        My go to for the start of a sore throat is “Lavender”.  I put a few drops on my throat area and spread from ear to ear.  Then I lay with my heating pad around my neck.  Always seems to work for me.  Thought I would pass it on.

          I have never tried lavender… next time I will! In Jan I was sick and I made a roller bottle with sesame oil and clove and tea tree essential oils and rolled on/rubbed my neck. That works pretty well. I originally used the clove and tea tree for rubbing on my bladder when I think an infection may be coming on. It really works there at any rate. I thought well I should try it on my throat !

            When using the lavender eo you mean diluted with carrier oil or not? Thanks!

                It is good practice to use most essential oils in carrier oils.  Happy blending 🙂

                    Hi, I am new to Herbalism and this course 😊 what is your favorite carrier oil to use for topical applications?

                        I love using either coconut oil or jojoba oil as a carrier Michele 🙂

                    I’ve always used lavender for calming purposes and it works really well. I’ve never used it for a sore throat but I’m definitely going to try this. Thanks 😊

                      Do you find using lavender topically works better than drinking a lavender tea?

                        My granddaughter has a sore throat.  I hadn’t thought about using lavender.  Thank you for the information.  I was wondering also if it would help for laryngitis?
