[mplpost] The sore throat blues (GIG off???)

[Adrian Jones]

My favorite remedies:
1. Inhale lots of hot steam from a running tap (with your head covered with
a towel)- don't add anything to the water such as menthol (it will dry out
your throat)
2. Slippery Elm Lozenges - you can get these from any health food store -
stay away from any lozenges that numb the pain (ie. fisherman's friend)
because they will just mask any damage that might be being done - zinc
lozenges are also great
3. Gargle warm water with a bit of golden seal tincture in it (also
available at heath stores)

Hope you are feeling better,
Adrian Jones
