How to soothe a very sore throat using natural remedies for a quick

A sore throat can be the first sign of a cold, so to try and prevent getting a full-blown cold I try a quick remedy for a sore throat.

Whenever I get the start of a sore throat, I swear by this simple, cheap and effective tip. My natural home remedy to soothe a sore throat is to gargle with a few drops of tea tree oil in water which gives me instant relief, making my throat less painful and also has an anti-bacterial action.  I repeat as and when needed and it seems to cure it.
