Answer 7

Have you tried taking some zinc and vitamin c? I was told to keep my immune system in good order by a herbalist years ago after having a bad case of glandular fever, and have been trying to take these two consistently, as well as garlic and astragalus sometimes as well. They tend to help a lot.

Answer 8

I suggest using organic ginger tea. Its anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and improves circulation and gives your immune system a nice boost. A sore throat is usually a sign that you have the beginings of a infection or some kind. So supporting your immune system to help your body take care of itself is a must. If you can handle it I recommend taking raw garlic, and boost your vitamin C. And as a general tonic when you are not feeling well, warm a cup of  water and add about 1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar, raw honey, and a squeeze of lemon. It really helps. and remember that if you are sick, stay away from all refined foods, dairy, and the majority of all meat prodcuts. Stick to whole grains, dairy alternatives, and lots of vegtables and soups.  

Answer 9
