man i used to have sore throats every

single year growing up and i haven’t had

one in probably

15 20 years which is good

but i wish i would have had a better

remedy back then because

most

sore throats are viral that means

antibiotics don’t work so here you are

you take the medication it doesn’t work

and you gotta suffer uh for a week to

two weeks

now sometimes it does come from a

bacterial infection but most of the time

it’s a virus

now how do you know if it’s viral versus

bacterial

if it’s bacterial you may have more

nausea you might have more digestive

issues like a stomachache

but you’re not usually going to have a

cough versus a viral

you’re going to have a cough

a runny nose

and you’re going to have a lot of

swelling back in your throat now the

cool thing about this natural remedy it

addresses both areas

and the remedy is bay leaves okay and

i’m going to show you how to take it but

bay leaves have both antiviral

properties as well as antibacterial

properties specifically for strep

infections so there’s some really great

research on that which i’ll put a link

down below now bay leaves those little

leaves that you see in your stews or

your soups

have some amazing properties that i want

to go through and one of the properties

that will help you with the sore throat

is that they are analgesic they help you

reduce pain

swelling and inflammation bay leaves are

a great remedy for a cough especially a

chronic cough at night so if your kids

are starting to cough you can give this

remedy to them as well bay leaves have

certain compounds that help stimulate

the immune system that help reduce mucus

that help reduce

headaches especially sinus headaches and

you can use it as an insect repellent as

you’re trying to fix your sore throat if

there’s insects around bay leaves are

good for wound healing they have

anti-cancer

effects they’re good for all sorts of

digestive issues whether it’s bloating

or indigestion or even gas and bay

leaves have this unique

anti-cholinergic effect now what does

that mean that means they inhibit

a certain neurotransmitter which i’m not

going to get into but this property

helps reduce an overactive bladder

it helps people that can’t sweat

that have vertigo that have dry mouth

that are constipated and if they’re

nauseated so as you can see bay leaves

have many different properties

backed up by some pretty cool research

which i’m going to include in the

description now this is how simple it is

it’s going to be a tea okay you take two

large bay leaves okay they can be fresh

or they can be dried out and you boil

some water like two cups and make sure

when you boil it uh maintain that boil

for about three minutes okay so it’s

nice and hot

then put the bay leaves in this hot

water and let it steep for about four

minutes okay you want to make sure that

the essential oils and the other

properties definitely get out into the

water and it’s not too hot to drink now

i would also recommend

cinnamon like a little stick if you have

it because bay leaves are a bit bitter

but the cinnamon will add a nice flavor

and if you want to add a couple drops of

stevia it will make a nice drink if you

don’t know about stevia they have a

liquid version of stevia that’s a

sweetener and it’s from an earth so you

simply want to sip this tea through the

day and you can drink as many as you

want there’s no caffeine and it will

soothe the back of the throat it will

get rid of pain it will reduce the

inflammation it will help fight the

pathogens and help speed up the recovery

now this is very very important

there’s another technique it’s a manual

therapy technique

that i created a video on

that can also help you reduce a sore

throat within about two minutes if you

have not seen this video i highly

suggest that you watch it right now it’s
