1 teaspoon (5ml) honey
2 teaspoons (10ml) lemon juice
Sore throats are often aggravated by a nasty buildup of phlegm, but a combination of lemon juice and honey is a great, natural way to gain some soothing relief. Place the honey in a small bowl and stir in the lemon juice. When completely combined, swallow the mixture slowly allowing ti to rest at the back of your throat as long as possible. The citric acid in the lemon juice will help to loose congestion and the honey will provide a gentle coating. Both ingredients are credited with having antibacterial properties, too.
