An inflamed throat is often the first sign that you're getting sick. Help nip it in the bud with a few simple tricks.

To complete this How-To you will need:

1 lemon
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
3 tbsp. honey
A humidifier
Epsom salts
Ibuprofen
Chamomile or licorice tea

Step 1: Gargle a mixture of lemon juice and salt in 8 ounces warm water for one minute every hour. It will wash away mucus and improve circulation.

Step 2: Drink a tea of apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, a pinch of cayenne pepper, and honey in a glass of hot water at least three times a day.

Tip: Chamomile and licorice teas soothe a sore throat.

Step 3: Keep the air moist with a cool or warm humidifier to relieve swollen air passages. Or, set out a shallow pan of water, which will evaporate and naturally humidify the air.

Tip: Don't smoke and stay clear of secondhand smoke and other airborne pollutants.

Step 4: Take a hot bath with Epsom salts. The magnesium sulfate is absorbed through the skin and draws toxins out of the body.

Step 5: Take an anti-inflammatory such as ibuprofen to reduce swelling and discomfort.
