Sea Salt

I wanted to share with you a remedy for sore throats that worked on my son this morning.

~Mix 1t of non-iodized sea salt w/ 1 cup of warm water
~Stir until dissolved
~ Gargle for 1 minute or as long as you can up to 1 minute

My ds was suffering from a sore throat last night & this morning. He tried this gargle and now has no throat discomfort! I'm amazed that something so simple would work so well ~

My mother showed me how to do this when I was a child, it was an old remedy she learned from her Ukrainian mother. I passed it on to my children and now my grandson has heard about the wonders of salt on a sore throat. Isn't it amazing how modern science is just now catching up to old tried-and-true methods?
