Question

What are some good home remedies to get rid of a sore throat?

Answer 1

Slippery elm bark is wonderful for curing sore throats.  My friend is an opera singer and she'll suck on a slippery elm lozenge when her throat is bothering her.  There are also a lot of teas with slippery elm in them.  Throat Coat is a popular one.  I've tried the lozenges and tea, you can get them at any health store and probably a regular supermarket as well.  It works, but it tastes lousy.

When I was younger my mom used to fill a mug, half with hot water the other half with hot milk and put a ton of honey in it.  It's delicious and very soothing
