Echinacea/Sage treatment exhibited similar efficacy to the chlorhexidine/lidocaine treatment in reducing sore throat symptoms during the first 3 days (P(x < Y) = .5083). Response rates after 3 days were 63.8% in the echinacea/sage group and 57.8% in the chlorhexidine/lidocaine group. These are both very well tolerated.
Echinacea purpurea, is a medicinal plant with a long tradition of being used as a remedy in the treatment of upper respiratory tract infections, and a recent review confirmed the efficacy of echinacea preparations in the treatment and prophylaxis of these infections [7]. The plant has anti-inflammatory and immune modulatory properties that seem to be mediated by endocannabinoid receptor CB2-induced upregulation of TNF-α mRNA [8]; in addition, antiviral and antibacterial properties have been reported.
Another medicinal plant that has been used traditionally and is also recommended for use in infections and inflammations of the mouth and throat is the common Sage, Salvia officinalis. Sage compounds have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, microbial, antinociceptive, and astringent properties.
Sage / Common Sage - Herbalists have long used sage to soothe a sore throat. The astringent properties can bring relief to swollen tissues and the antimicrobial properties can address infection. Studies show that a fluid extract of sage worked better than placebo in reducing pain due to viral pharyngitis (a viral throat infection). With its antimicrobial and astringent properties, sage can be used as a mouth rinse to promote oral health.
Researchers found that ursolic acid, which is found in sage, acts as an anti-inflammatory agent.
