48 Sore Throat Juicing Solutions: Strengthen Your Immune System with These Life Changing Juice Recipes and Cure Your Sore Throat
By Joe Correa CSN
Each year about 13 million people in the USA alone suffer from a painful and dry feeling in the throat. This uncomfortable condition, sometimes followed by somewhat serious pain, is mostly caused by infections or some environmental factors like dry air or allergies. Luckily, the condition itself is not serious and will most likely go away on its own within a couple of days. If, however, you notice that the pain doesn't stop or is getting worse, visit your local doctor immediately.
There are several types of sore throat depending on the part of the throat that is affected.
- Pharyngitis is an infection of the oral cavity (the area behind the mouth)
- Tonsillitis affects the soft tissue in the back of the oral cavity known as tonsils
- Laryngitis is the redness and/or swelling of the larynx (or the voice box)
The causes for this unpleasant condition can be divided into several categories:
Viral infections cause about 90% of all sore throat conditions. These infections are related to common colds, flu, mononucleosis, and other virus-caused diseases
Bacterial Infections are not as common as the viral infections and are mostly related to strep throat - an infection caused by Streptococcus bacteria
Allergies and dry air are also a common cause of a sore throat condition. A body's reaction to some allergy triggers causes watery eyes, nasal congestion, sneezing, and sore throat. Dry air, on the other hand, soaks up the natural moisture from the mouth and throat causing the recognizable scratchy sensation.
Smoke and different chemicals are proven to irritate the throat and sometimes cause long-term infections and problems.
As someone who has been dealing with a sore throat for years, I have learned that the best way to prevent this irritating condition is to boost up the immune system and let the body defend itself.
This is why I wanted to share with you my favorite juice recipes that are proven to help fight off this condition and prevent it from happening in the future.
Make sure to try them all and see which ones suite you best.
