Tonsillitis ( Inflammation of Tonsils)

Tonsillitis is a common enough affliction, especially in childhood. It is caused by an inflammation of the tonsils bought on by coming into contact and thus contracting an external infection.
At one time the only cure practiced was the immediate and total removal of the afflicted area and whilst this is still not uncommon, if the patient suffers from persistent bouts then the tonsils will still be removed, these days there are many herbal remedies and treatments that can both alleviate the condition and prevent further outbreak.This is a very simple home remedy for the most comman throat pain which most of us experience very often.

causes:
There are many reasons for this.Execessive stain to your vocal chords, change of weather ,change of drinking water,pain associated with tonsilitis, pain caused due to severe cold,caused due to excessive cool drinks or other frosen food consumtion etc.There are many simple remidies for this small problem .It all depends on severiety of the pain.

Here are various remedies which you can try.

1.)-.Take about 4-5 pepper corns.-Add 1/2 tsp of sugar to it and chew it properly and swallow it.This acts as a very good medicine for soare throat, voice crack, difficulty do speek during these conditions etc.
2.)-Take 2 cups of water , add 2-3 tsp of roughly powdered peppercorns. Bring this to a boil-Now to this you add 3 drops of ghee,then a inch piece of jagerry powdered plus 1/2 tsp of jeera(cumin)-Now simmer and reduce it to 1/4 cup.Filter it and i recommend to have this when its warm and sip by sip.This also helps in mild cough,cold and releives nasal bolckage also.It relieves head ache and also the nasal congestion

3.)Just add about 1tsp of triphala churna into about 20 ml of luke warm water and gargle with this solution about 10 min each time for about 4 times a day.

4)If the condition is of very severe throat pain Then i suggest Salt water gargling i.e warm water stired up with 1-2 tsp preferably rocksalt .And gargle with this for atleast 2 times a day.There is a very quick relieving medicine in ayurvedic practise .I would love to tell if some one needs it.
