Natural Remedies for Ulcers and Sore throat

 Here's on my list for ulcers and sore throat:

1. Salt gargle with luke-warm water. 

2. Applying salt on the ulcers. It can be painful if this is your first attempt.

3. Propolis throat spray. It can be applied to ulcers as well.

4. Sleeping earlier, before 11pm. Usually sufficient sleep and rest help the body to self-heal naturally. 

5. Taking fruits and vegetables to increase intake of vitamin C to improve immunity. If fruits make your sore throat or ulcers worse, just take vegetables. 

6. Take some ginger to replenish energy for healing. 

7. Drink lots of water.

8. Almond water also soothes the throat. 

9. Minimise the intake of the food that causes the sore throat and ulcers, e.g. deep fried food, baked pasteries, grilled and barbecued food, junk food, roasted food and nuts. 

Ulcers

- For very persistent ulcers, I use watermelon frost powder （西瓜霜）which can be bought at supermarkets, TCM pharmacies and stores. 

Sore throat

- Ujjayi breathing can expel phlegm and is effective at the initial stage of having mild sore or scratchy throat to prevent a full blown sore throat. However, if your sore throat is very bad and it is painful to do ujjayi breath, skip it. Watch how to do Ujjayi breath here.

Note: If your ulcers or/ and sore throat does not get better, do consult a doctor.
