3 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
3 tsp Honey

I tried this remedy for my sore throat (as suggested by someone on your website) because my throat was killing me and I have a huge meeting tomorrow. Halfway through the cup, my throat began to feel better and it doesn't taste too bad (not good but not bad)."

My husband and I have used the raw vinegar and raw honey drinks before..which, I find to be a very soothing drink..anyway I made up a 8oz cup of hot water with 3 tsp vinegar and 3 tsp+ of honey and gave it to my son..he was amazed how much he felt better within a few minutes...sounds crazy for anything to work that fast..he said his body aches were better also...he is now sleeping peacefully :)"

I have been taking the ACV 3 times/day about 1 TBS in a little bit of water (just dilute it enough to be able to drink it) after every meal. Within 2 days my soar throat was gone!!!! I was amazed. And now, I don't even have the acid reflux, I can eat whatever I want and it's like magic. Thank you for this site and all the good advice. It changed my life. I sleep so well at night now and have a normal life again. It amazes me that such a simple and natural solution has really changed my life. I'm so gratefull."

I went online to see if I could find a quick fix and I saw a remedy for Apple Cider Vinegar and decided to try it. I put 3tsp ACV and 3tsp regular honey into a hot glass of water and mixed it so the honey wasn't all as the bottom. I gargled the entire glass, one mouthful at a time and literally, after the first few gargles, my throat felt much better! It's still a bit tender, but better than what it was, so I'll continue to gargle ever two hours for the next day. Hopefully by tomorrow it's completely gone!"

[YEA]  03/27/2009: Kenya from Nashville, TN writes: "My throat was hurting so bad that I could not sleep tonight. I thought about this website and went to the local store and picked up some apple cidar vinegar. Surprisingly, it did not taste as bad as the smelled. I will definitely share this remedy with my family and friends. Thank you so much for the help. I am glad that we as people are sticking together during tough times. Everyone cannot afford to run to a doctor for every little ailment. Thanks again."

[YEA]  03/22/2009: Ali from Alexandria, VA writes: "I woke up this morning with a sore throat so bad that I could hardly speak. I tried the ACV (3 tsp) as suggested with 3 tsp of honey and HOT water. It was pretty good and it worked! I felt better right away. Thank you!"

[YEA]  03/05/2009: CJ from Sydney, NSW Australia writes: "After reading all the feedback on ACV for a sore throat, I decided to give it a try. I mixed 3 tsp of ACV, 2 tsp raw honey, 1 tsp Manuka honey and 8 oz of warm water. I was dreading the taste of it but it actually tastes not bad. Minutes later and I am feeling a slight relief. I gargled some of it and am sipping on the rest."

[YEA]  03/03/2009: Chris from El Dorado Hills, California, USA writes: "i screwed up on it the first time. i did 3 tsp of acv and 3tsp of honey. no water. it tasted terrible. it burned and i nearly puked. then i tried again with the 8oz of water and it definitley helped my throat.

I recommend people do this... just remember to add the water ;)"

[YEA]  02/25/2009: Stefanie from Boston, MA writes: "I have had a sore throat for about two days now and it wasn't working for me. I googled home remedies for sore throats and came across this website. I began reading about the Apple Cider Vinegar and believed it would work but was hesitant. I have been feeding this to my dog for a while now since shes been having a bladder problem and was suggested the ACV, which gave immediate results. The horrible smell of the ACV threw me off but I knew I had to do it so I gargled it, then choked it down. It was diluted with warm water so it was bearable but I almost threw it up immediately. Although it was disgusting it definitely worked, and I can feel my sore throat getting better already!"

[YEA]  02/23/2009: Aeron from Middleburg, VA writes: "I had not heard of this before, but after finding your website, I mixed 3 tsp organic ACV and 3 tsp raw organic honey in a mug of hot water and drank it. It's actually pretty tasty! My sore throat was IMMEDIATELY better. Now, day two, the sore throat is gone but I have some chest congestion/coughing.... I'm off to try some garlic. Thanks for this great site. I will refer back to it often."

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED]  02/11/2009: T from Memphis, TN U.S. writes: "3tblsp Apple cider vinegar, 8oz warm water and 3tblsp honey. helped soothe my burning throat. With the first time i took it a was able to swallow without pain. But i do plan on taking it 2 more times, so hopefully it will cure my sore throat."

[YEA]  02/11/2009: Michele from Hamilton, Ontario Canada writes: "ACV and honey cured my sore throat. I did the 3 and 3 with 8 oz of warm water and my throat felt better right away. I took it before bed and woke up the next morning with no sore throat at all."

[YEA]  02/02/2009: Harry and Betty from Fullerton, California writes: "Just experienced the grand daddy of all sore throats and decided to try the ACV/Honey recommendation and you've made a believer out of me. I blended 3 tablespoons of ACV with 3 tablespoons of honey to which I added 8 ounces of warm water. I started by gargling the entire glass and in approx. 2 hours started to feel minor improvement so repeated the process and sipped very small quantities the second time around. Again, in a couple of hours I experiened futher relief. I repeated the process a third time and experienced definite relief from what was agonizing pain. I continued the treatment for a total of five times and after 36 hours am completely pain free. This is a minor miracle when you consider I started with my ears on fire and barely able to swallow and only then with a lot of discomfort. Thanks much to all who shared their experiece with this treatment it was very beneficial. Harry S."

[YEA]  01/31/2009: DeskExplorer from Bristol, CT writes: "I had a sore throat for about two days and it was very painful to swallow or talk. I decided to "google" for some home remedies for sore throat, before making an appointment to visit my doctor for antibiotics. I came to this site and decided to try the Apple Cider Vinegar with honey suggestion. I checked my cupboard and all I had was Apple Cider Vinegar and spring water in the fridge. I gargle with two capfull of apple cider vinegar mixed w/ warm water in a tea cup. I use half to gargle and the other half I sipped on until finished. My throat was still very sore, but I didn't expect immediate results. Nonetheless, about an hour before going to bed I decided to gargle with two capful of straight apple cider vinegar w/ no water. WHOA! THAT WAS INTENSE!! There was no burning or anything, but the vinegar was very STRONG! I awoke the next morning (6 hours later) and I could tell an immediate reduction in pain. Realising this I gargle two more capful of apple cider vinegar straight hoping that this would ease the pain even more. About 7-8 hours later the pain was completely gone. AMAZING!! This stuff really works!! Try it!"

[YEA]  01/30/2009: Jennifer from Long Beach, CA writes: "I gargled with about 1/4 cup pure apple cider vinegar and it immediately gave me relief from my sore throat. I swallowed a small amount right after and the sore throat was literally numbed. I love the taste of vinegar and am known to douse food with vinegar, and swallowing that last bit was even tough. I think it's best if you can tolerate the vinegar without diluting it."

[YEA]  01/28/2009: Kay from Angus, Ontario, Canada writes: "REGARDING SORE THROATS. LAST WINTER WHILE IN FLORIDA I OBTAINED A VERY BAD SORE THROAT AND FOUND THAT IF I MIXED 2 TLBS OF HONEY WITH 2 TLBS OF APPLE CIDER VINEGAR AND TOOK A SPOONFUL OF THIS ABOUT EVERY HOUR IT CURED MY SORE THROAT AND SINCE I SING IN A BAND I COULD CONTINUE TO SING THAT EVENING. THIS ACV KILLS OFF THE BACTERIA AND THE HONEY IS A NATURAL CURE AS WELL."

[YEA]  01/23/2009: plrsingp (plrsingp@yahoo.com) from Charlotte, North Carolina writes: "I have also had luck with using ACV as a remedy. But instead I used it to cure a sore throat. I had once read that using apple cider vinegar can kill bacteria that cause sore throats almost instantly. So what you do is gargle with 2 teaspoons of ACV and as little water as you can stand. Gargle for 30 seconds and then swallow... (the ACV contains potassium which is also good). Do it once every hour for a whole day and soon you will start to feel much better."

[YEA]  01/17/2009: Sarah from Mebane, North Carolina writes: "acv worked well for me. i gargled with a 2-1 ratio of acv and water. gargled once every hour. decreased the water as tolerated. worked very well. sore throat was gone within 3 days."

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED]  01/14/2009: Jane from Leeds, UK writes: "I could not sleep my throat was so sore it was really uncomfortable so I googled and found this site. I took 3 tblsp of ACV and 1 tblsp of Manuka Honey and it did help sooth it and I was able to get a few more hours sleep, I might do it again now as it's still sore. It was a bit horrible to take but the benefits were worth it."

[YEA]  12/30/2008: Joan from Honolulu, Hawaii writes: "i tried the mixture of 3 tablespoons honey and 3 tablespoons of acv in 8 oz. of hot water, and have to say it really made a difference. my throat felt significantly better. in the past, gargling with acv has also helped me out. i plan to follow-up with gargling the acv. you have to gargle a LOT of it for as long as you can in order to fight off the sore throat. Thanks for the tip on the honey/acv mixture since it was easier for me to handle than the gargling."

[NAY]  12/23/2008: Marianne from Portage, Indiana USA writes: "I took 2 tbs acv, 2tbs honey and 8 ounces of water to help relieve cold symptoms and a sore throat. My throat is burning more than ever, is there something else that I can do to alleviate this problem."

12/20/2008: Fillip from OH writes: "I used the acv (3table spoons acv and 3table spoons honey (all natural)) the other day my bro used it to make baking soda bombs in 2 liter coke bottles so it can be used for a lot of stuff but nvm that. Seriously make SURE its not too hot i bruned my tongue on it but other than that it was amazing the first sip helped! and with the ingredeints above it tastes like warm apple cider i thnk everyone who posted their comments. just keep drinking this with proper nutirients and mine was gone in a day."
