Natural Home Remedies to Cure Inflammation of the Tonsils

Tonsillitis is an acute inflammation of the tonsils. These lie on either side of your throat. Some of the symptoms that will confirm that you are suffering with this condition are headaches and fever, pain in the body, inability to swallow and fatigue and weakness. In this condition the tonsils will appear red and swollen and you will not be able to open your mouth wide.

You need not worry about this condition if the infection is minor you can take care of it with a few simple home remedies; however in the case of a severe attack you may need surgery to get the tonsils out of your mouth.

Home remedies for tonsillitis

Start the day with drinking a glass of warm water with the juice of a lime, a spoon of honey and a dash of salt. Drink this juice slowly and let each sip flow down your throat slowly. This will ensure that the tonsils are soothed and that they do not causes too much irritation. The vitamin C in the juice and the honey cause some degree of relief from the pain and swelling and the salt kills the germs and bacteria in the area.

Milk is also an effective cure. Mix a spoon of pepper powder with turmeric in a glass of warm milk and drink it. The herb infused liquid is sure to give you a lot of relief. Drink this for 3 consecutive nights in order to get rid of the condition permanently.

The juices of vegetables like carrots, cucumbers, beets and tomatoes when combined or had separately gives you a lot of relief. They soothe the sore throat muscles and prevent irritation. They also reduce the size of the tonsils thereby making it easier for one to open their mouths and swallow.

Simmer fenugreek seeds in water for 20 minutes and rinse your mouth with this water. The herbal rinse will help to get rid of the inflammation and also reduces the risk of recurring infections.
