Gently soothe a sore throat with this powerful throat spray. No unnatural ingredients necessary, just the raw power of honey and immune-boosting properties of clove.

A sore throat can come on without warning along with the signs of a flu or cold. Instead of reaching for chemical-laden throat sprays that do little to fight the underlying causes of a sore throat (bacteria, weakened immune system, etc.), reach for this soothing throat spray that doubles as an immune boosting tonic.

The thickness of raw honey helps to coat the throat and relieve soreness. If you can find Manuka honey, which is a high grade honey with medicinal properties, it is highly recommended. Otherwise, raw organic honey is potent as well with a high level of immune boosting minerals, enzymes and amino acids.

Cloves have high levels of antioxidants. These antioxidants make cloves an extremely powerful immune system booster while also containing antimicrobial properties that help stop a sore throat in its tracks. It is best used at the onset of a sore throat or cold, so as soon as you start to feel symptoms, use a few sprays every few hours.

Making this recipe is quick, which is great as symptoms of a sore throat can come on without warning. Heat water in a saucepan until hot (the water doesn’t have to steam). Add honey and dried cloves, then stir well. Cool mixture, strain out cloves, then funnel into a spray bottle. Keep this spray on your nightstand and use every few hours to soothe and coat throat.

Note: This spray is not recommended for children 5 years of age and younger. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult with their doctor before using this spray.
