by Dr. Jessica Corbeille Harris, ND ![]() Have you been burning the candle at both ends again this winter season? When work and play aren't leaving us with many hours for sheep-counting, a sore throat seems to be the first way we realize we are getting a bit too worn out. If this sounds familiar, try some of these Sore Throat Shots to ease that prickly throat: The Spicy Lemon Drop - 0.5 oz very warm water - 0.5 oz lemon juice - 1 tsp honey - a pinch of cayenne pepper (as tolerated) Shake and shoot - but WAIT! Before you swallow, gargle this shot in the back of your mouth for 1 minute for an added pain killing affect. Enjoy! ![]() Warming Winter Punch - 0.5 oz very warm water - 0.5 oz apple cider vinegar - 1/4 tsp grated fresh ginger root - 1/4 tsp grated fresh garlic - a pinch of cayenne pepper Shake until well combined. Gargle and shoot! Tip: Make this shot in bulk so you can store the leftovers in the refrigerator for the cold/flu season. The vinegar acts as a preservative as the antimicrobial constituents of the ginger and garlic infuse into the water-soluble mixture.
