Natural Treatment for Strep Throat?

[Guest guest]

Gargling with diluted solution of hydrogen peroxide (see bottle instructions) or

sea salt. Chewing citric fruit peels will add soothing, coating oils to the

throat. (Or boiling skins in water for tea to release the oils & then drinking

will also do the same.)

I gargle with vinager. It changes the ph of the throat temporarily and helps

create an uninhabitable situation for the stuff creating the problem.

I use a throat spray called T- spray- it is fabulous at killing germs and

relieving the pain. Echinacea every 2 hrs (in a tincture) is usually called for

viral infections- sometimes you can get one with goldenseal which is probably

even better. plus lots of vit c

Neem leaf extract may be worth considering.

- Antibacterial Compounds in

Neem<http://www.researchneem.com/research/ANTIBACTERIAL.pdf>- Ongoing

research over the past 45 years recognizes these traditional uses

of neem, but researchers typically list them as " known to be " rather than

reporting on their action. More recent reports focus on antibacterial

activities in the mouth, specifically gum disease and cavities, as well as

preventing sexually transmitted diseases as a vaginal contraceptive.

- Antifungal Properties of

Neem<http://www.researchneem.com/research/ANTIFUNGAL.pdf>- Like neem's

antibacterial and antiviral properties, its antifungal

properties are often a given among scientists in India and other Asian

nations where most of the current research is being conducted. Reports

completed before 1992 are not available online but do indicate that

compounds in neem help control fungi that can cause athlete's foot, ringworm

and candida, the organism that causes yeast infections and thrush, as well

as fungus that may affect plants. *

- Anti-Inflammatory &

Neem<http://www.researchneem.com/research/ANTIINFLAM.pdf>- Nimbidin, a

component of neem, has been show to posses potent

anti-inflammatory and antiarthritis activity in both in vivo and in vitro

settings. Researchers suggest that nimbiden suppresses the functions of

macrophages and neutrophils involved in inflammation. Earlier research not

available online also documented neem's anti-inflammatory properties.
