We all know sore throats can be frustrating. Even when we sip hot water, empty cough syrup bottles, maybe even take antibiotics, that nagging feeling in our throat just doesn’t go away. If you also feel this way, it may be time to look beyond the usual remedies. If you’ve been treating your cough but not getting better, this blog is for you.
What Causes Sore Throat?
Most people think the reason behind a sore throat is weather conditions or a viral infection. But did you know that it can happen even without infection as well?
Why Does It Keep Coming Back?
If your symptoms are recurring, here’s what could be happening behind the scenes:
1. Gut issues
According to Ayurveda and modern research, a weak digestive system can show up as respiratory problems.
2. Suppressed emotions
Have you been holding back tears? Avoiding tough conversations? Your throat chakra (Vishuddha) might be blocked.
3. Weak immunity
Processed foods can lower your body’s natural defense system, making it harder to heal even minor throat issues.
4. Energetic blockages
In Sujok therapy, lung and throat-related energy pathways can get blocked, causing persistent symptoms.
