I think I can understand the theory now. I guess drinking brewed tea is better because it will pass through the throat track. However, I cannot get the Pau D Arco materials here in Asia to make tea. They only sell it in the capsule form here.
Many spices will also work. Clove, cinnamon, ginger, etc. Steep these in hot water with a lid over them though instead of boiling them.
However, I guess my sore throat is almost healed now. I will keep you posted. Thanks.
Happy New Year and Have a wonderful 2010!!
Thank you, I wish you the best in 2010 as well. Take care.
