Chamomile tea is good for strep throat. Chamomile helps ease pain and will help keep you hydrated. It has pain-relieving properties and helps relieve headaches.

Echinacea, goldenseal, garlic and Vitamin C boost your immune system and fight off intruders. Slippery elm, peppermint and licorice teas provide relief. You have to be careful- even though many streps are antibiotic resistant, and often strep will relieve untreated, not treating strep medically can lead to serious complications.

The best thing you can do is boost your immune system with herbs like astralagus and echinaecia. Garlic (a natural antibiotic) has been shown to fight certain strains of strep; I suggest at least 3 cloves a day until it clears up, then for an additional 3-5 days. Garlic is safe for everyone, even pregnant and nursing women.

Chew a piece of ginger dipped in honey empty stomach for a few days and see result. For quick result try it three times a day.
