Chamomile Tea
Chamomile is a type of flowering plant that has been traditionally used for natural and alternative medicines for different kinds of health issues. It contains a chemical called flavonoid, a form of nutrient that is significant in boosting the medicinal effect of chamomile.
Drinking chamomile as a tea can help in treating diabetes and lowering blood sugar, sleep and relaxation, reduce inflammation, and treat cold symptoms. Therefore, it is often used to help relieve the pain from sore throat together with other natural remedies.
Chamomile can be used as tea by steeping the dried flowers in a cup of hot water for a couple of minutes. Strain the flowers afterward before drinking the tea. Drinking one to two cups of chamomile tea a day is recommended. However, this should be avoided by those with a history of severe pollen allergies unless advised by their doctor.
Another way to maximize the potential benefits of chamomile to alleviate sore throat pain is by inhaling chamomile steam. This has been found to relieve sore throat, which is a symptom of common colds and the flu.
