these ingredients make for a tangy and tasty hot drink. It may make you sweat but it will definitely soothe and sometimes actually chase away the sniffles.
