Sore Throat

Scratchy or painful throat, mild swallowing discomfort. This page gathers gentle, traditional perspectives on what your body may be signaling and how everyday rhythms can support balance — not a diagnosis or replacement for professional care.

Gargle 3–4 times a day with warm water, a pinch of turmeric and rock salt — the classic Ayurvedic throat reset. Sip mulethi (licorice) tea with a touch of honey to coat the throat. A paste of turmeric + honey, taken half a teaspoon slowly, eases swelling. Avoid cold water, ice cream, fried and sour foods until clear. High fever, white patches with pus, or difficulty swallowing — see a doctor; bacterial tonsillitis needs antibiotics.
