Looking to heal a sore throat? This easy and cost-effective recipe will be of great help, especially if you are prone to developing sore throats during cold months. Echinacea can prevent their onset and soothe their symptoms thanks to its powerful antibacterial and anti-fungal compounds. Peppermint also contains antibacterial compounds, such as menthols, which help fight infections and promote tissue healing.
Gargle your throat at least three times a day until symptoms persist.
Although it is commonly available in many local stores or online, making echinacea tincture from scratch is easy and money-saving.
