Natural Cures
Some
of the recommended self-care techniques
for curing tonsillitis are obtaining
adequate rest, drinking warm, soothing
liquids such as soup, broth, and tea,
and gargling with warm salt water. Here
are a few natural cures that can be
used to alleviate the symptoms of tonsillitis.
Soothing beverages
Because
the tonsils are inflamed, swallowing
foods and even liquids is extremely
painful. However, consider drinking
the following concoctions to coat the
inflamed tonsils with healing components.
|
Mix
three parts of fresh carrot juice
with one part of beet juice and
one part of cucumber juice. This
blend is believed to be beneficial
for treating tonsillitis. |
|
Stir one teaspoon
of honey and one teaspoon of lemon
juice in a glass of hot water. Allow
this mixture to cool down slightly
and sip it while it is still warm.
The honey coats and soothes your
throat and the vitamin C in lemon
helps to reduce mucus production.
|
Mix
one half of a teaspoon of salt in eight
ounces of warm water, gargle, and spit
out the water. You can also mix in a
pinch of turmeric powder as turmeric
is renowned for its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory
properties.
Alternatively,
simmer two tablespoons of fenugreek
seeds in two pints or one liter of water
for approximately 30 minutes. Set the
mixture aside so that the seeds steep
and the mixture cools down. Strain and
gargle.
Herbal remedies
Several
herbal remedies and treatments can be
used to reduce inflammation as well
as boost and stimulate the immune system.
These may also reduce the length of
the recovery period and help you recover
from tonsillitis sooner.

Nasturtium
is an antibiotic, thyme boosts
the immunity, and sage has anti-inflammatory
action. Prepare an herbal tea
with two tablespoons of nasturtium,
one tablespoon of thyme, and one
tablespoon of sage. Drink this
healing tea three times each day
until the symptoms of tonsillitis
subside. |
|
Another suggestion
is to combine two teaspoons of
sage, one teaspoon of lavender,
and one teaspoon of peppermint.
Steep this mixture in one cup
of boiling water for 15 minutes.
Strain and drink this herbal tonic
a couple of times each day throughout
the duration of the infection. |
|
Prepare herbal
teas using chamomile or cleavers
herb to relieve the inflammation
in the tonsils. |
Garlic
Garlic
is often praised as the miracle herb
that possesses antimicrobial and antibacterial
properties. If the strong odor of
raw garlic is intolerable, consider
consuming garlic capsules three times
each day.
