I have come to believe that ginger can heal just about anything. It lifts my mood, calms my stomach and now it cures a sore throat.
I woke up yesterday with a sore throat but didn't do much about it. Today I woke up barely able to swallow, and certainly not without cringing. I've been drinking tea and honey all day which helped a little but out of curiosity I diced up some ginger and plopped it in some boiling water and sipped on that, it felt better. After the tea was finished, again just out of curiosity, I chewed on a couple of those bits of ginger and let the juice settle on the back of my throat where the pain is coming from. Wouldn't you know it in about 20 seconds my throat feels better than it has all day. Even better than the aspirin I had this morning. I am just floored and wanted to share.
Though I'll caution anyone who is also curious, I've been eating ginger for years and have a taste for it, it is way to spicy for some people so don't just go gnawing away on a ginger root.

Ginger and sesame oil (aka fragrance oil) the true secret of Chinese cooking. Don't believe that soy sauce myth.
I have a painful ear. Maybe I should try shoving some ginger in it:-)
Glad you are feeling better
