Fruits

• You can benefit from a potent natural diphtheria treatment by having only orange juice and water in small portions throughout a day. This will aid the body's immunity system to fight the infection better and lead you to a speedy recovery. Like orange juice, fresh pineapple juice, taken in small doses, will also help remove the infection.
  
  

Herbs

• Among herbs, garlic is important for natural diphtheria treatment. You could chew one clove of this herb at a time to bring down fever, eliminate the infected throat membrane coating and for gradual relief from other diphtheria symptoms. Make it a point to chew about 30 g garlic per week. Even the juice of this crushed herb, taken 2 to 3 spoonfuls per day, forms a great home cure of diphtheria. Twirl the juice in your mouth for a while, swallow and repeat the procedure for a while for effective results. Among herbs, you could inhale the scent of a pasty mixture of leaves of the castor plant and drumstick, along with a few cloves of garlic. The same mixture, when blended with tepid water, is an effective gargling medium for diphtheria patients.
  
  

Packs and Enema

• Apply wet cold packs to the throat area every 2 hours for relief from diphtheria. If there is high fever, this same pack should be applied all over the body to bring down the temperature. This gradually reduces the fever with profuse sweating, which is when you have to make certain that the patient, who will feel weak, is properly taken care of. Take precautions to deal with similar situations within a few days because the fever might return. Administer a water enema every day.
  
  

Tobacco and Salt

• An effective diphtheria home cure comes in the form of inhaling and exhaling tobacco smoke. Get hold of a tobacco pipe with live coal and tar. Smoke it through the mouth, exhaling through the nostrils. A well-known diphtheria home treatment consists of having a glass of water with 1 tbsp. salt mixed in it. It provides relief from sore throat and aids in fighting breathing trouble that results from insufficient salt in the body.
  
  

General Measures

• Some home remedies for diphtheria start with a fast, with no milk allowed for the patient. To prevent swallowing infected tonsil secretions, lie on your side as opposed to on your back. Placing adsorbent cotton in the mouth helps soak the secretions too. It is always better to keep the patient quarantined.
