How To Make Sage Tea For A Sore Throat
Unless we act quickly to cure a sore throat our tonsils can swell up making them much bigger, along with all the bother this will cause us they may even, occasionally, become infected. In this case, you will notice spots of pus on them and this stage is what we call tonsillitis. A sore throat is when our tonsils, found at the back of our throat, and the end of our tongue become inflamed. This inflammation may have been caused by a virus or bacteria. The tonsils are a part of our body that works as a defense mechanism against germs that enter our mouths with the air we breathe, liquids we drink, the food we eat, etc.
Steps to follow:
To start to relieve a sore throat with sage, you should get a pint of water and pour it in a saucepan.
Next, boil the water in a saucepan or boiler.
Once the water is boiling, add 30g of sage and mix it for 30 seconds to make your sage tea.
Then add 25g of Cayenne pepper and mix together for 30 seconds. This spice is good for a sore throat, as it is a powerful anti-irritant that works well with coughs and stomach aches too.
After this time, you need to remove the saucepan from heat and let stand for 1 minute.
Once the sage tea is done, you should gargle this sage twa. Remember that the infusion will be warm and can burn. Make sure you wait until it is cool enough as it can scald your throat and make your condition even worse.
