Kate:

This is the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast, episode number 178, with Joette Calabrese.

Joette:

Hi, I’m Joette Calabrese, and I welcome you to our health care movement — yours, mine and the countless men and women across the globe who have retaken control of their families’ health with Practical Homeopathy®.

So, for the next few minutes, let’s link our arms as I demystify homeopathy — what was once considered an esoteric paradigm — into an understandable, reproducible, safe and effective health care solution available to all.

This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®.

Introduction: Types of Sore Throats and Their Associated Homeopathic Medicines

Kate: (01:00)

Welcome back to the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast. I’m Kate, and I have a question for you, Joette.

Joette:

Let’s go.

Kate:

I’ve been thinking. A sore throat is one of those symptoms that seems so ordinary, yet it can keep you from everyday things like talking, eating, sleeping, even sometimes thinking clearly.

So, I want your perspective. When that annoying sore throat occurs, many people reach for lozenges, maybe a saltwater gargle, sometimes even an antibiotic.

Joette:

Exactly. But we know, of course, with Practical Homeopathy®, we have some really efficacious solutions. We don’t think of a sore throat as just a sore throat, regardless of the presentation. We often look at the kind of sore throat that’s in front of us.

Because a fiery red, sudden, painful sore throat is not the same as one that’s pus-filled, splinter sensation in the throat, and neither is the same as the one that makes the pillow wet from drooling.

They’re all a little different.

Kate:

I’d like to ask you, Joette, to give us some homeopathic solutions to different kinds of sore throats. Can we look at three very different sore throat pictures, and will you share the medicines that might match those pictures?

An easy go-to combination medicine for sore throat

Joette: (02:24)

Sure. I’ll give you some clear practical tools you can use the next time a sore throat shows up in your home. But let me also say, before I discuss the different types of sore throat, I’d like to share an easy go-to combination homeopathic medicine by Boiron. It’s called ThroatCalm®.

Now, I also have to say parenthetically, Boiron’s not the only manufacturing homeopathic pharmacy that we can buy combination medicines from. But this is just one of them that I’d like to talk about today.

So, these combination medicines, I think, have extraordinary value because they’re so easy to use and easy to share with loved ones and friends.

So, I’m looking right now at the back of the box of the product called ThroatCalm. Every ingredient is, of course, homeopathic. There’s also a spray that they call ThroatCalm Spray. And what’s interesting is that remedies that are in it are Echinacea 1X and Plantago major 1X.

Kate:

And that’s the spray, right?

Joette:

That’s the spray. Yes. I should have made that clear. Yes. Yes.

Kate:

I love these combination medicines from Boiron and other manufacturers, like you said, Joette, but can you share some s
