home remedies for itchy throat

An itchy throat is a condition that is observed as a sense of irritation in the throat which may also be accompanied with a runny nose, pain, desire to cough and difficulty in talking and eating. Some of the causes of an itchy throat are bacterial, fungal or viral infections, a dry throat on account of a fever, continuous vomiting, acid reflux, allergies, speaking or singing too loudly continuously, diagnostic procedures, and even because of tumors in the wall of the throat or the vocal cords. Home remedies for an itchy throat include the use of a hot steam vaporizer. This can be followed by filling a hot steam vaporizer with some water and turning it on in the room before going to bed. The vaporizer would provide a steady supply of hot steam which will help in opening up the nasal passages and thereby keep the throat moist as well. One of the most popular and commonly followed home remedies for itchy throat is to drink some hot tea to keep the throat moist and warm. Some people may not want to have tea and instead prefer drinking some hot water with lemon. However, tea is strongly recommended as it tends to have certain soothing properties that are not present in hot water.

Home remedies for itchy throat also include drinking a spoonful of viscous, thick honey which will help in keeping the throat coated and will thus numb or effectively tackle the itchy feeling in the throat. The texture of honey will remain on the dry throat for approximately 15-20 minutes and hence one may have to repeat this remedy at least two to three times in a day. Another popular one of the home remedies for itchy throat is gargling with some lukewarm saline water two to three times during a day or even drinking ginger and honey tea. Home remedies for itchy throat also suggest drinking some warm milk with some turmeric powder added to it. Turmeric is known to have very good anti-bacterial properties that will help soothe the itchiness in the throat. Some people tend to suffer from an itchy throat mostly at night. An effective natural treatment for itchy throat is to add a teaspoon of honey to a teaspoon of freshly extracted ginger juice and heat this mixture till it is slightly warm. This mixture needs to be then consumed before going to bed on a regular basis for effective results.
