Remedy for a burning sore throat

[tandrsc]

I'm sure we all know that burning sore throat thing when we've done a bit too much, well this remedy works for me so I thought I'd pass it on.

Gargling with sage tea

I make a strong sage tea - 2 teaspoons (dried) to a mug of boiling water, I let it cool and then strain. I then gargle with it once an hour or whenever my throat is really bothering me. The worst of the burning is usually gone after a day.

Thanks for this, my throat has been a huge issue for me the past week, its stopping me from sleeping (Ive been up since 1am this morning as my throat woke me back up).

Also there is this stuff you can get at the pharmacy to spray your throat and it numbs the pain. That and salt water is the only thing thats helped me.
