It helps you cleanse your throat of bacteria during sore throat. You can consider doing that with heavy salted water (make sure you don't swallow it though) before going to sleep, it really helps ease and treat the sore throat.

It draws the water out of the bacteria causing the sore throat, thereby killing it. It tastes nasty but always seems to help.

If you have a SORE throat, it will numb it. If not, I don't see any other reason for gargling with salt water.
