Herbs for Health - Throat Irritation


Expert: Dr. Habibullah - 10/15/2008

Question
I am looking for ways to heal my throat. I am a former smoker but still feel the effects of smoking. It seems like my throat always hurts, but lately I've been having more difficulty swallowing. I drink a variety of teas, some of which are wonderful. It seems like they only provide temporary relief though.
I've had strep throat 3 times as a child(before smoking), so I know things could be much worse. I never have any discomfort breathing, but simply swallowing saliva sometimes seems like a chore.
Ive been eating mostly fresh fruits and vegetables for months and havent noticed much improvement. Are there any specific types of vegetable or roots that would aide in healing the throat? Or are there certain herbs or supplements that would be beneficial?
Its fairly easy to find temporary relief, but my goal is to provide an environment where my throat will heal altogether. Any suggestions?

Answer
Dear Sam,
It seems you are having recurrent throat infection.  I wish to suggest you a simple home remedy, take 150 ml of milk with 1 pinch of dried ginger if possible daily at bedtime. Hope this will help you.
Thanks for your query.
yours sincerely
Dr. Habibullah
