Alternative Therapy For Swollen Tonsils Has Been Around

My aunt introduced me to alternative therapy for swollen tonsils when I was a teenager.

After that whenever there was a sign of the infection coming on in the form of sore throat, difficulty swallowing and swollen tonsils I did several things:

I used a warm saltwater gargle. I dissolved ½ teaspoonful of salt in 1 cup of warm water and I would gargle with the mixture three times a day to help reduce swelling, relieve pain and remove mucus.

The sore throat kept me from eating. Between drinking pineapple juice and mint tea kept me on a liquid fast until the infection had subsided.

Alternative therapy treatment

• Vitamin C- 5,000 to 20,000 mg. daily
• Zinc lozenges-1 15-mg lozenge every 2-3 waking hours for 3 days
• Acidophilus-As directed on label. Take on an empty stomach
• Chlorophyll-Use as a gargle as directed on label
• Cod liver oil
• Collodial Silver

Ancient herbal remedies

• Catnip tea enemas are good for reducing fever
• Chamomile relieves fever, headaches, and pain
• Echinacea fights infection and boosts the immune system
• A hot infusion made from equal parts of dried elder flower, peppermint, and yarrow eases the pain of tonsillitis. Drink this throughout the day
• Hot mullein poultices are soothing
• Sage tea, made with a bit of alum, can be used as a gargle

If you have a sore throat that does not improve within two weeks, consult your health care provider to determine what type of sore throat you have.

If your physician prescribes antibiotics for bacterial tonsillitis, eat yogurt and take acidophilus supplement to replace “friendly” bacteria. Do not take acidophilus at the same time as the antibiotics however.
