Some alternative herbal healthcare for sore throat includes the bark of the slippery elm, which contains a gelatinous substance containing protein and polysaccharides that has a demulcent effect or it coats tissue to reduce pain and inflammation. This is best taken as lozenges.

A major component of cold medicine, the African geranium species of pelargonium sidoides is an anti-bacterial that can reduce cold symptoms such as nasal congestion, sore throats and fever. You can also use garlic for its antimicrobial properties, which can be useful in treating early-stage sore throat. You can also try mixing honey and lemon juice in warm water and drink this twice a day to reduce your cold or fever symptoms.
