The Best Natural Remedy for Sore Throat
"The sitopaladi/pippali/honey mixture is a miracle. That is THE best natural remedy for sore throat that I have ever tried." -Hendrik H., San Jose, CA
When you can catch your sore throat right at the beginning . . .
then, the best natural remedy for sore throat is to gargle with turmeric and salt.
Take about:
½ cup of warm water
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp powdered turmeric
You have to play with these proportions as it's slightly different for each individual and also not every salt and turmeric are the same. You should taste both the saltiness of the salt, as well as the bitterness of the turmeric. Neither of them should be overwhelming.
After you gargle, don't drink or eat anything for at least ½ hr for the salt and turmeric to do their job of killing bacteria. You can repeat this as often as you need throughout the day.
When the sore throat is mostly in the morning and then it gets better throughout the day . . .
make sure that the air in your bedroom is not too dry. Putting a pot of water on your radiator or putting wet towels there, may fix the problem.
Maybe your throat gets dry at night because you breathe through your mouth. Then the best natural remedy for sore throat is to squish some water with sesame oil around your mouth.
Mix about:
2 TBS of warm water
2 TSP of sesame oil
Also oleating your nostrils might be helpful (put 2 drops of sesame oil on your pinkie finger and then insert in your nostril). One nostril at a time, please ;-)
This simple treatment will not only help with your sore throat due to dryness, but also increase Prana, the life force, in your body & mind.
Another great natural remedy for this kind of sore throat is to drink warm water with about ¼ tsp of licorice (assuming you don't have high blood pressure or swelling because licorice increases both).
When your sore throat is part of a cold/flu . . .
first of all make sure that you get enough rest, Vitamin C (best source is Amalaki) and Zinc.
Also take 1 tablet or ½ tsp of neem at least 3x day.
After neem, mix about:
1/2 tsp sitopaladi
1/8 tps pippali (or regular pepper if you don't have pippali)
1 tsp honey (local is the best)
Lick this mixture and don't eat or drink anything afterward for at least ½ hr. You should feel little bit of burning in your throat after you take this sitopaladi/pippali/honey mixture. If no burning is present, then add more pippali next time. Take several times a day as needed.
This combination is truly amazing.
I have had people report to me that they have had a bad sore throat for days and this mixture completely healed them within a couple of hours.
In any case of sore throat it's also useful to eat Kichari or other simple meal. Kichari is easily digestible and your body will have more energy for healing itself.
Sometimes, it's also a good idea to sweat it out. Sauna might be a great option. When toxins are too deep or you are too weak, sauna will further weaken your body and you will feel worse afterward. You have to follow your gut feeling if the sauna (or other form of sweating) will help you or not. If you energy is quite good and you only have a mild problem with the sore throat, sauna might help you to heal faster.
As with any recommendation, please follow your instinct on what is good for you. In the end you are the one who knows what is the best for you.
Keep Your Throats Happy!

100x washed ghee
"I only use top of the line products and I have never seen a product like this. The 100x washed ghee absorbs easily into the skin and allows me to touch the skin more closely than when I work with other products." -Shelly, Esthetician, New Mexico, United States
"After only two weeks of daily use, my skin is glowing again and my rosacea is 80% gone. Thank you, Barbora, for the wonderful 100x washed ghee!" -Rachel Humphrey, California, United States
"I got your 100x washed ghee from my son Patrick. I was really impressed with the results. I haven’t had anything this fantastic on my face before! I have a daughter who also suffers from eczema and I cannot wait for her to also try it. Really amazing product."- Regina Stajerova, Czech Republic
"I use the 100x washed ghee as a moisturizer and on tiny eczema patches I get once in a while. I also give it to my mother who uses it on her psoriasis. She calls it 'liquid gold.'" -Mary, Massachusetts, United States
"Barbora. I've received the second shipment of the 100x washed ghee. It's great, thank you. I am recommending it to several people with skin problems. I have an appointment with my dermatologist this week. I have waited for four months for the appointment. Same facial rash and itch for more that 5 years..many rx, costly meds that have not helped. With less than two weeks of twice a day of the 100x washed ghee, my skin is soft and the long suffering rash is gone!! Amazing!! I will be back and order more for sure. Thank you so much for sending the second container... I would not have realized just how great this stuff is. Thanks" -Lauren, Virginia, United States
"I bought a small jar of the 100x washed ghee at the workshop in Prague and I am completely crazy about it. I cannot imagine my evening (and sometimes even morning) without it. It's incredibly soothing. I have a beautiful skin now and I am not the only one who have noticed it:-). I had a friend visiting the other day and she wanted to take it away from me! So, now I need to buy one jar also for her."
-Katka Tizkova, Czech Republic
"I have ordered the larger jar, because I have already used up the small 100x washed ghee I purchased. It did wonders for my skin and my rosacea. You have a wonderful product, you can be very proud of. Thank you, Barbora!"
-Deborah Birnbaum, Texas
"I just started using your product and I love it! It's decreased my fine lines and lightened my dark spots from sun damage. I've tried many products for my sun damage and nothing works like your ghee. I could literally tell the difference the first week of using it."
-Susan, California, United States
"Just wanted to say that after four years of having severe painful rosacea your washed ghee has returned my fragile skin close to its previous state before the rosacea in only a few days. I am so grateful. Thank you."-Evangeline Feary, Australia
"Hi Barbora, let me start by telling you I truly appreciate you sharing this beautiful product 100x washed ghee. My dosha is vata and I have extremely sensitive and dry skin. 100x washed ghee is the best product I have ever used. I love the cool feeling I experience when applying it to my face and throat. It is so soothing, moisturizing, my skin is more even toned with a youthful appearance, even taking away the fine line and wrinkles from my 59 year old face. I hope to never be without this miracle product. I use it every night as nighttime treatment and wake up with younger looking soft baby skin. Again, thank-you! 100x washed ghee is a true blessing."-Diana Scott, Texas, United States
"Thank you for your product. I like using the 100x washed ghee, because my skin gets healed from within and it provides calmness to it. It has also put luster to my skin and has improved its evenness. I have been using it for almost 10 months now and will continue to do so." - Rahul, Texas, United States
"I was having a lot of issues with my skin over the past year with many dry patches no matter what product I tried. I came across your website and decided to try the 100x washed ghee since I have used ghee in food for years. I love it! It almost immediately cleared up my dry patches and is not greasy. Thank you for making this wonderful product."-Ashika, New Jersey, United States
"Dear Barbora, just wanted to let you know that my parcel arrived today morning. I was able to try my 100x washed ghee already. It is beautiful,just soaked into my thirsty dry skin. I'm so grateful. God bless you, Barbora" - Barbara Nowicka, Australia
