gargle
v. gurgle, make a gargling noise; rinse out the mouth with mouthwash
 
n. gurgling sound; mouthwash, liquid used for gargling


Wikipedia English The Free EncyclopediaDownload this dictionary
Gargling
Gargling is a common method of cleansing the throat, especially if one has a sore throat or upper-respiratory virus or infection. The physical act of gargling usually requires that one tilts the head back, allowing a mouthful of liquid to sit in the upper throat. Air is then expelled from the lungs, causing the liquid to bubble and undulate throughout the throat and mouth region.
