Constant sneezing cold and cough leads to throat soaring issues, even if you eat something, you still have problems. Also, the germs of these problems also enter the body through the throat. Therefore, it is very important to take care of the throat and for it best medicine is  gargaling with just hot water twice a week. 

Gargling provides quick relief and eliminates germs with minimal effort in just five minutes. Doing this with hot water at least twice a week is a very simple but effective habit. Warm water kills the germs in the throat and mouth and maintains cleanliness and reduces the risk of infection. In the daily rush, proper care of the mouth is not taken, due to which germs grow on the teeth. Gargling with warm water soothes sore throats, reduces gum swelling, and freshens breath. It improves blood circulation in the mouth and accelerates the healing of minor wounds.

Adding ingredients like salt, with its antibacterial properties, alleviates throat pain and swelling. Turmeric, an antiseptic and anti-inflammatory agent, prevents mouth and throat infections. Alum water can ease earaches and sore throats, and clear the voice. Salt water gargling also aids digestion by dislodging food particles and promoting cleanliness.
