Does your throat feel scratchy? Does it hurt to swallow food or even water? If you nodded and answered yes to the above questions, then you must read on. Sore throats are often caused by harmful viruses and bacteria. However, a number of other reasons can contribute to this problem. There are a plethora of over-the-counter pills that you can take to subside the symptoms and get a good relief from the discomfort. | |||

One such home remedy, which is often deemed as a powerful one for treating sore throat is peppermint. Peppermint possesses unique properties that enable it to treat infections and give relief from inflammation. It is antiseptic and antibacterial in nature. So, read on to know more about the ways in which you can use peppermint to get relief from sore throat. | |||

This is a traditional way of soothing sore throat. Just steep 2-3 peppermint tea bags in a cup of hot water. Keep it steeped for 5-10 minutes and then, let the mix cool off. Then, use the cooled peppermint tea to gargle. Do this at least 2-3 times and you'll be able to feel the difference. | |||
2. Take A Steam With It: | |||
