The spray with natural ingredients works against sore throat
Sore throat can be quite painful. If swallowing is difficult, your throat is scratching and hurting, you just hope it's over soon. We'll tell you how to easily create a healing throat spray.
Spray for sore throat
Pastilles, gargles, sweets, teas or similar products only have a limited effect where they should work. Because they only get to where the saliva flows when swallowing, so rather in the throat. At the almonds or the higher and lateral areas, the products can not work. These are the areas that hurt the most. But there is a solution to the problem - a spray. It works exactly where it is applied - in concentrated form.
This is how you make the spray
The spray for the neck is made of natural ingredients. You need:
- 100 ml of water
- 50 drops of propolis
- 10 g of ginger
- 10 g of cinnamon
- Abrasion of half an organic lemon
- 25 g of honey
How to prepare it:
Boil the water in a saucepan. Add ginger, cinnamon and lemon peel to the boiling water. Take the pot off the stove and let it simmer for 10 minutes or more. Then add the honey and propolis. Take a sieve or a coffee filter and pour the liquid through. Place the spray in the refrigerator after filtering. The cold not only ensures better durability, but also relieves your pain.
You should discard the remainder of the spray after your symptoms have resolved, because it does not last long.
Where is the spray bottle?
In order to reach all areas of your throat and throat, a spray bottle is important. You can either take empty bottles of used medical devices, or you can ask for a bottle in the pharmacy. In drugstores, there are sometimes also travel perfume bottles to buy.
This is how the ingredients work
The throat spray works best when you inhale through the mouth while spraying. So it gets to the deep areas of the neck.
The ingredients have the following beneficial effects:
cinnamon
Cinnamon has an antimicrobial effect. Make sure you use Ceylon cinnamon. He is a bit milder than the likewise commercially available Cassia cinnamon.
propolis
Propolis is made by bees and is available from beekeepers and many health food stores. It is antibiotic, antiviral and antifungal (antifungal).
honey
Honey is ideal for use in painful and inflamed neck and throat, as it has anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties and promotes healing.
ginger
Ginger contains gingerol, which acts naturally to relieve pain and heal your inflamed neck.
Lemon peel
The essential oils in the lemon peel have an antibacterial effect and help to drive the unwanted bacteria out of your throat.
