Following on from my last post overviewing natural health supplements in Supplemental,I’m going to get back to the alternative cures and alternative health topics that this site is all about and give you a really nice one!

Well, after all, most people consider alternative cures to be nothing more than a load of hocus pocus, but here is a real alternative cure that you can pick up and hold, touch, feel and experience that is for real. And the best part is that the medical profession endorses it!

So what is this ground breaking alternative cure for a sore throat?

Well throw away those disgusting tasting lozenges, quit gargling with equally disgusting mixtures and grab yourself a bottle of Chardonet!

Many people are already aware of some of the natural cancer busting compounds found in red wine, namely resveratrol which is a powerful antioxidant that rids the body of dangerous free radicals and helps reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease. Well now there is evidence that some of these alternative health compounds found in wine can help to act as an alternative cure for a sore throat.

Its true and to back it up a report in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry claims that drinking a regular glass of red or white wine can act as a natural remedy and help to fight off a sore throat as well as warding off gum diseases and tooth decay!

Italian scientists have recently found that certain wine acids are found to be effective at fighting the streptococci bacteria that are responsible for causing gum disease as well as infections such as tonsillitis, laryngitis and even bronchitis.

This is exceedingly good news for all followers of a healthy natural lifestyle that also like the odd tipple of vino from time to time. Alternative health remedies and cures abound but not many of them are as welcome or enjoyable as this particular natural health cure in the form of a good red wine!

So raise your glass to your very good natural health!

    Dear Terry, do you know something efficient in alternative medicine for mucus in the stomach ecc? It disturbs me very much. I tryed with mudras that normally help, feel some better, do not choke with it, but I have it stil… But the worse is that I practically “fall asleep” after every meal. Terrible. I understood that the root is this mucus, but am not able to resolve the problem.

    Liudmila, I have heard that camomile is a good stomach calmer and helps with a swollen mucus lining of the stomach. It is very safe to take as a tea after each meal.

    Other herbal remedies include marshmallow and slippery elm, although I would try these in very small amounts first.

    Also raw garlic helps to fight off any bacterial infection, as does aloe vera and these are both safe to take as long as you don’t overdo it! Aloe vera is also a good probiotic, which helps the gut stay healthy. I take it neat, slicing a leaf open and removing about 3cm of the gel and just swallowing it!

    Thank you very much, Terry. I’ll begin with it just this evening.

    Of course Reflexology can also help reducing sore throat but won’t cure it.
