My throat ain’t feeling too good early this week. It was really sore and itchy and I had no appetite to eat anything that’s hard, fried or spicy. So here’s what I ate for breakfast:
Chilled red bean-mung bean-snow fungus tong sui, a cup of strawberry Anlene high calcium yoghurt..
and chilled beancurd (tau foo far). I also increased my intake of fruits and vegetables.
Having cold liquid wash down my throat felt really comfortable and provided some relief from the terrible pain. My friends advised me to visit the doctor to get some antibiotics but I don’t believe in eating antibiotics. I prefer to heal myself naturally and with anything but antibiotics. I also popped E.Excel’s ACT which is supposedly good for strengthening the immune system (consists of alfalfa powder, ganoderma and tangerine peel), echninacea tabs and gargled my throat with salt water throughout the day. I also chewed on fresh basil leaves. The sore throat is now gone but I need to work on getting rid of the phlegm that’s causing my throat to feel itchy and cough.
Try manuka honey +30 factor, and take a teaspoon without drinking water staright after.
