[YEA]  09/27/2008: Ross from Scottsdale, AZ writes: "After having a bad sore throat for the past 3 days and trying the common things like, hot tea, gargling with salt water, lots of rest, over the counter items nothing was working. I searched this site and found out about Cayenne. I made the following:

1 cup of hot water
1 tea bag
1/4 teaspoon of Cayenne
2 teaspoons of honey
mixed it up and sipped the hot tea with cayenne.
Hard to believe but most of the pain in my throat went away after just drinking half of the cup. I will finish and repeat with another 3 cups as recommended. Thx to everyone out there."

[YEA]  09/25/2008: Nathaniel from Mankato, MN, USA writes: "Wow! I started getting a nasty sore throat last night and haven't slept more than 20 minutes in the last 24 hours or so because of it, not to mention that I haven't been able to talk for the last 12 hours or so. I had tried ibruprophen, aspirin, Tylenol, cough drops, tea with honey, gargling salt water, and some throat spray and this is the only thing that's worked! It is a little uncomfortable, but like someone else said the pain from the cayenne pepper is so much more tolerable than the pain of the sore throat. I'll have to remember this one! Thanks!"

[YEA]  09/25/2008: Lauren from Vista, CA writes: "The cayenne pepper is amazing! I have had a cold for a couple of days and I thought it was going away and then today I woke up with a major sore throat. I could not talk AT ALL. . . tried some licorice tea with honey, didn't help! So I then made some tomato soup and put the cayenne pepper in it (a couple shakes) i could feel it helping the whole time I was eating it. a little later I just put 1/4 teaspoon in a warm glass of water and gargled it throughout the next 10 minutes. That was at least 5 hours ago and my throat still doesn't hurt. I can't feel any throat pain! Talking, swallowing, coughing, breathing doesn't hurt! yay!"

[YEA]  09/19/2008: Tim from Dallas, TX writes: "i have a wicked sore throat and i had to leave work early today. headache and cough too. i was freakin out cause it hurt soo bad and i cant eat or swallow. so i found the cayenne pepper remedy and it worked. i took 8oz of warm water and mixed a tablespoon of pepper in it, and then gargled all of it over a five minute period, smaller amounts at a time, stirring. then i mixed a tsp of cayenne in 3 oz of water and swallowed it. took four minutes to relieve 70% of the pain. completely manageable now."

[YEA]  09/18/2008: Allianna from Azusa, California writes: "On Tuesday I took one shot of hot water with a little less than 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper. Yes, it burned. But it eased the sharp pain I was having in my throat. Three hours later my throat was still hurting a bit, so I thought, what the heck, I'll try another shot. It burned a little more... and that was the end of my sore throat! It is now Thursday, and I am still sick and sniffling and coughing... but at least I don't have a sore throat!

Thank you cayenne pepper!

Side note: I cannot handle hot and spicy foods, but this was not bad. On the other hand, my husband, who has this same cold or whatever it is, has a sensitive stomach, and this remedy made him nauseated. Just a word of caution to those with sensitive stomachs."

[YEA]  09/16/2008: Kimberly from Corbin, KY writes: "I woke up this morning with probably the worst sore throat I've ever had. I tried all of my usual things I do for it, but it seemed to get worse so I searched home remedies on yahoo and found this site. Desperate for relief, I went straight out and got some ground cayenne pepper, mixed 1/4 tsp. with 4 oz. of warm water, started gargling and at first, it set my mouth on fire. I thought, I should have read through more pages, but I was so desperate for relief, I kept on with it and finally just drunk the last two sips and amazingly it instantly helped, it has been about 30 minutes. This has truly amazed me! Thanks to all who took the time to send feedback."

[YEA]  09/16/2008: Stephanie from Pittsburg, KS writes: "I tried the Cayenne Pepper remedy for a sore throat. I mixed 1/4 or so tsp of cayenne pepper with a small amount of orange juice. I wouldn't say it was a miracle cure, but it defenitely helped right away and by the next day I felt about 50% better. Just a tip, I had a glass of just OJ to chase it with...gets a little HOT!"

[YEA]  09/14/2008: Jeanette from Dallas, Texas writes: "Cayenne rocks! I tried the cayenne pepper for sore throat and it completely cured it in 4 doses. I used the advice of another post and put it in orange juice and that is highly recommended! Bypassed my mouth and went straight to burning my throat :) 1/8th of a tsp in 1/2 cup orange juice (high pulp)."

[YEA]  09/13/2008: Kelly from Malibu, CA writes: "two days ago i felt my throat getting soar after spending the day taking care of a friend who had been very sick and was on antibotics. He has been sick for over a week and having a time shaking it. I was determined not to get into the same boat. I jumped onto the computer found this web site and the overwhelming votes for cayenne pepper. I tried the mixture all day yesterday. I fell asleep around 8pm woke up at 2am and i felt like i had swords in my throat. Took another shoot. Woke up 9 am was about to take another shot when i realized my throat was not sore AT ALL! 24 hours later I am still congested and have a couch but that dreadful sting in my throat is completely gone. A huge thanks to all who contributes to this great site. I am about to find out how to un-stuff my nose!
1 shot glass
1/2 acv
1/2 honey
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper"

[YEA]  09/11/2008: Alice from New Fairfield, Connecticut writes: "Cayenne pepper really does work for sore throats! I have been using this remedy for quite a few months now and it works everytime. It does require doses throughout the day but stick with it. My suggestion is to put 1/8 teaspoon of it into a shot glass (2tbsp) of water and down the hatch...it is not going to taste great so get it down as quickly as possible and be done with it is my motto. My 8 year old daughter can down it like a pro and after a few times could even gargle a little in the throat. Have a glass of something (gingerale takes the heat right off for us) to chase it with and be amazed. Cayenne is also a miracle for cuts that won't stop bleeding. It had worked several times for us. Just wash the cut out in water and put a thick paste of it over the wound and cover with a bandage. It does not burn the cut!!! In fact the first time I tried it the wound hurt after I washed it off too soon. Back to sore throats...Apple Cider vinegar works also but my daughter can't tolerate that so we stick to this one...I do both for good measure."

[YEA]  09/11/2008: Stephanie from Jacksonville, Florida writes: "I used the cayenne pepper remedy to help a sore throat. WOW! I mixed 1/4 tsp with hot tea and honey, drank half and gargled the rest. Not a drink I enjoy, but the results were astounding. I'm only on my first run trying this but the improvement I have already felt is incredible. Thanks to everyone who suggested this cure!"

[YEA]  09/09/2008: Tyler from Cape Coral, FL writes: "Actually, I'm surprised to say this stuff is a life saver! I was suffering from a severe sore throat and cold for a few days. Finally I was fed up and was forced to try something different before I went to the doc. I was at work when I purchased and used the product. Just sprinkled a little dab of pepper in my water, enough to where it turned the water orangeish don't know the exact measurements. Anyways I gargled it a few times once every hour. My throat still hurt after that so I thought "Well so much for that idea". Then I went to lunch, took a short nap and when I woke up my throat was almost completely healed! I was like wow! Impressive. I kept thinking maybe it was just coincidence but I'm sure it wouldn't have went away that fast with the pain I had earlier in the day. Try this first and ignore everything else this is all you need!

Also, it kind of left a weird taste in my mouth after awhile but it's better than suffering from severe throat pain which is the worst body pain you can have!"

[YEA]  09/08/2008: T W from Jackson, USA writes: "My combination may be of help to sore throat sufferers as well as people having leg cramps. I have always liked dill pickle juice and, as chance would have it, I was suffering from leg cramps when I took 5 gulps of juice. Lo and behold, my cramps went away. I now make my own dill pickles that uses cayenne pepper in the recipe. I am currently working on a concoction that includes elderberrys, garlic, honey, cayenne, vinegar, as my base. Any input would be appreciated.

Dill pickle recipe:
3 cups water
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup pickling salt
1 clove garlic
1 or 2 cayenne peppers
1 tsp. dry dill
1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning"

[YEA]  09/07/2008: Mike from Pittsbugh, Pennsylvania writes: "It was getting so bad i couldn't sleep or swallow. I believe in the no doctors approach letting my body heal itself with a healthy diet and lifestyle. The pain kept getting worse. I woke up in the middle of the night googled sore throat cure and up came this site. I drank cayenne straight in water and i could feel it working right away opening up all my passages even breathing better. It is now 30 minutes after and my pain went from a 10 of 10 to a 2 of 10. Thank you so much."

[YEA]  09/04/2008: Lynnette from Corpus Christi, TX writes: "With much hesitance, I tried the cayenne just with water (1/4 tsp to about a 1/2 cup water- no honey, nothing else added. The hottest doesn't bother me- just the thought of adding more fire to the already severely sore throat scared me. I was amazed after I tried the first dose. Instantly I was able to swallow, so continued taking throughout the evening. I would swallow some of the last gargle which helped even more. My daugther even tried a some when she began to get a sore throat, and has only needed the one dose (she did use less cayenne). I did coat her lips with chapstick first, and have her rinse immediately."

Other than that, the remedy didn't take away my sore throat fully, but it did kick it around enough to where my pain level is definitely tolerable. I definitely felt a difference immediately and I was completely skeptical of the method. Well done to all."

[YEA]  09/03/2008: Robert Herbst, AP from Delray Beach, Florida writes: "Just wanted to drop EarthClinic.com a line and say that I tried the cayenne pepper (1/4 tsp with green tea and honey) for a sore throat. I was amazed how effective it is. It is probably about 80% better after 3 or 4 cups over 24 hours. I felt a difference after the very first cup, but with each additional cup it is subsiding.

The website is amazing! I'm sending a lot of people to look at it for various remedies."

[YEA]  09/02/2008: Raymond from Chicago, IL writes: "I have had an annoying and painful sore throat for four days now. I was browsing everywhere and everything that can help me stop this pain. I went to my local osco and spent some cash, picked up tussin "cough and cold" halls drops ect ect.... whatever said relives pain due to sore throat. So Pumping myself full of this and that did little to get rid of the pain. More of less it just masked it. Then I come across your site. Bam!! cayenne pepper i thought hey why not give it a try. My first mistake was thinking i can just drink down 1/4 tsp of pepper in a shot glass filled with honey and melted in the microwave. I threw up after the fist half gulp. The texture was blaaa and that amount so fast turned my stomach upside down and right side up. My next try i gargled some and the burning was wonderful on my ever so sore throat. I still however had pain okay one more try. Finally i took a full cup of green tea put the 1/4 tps in added some honey 1 spoon and slowly sipped away. It is now 5am and im finally able to sleep. Thank you everyone for the advice."

[YEA]  08/31/2008: Ellen from Arlington, Texas writes: "I have had a sore throat for months due to GERD. They both got much worse when I caught a stomach virus on top of it. My throat became so sore that I was miserable. I had already had a positive experience using apple cider vinegar for the stomach issues so I looked up sore throat cures. Since so many people had used cayenne pepper successfully, I decided to try it. I shook the cayenne pepper bottle about three times into about 4 to 6 ounces of water. I gargled and within seconds my sore throat no longer hurt. As a matter of fact, it did not hurt at all for the rest of the day. The next day it hurt a little bit again so I did another cayenne gargle. It worked. I don't love cayenne pepper but I love that it makes the pain go away. It is very much worth it to me to use it. I'm totally convinced and will use it from now on for sore throats. Thank you all so very much! Best wishes, Ellen"

[YEA]  08/19/2008: Albert from El Paso, Texas writes: "I had a sore throat since yesterday, tried boiling salt water with salt and garlic, but did not work. This morning after feeling a bit anxious about my situation searched for sore throat home remedies. Found cayenne pepper and tried it. Felt a big relief after 1 hour of sipping cayeen pepper mixed with honey and lime. About mid afternoon felt 60% better. And now I'm feel 90% much better thanks to this mix. I sipped this formula 4 times during the day. Ready for my last one before I go to bed. Thank goodness for this site and sharing valuable information."

[YEA]  08/13/2008: Cory from Thornhill, Ontario CANADA writes: "Cayenne Pepper is my new favourite thing. I suffer from sore throats all the time, but i don't want to take antibiotics. I gargled a 1/4 teaspoon in 1oz of water this morning (with little to no burning) and i already feel better! I will be doing it for every half hour until i can get rid of this nagging sore throat. Thanks for the posts people! I don't know where I would be without Cayenne Pepper and you! SPICY!!"

[YEA]  08/10/2008: Jess J from Boca Raton, FL, USA writes: "I've had this annoying, nagging sore throat since Thursday evening, and although it hasn't gotten worse, I haven't enjoyed it one bit! I've been taking echinacea & goldenseal, Aleve to help the pain, drinking orange juice, and tried Dayquil which helped temporarily.

I googled home remedies for a sore throat this morning and came across this site which has such a great response for Cayenne Pepper that I thought I'd give it a shot.

I've just prepared a cup of hot green tea with the following:

1/4 tsp Cayenne
2 tbsp Honey
12-16 oz water
1 green tea bag (any tea of your choice would work, I just use it for flavor :))

I've had one drink of this cup of tea as it is a little too hot and IT WORKS! My throat barely hurts, and I'm sure by the end of the cup, the pain will have subsided almost completely. I'll definitely keep it up till it's gone.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This site is the best. :)"
