Your throat gets sore because the nerve endings in and around your tonsils become irritated. Your ears get stuffy because the blood pressure from the mucus backs up. This generally happens due to inflamation - swelling caused by a reaction to virus or bacterial load. But this can also happen from polution, allergies, pollen, and yes, stress.

If your sore throat is due to chronic allergies, the irritation is caused by toxins and irritants not a virus or bacteria. In this case, see http://daoian.com If it's stress related this is a 5th chakra issue. Basically meaning communication or knowledge  and verbal stress (emotional communication traffic jam). You are holding back from saying what's really on your mind. Regardless, the solution is the same.

1. Eat raw ginger. It is a powerful natural antibiotic. Afterall, they do serve it with raw two day old fish. Daoists use ginger to detox mercury and sulfur alchemically converting it a longevity elixir.

2. Gargle with hot kosher seasalt water (WHY NOT NORMAL TABLE SALT?). It's a disinfectant, and it will deflate your sore irritated tonsils. Remember pouring salt on a snail? It shrivels up and dies!

 

"Thank You! My Throat is soooo much better!"

 

Once your swelling goes down, your nerve endings in there will not be sensitive. Think of other parts of your body that naturally swell up making your nerve endings verrrrry sensitive. Now, stop it.

3. Gargle with baking soda. It makes your pH balance inhospitable to bacteria and viruses. They like acid environments.

4. Stop all acid foods like coffee, sweets, meat, and MILK or Dairy. Dairy, meaning ICECREAM creates lactic A-C-I-D... bacteria love festering in acid... etc.

And NO DAIRY! It makes lactic acid from the lactose and germs fester making your tonsils swell more! Even full grown adults don't know this!

5. Eat only alkaline foods (anything over a 7.0 pH) like raw bitter greens.

Personally, what I do is take handfuls of the herbs: Immortal's Black Garlic and Millenium CF both of which are Martial Medical Daoist Herbal Formulas used in the Enchanted Mountains of Korea for Millenia. I haven't been sick in 2 years. But when I do run out, I do 1-5.

PS... NO HONEY or any sugars at all. Sugar turns into fat which is indeed acid. This is why fat people have the worst health. - Wan Qi. http://twitter.com/journik
