Gargle

Health Day

Gargling, or the act of washing your mouth and throat with a liquid that is kept in motion, has been shown by a study out of Japan to help lower the chance of upper respiratory infections. Gargling salt water may help break up mucus and reduce pain in your throat, so in order to make a saltwater gargle, just dissolve a teaspoon of salt into a glass of warm water — be sure not to boil it. Gargle the mixture at the back of your throat and make sure to spit it out in the sink afterwards. You can repeat a saltwater gargle as many times throughout the day as needed.
