Lemon, Melaleuca, and,OnGuard work great at helping to soothe an irritated throat. On Guard is both numbing and soothing and has a spiciness to it due to the clove. Gargle a drop of Lemon, Melaleuca, and On Guard, or add a drop of each mixed with a spoon of honey and swallow. I've also gargled a drop of each with warm salt water to soothe an irritated throat. Melaleuca can also be applied topically to the outside of the throat, diluted with fractionated coconut oil in a Roller Ball.
