Question

Any success treating strep throat naturally? cider vinegar, c. silver, etc.?

Answer 1

You could try a steam inhalation with a mixture or any of these essential oils, Lavender, Tea Tree, Cajeput or Ravensara. Up to 6 drops at a time (this will be very strong) its best to start with just 2 drops and add more if needed but no more then 6.

Also you can gently massage the throat and chest with a massage oil containing Frankincense, Lavender and Sandalwood.

You can try a gargle with Tea Tree, add 3 drops to a glass of warm water, mix well and gargle.

Just remember that essential oils are very strong do not use more than the amounts I have said because you could end up irritating your mucous membranes in your throat and nose. You are better off using weaker dilutions more regularly then stronger dilutions in one hit.

Good luck, I hope your throat feels better soon!!

unless you have a surefire way, i would just go to the doctor. thats something that could get a little out of control if you don't catch it, ya know? its not like a cold...

i wonder if maybe you should look into tea tree oil? just a thought...

Answer 4

Yes and no. Yes, you can treat strep throat naturally and it will go away. However, if you have been to a doctor and your throat culture has come back positive for strep and you don't take antibiotics you are running the risk of either kidney failure or Rheumatic Heart Disease.

Kidney failure and rheumatic heart disease are not caused by the strep bacteria but by the body's immune response to the bacteria.

If you have actual strep, you must take an antibiotic and also take probiotics to replace "good bacteria" in your digestive system. You can also do warm salt water gargles, take echinacea and zinc and rest.

Hope you feel better soon
