Turmeric and milk combined have a very soothing effect on your throat. Apart from that, the astringent and antiseptic properties of turmeric help reduce the swelling in the area and aid your tonsils in healing faster. Also, pepper also helps disinfect the area and gets rid of that itchy feeling that is common in such conditions. The honey that is added also helps soothe the throat.

To add to all these benefits, the warm milk helps give you significant relief from the pain and discomfort.

What you’ll need

A glass of boiled milk
A pinch of turmeric powder
A pinch of freshly ground pepper
A teaspoon of honey

How to use this remedy

Take a vessel and boil the glass of milk. Once it comes to a rolling boil add the turmeric and pepper powder. Allow it to boil till the smell of raw turmeric vanishes.
Now strain the mixture, add a little honey as per your taste and drink this mixture at night before bed.
According to Dr H.K Bhakru, having this mixture for three nights shows very effective results.
