10. Aloe Vera – The Gentle Mucosal Protector
Aloe vera is commonly used for its soothing and healing properties, especially for skin, but also for internal use.
The gel from aloe vera leaves can coat the throat, creating a protective barrier that may help soothe irritation.
Mix pure aloe vera gel with water or juice to make a soothing drink. Ensure the aloe vera is decolorized and purified for internal use.
Small amounts taken a few times a day can offer relief without causing gastrointestinal upset.
Aloe vera can be a gentle adjunct to more traditional sore throat remedies, offering a unique form of mucosal protection. (10)
