The reasons why gargling with salt-water is beneficial for a sore throat and a cold, as well as the accompanying throat-pain of both, are: salt prevents bacteria from growing, and salt relieves inflammation by drawing moisture out of swollen tissues. My recipe is two measuring-teaspoons of kosher salt desolved in one ice-tea glass of water (if you're not from The South, that would be a highball glass, or a 12-ounce glass).
