This might not be the most common herb in your spice rack, but horehound has been used to soothe sore throats for generation. The anti-inflammatory action of this herb can help reduce swelling in the throat tissues, and also relieve the scratching or itching, which can lead to coughing and other respiratory issues. Horehound also possesses certain antioxidant properties that can help boost the immune system and eliminate the illness causing the sore throat. Boil horehound in water, strain the resultant mixture and drink 1-2 glasses of the mixture each day until you’ve recovered.
