Prevention and Alternative Treatment of Strep Throat

Prevention

Washing the hands frequently can help to prevent strep throat.

Exposure to infected people should also be avoided. In order to prevent transmission of the disease within households, consult a doctor if any family member suddenly develops a sore throat (especially if it is accompanied by fever).

Boosting the immune system is also important to help prevent the development of strep throat. Vitamin C and zinc are often recommended for this purpose, as are goldenseal, echinacea, and garlic.

The first pressed olives (usually cold-pressed and produces lower acidity levels) is called Extra Virgin olive oil. It is particularly rich in the phenolic antioxidants as well as squalene and oleic acid, so should be the best for usage. Olive oil should be stored in a cool, dark place, away from heat so as not to destroy its constituents.
