killer sore throat?

[yellowbow]

I've been totally happy with going raw so far as I've had few of the usual detox symptoms (acne, etc.), but I've developed this very raw (not a pun ;),painful feeling in my throat. Can this be attributed to detox as well? Also, I'm a singer and need my voice, so are there any raw remedies out there to help me fix this?

thanks a million,

Hello I am unsure of remedies, curious to see what pops up too. For a couple of days I had a sore throat & certain raw foods really made it worse. I no longer have the sore throat, it kind of came with a head cold like symptoms..but no cold.

I had this, as well. It lasted for nearly a month, and was EXCRUTIATING! I tried any and everything under the sun. Finally, my professor suggested I try acupuncture. After the first session, the pain was about 75% gone. After two sessions, the pain was completely gone. Other than that, I would suggest eating more foods that help fight inflammation. Such as flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, pineapple (although if your throat IS raw, that may hurt!), garlic, and olive oil. Good luck, hun!

I find a spoonful of a really good quality raw honey (Really Raw, totally unheated and unfiltered) works for me. Soothes a sore throat or a tender stomach. I read about others using Hawaiin Manuka honey for medicinal properties, though I have not personally tried it.

I will absolutely try the raw honey. Thanks for the suggestion RawKnitster. I'm also glad to hear that this isn't totally abnormal.

Thanks everyone!

We swear by Manuka Honey in our household..for lots of things, sore throat or cough being two of them.
This is the one we use; Wedderspoon Raw Organic Organic Manuka Honey and I usually buy it from Amazon, best price I have found and free shipping.
