March 31, 2016, 11:08 am

Dai­ly gar­gling increas­es the body’s resis­tance to res­pi­ra­to­ry dis­eases. For such pre­ven­tion, plain water is enough. If the throat is inflamed, you will need solu­tions and decoc­tions pre­pared on the basis of med­i­c­i­nal herbs and min­er­al salts. They enhance the effec­tive­ness of treat­ment, and recov­ery occurs much faster.
