Soothe Your Sore Throat Naturally with Cayenne Pepper

Gargling with Cayenne Pepper helped my sore throat immensely. I put together James from Georgia's concoction to further help my throat and and never in my life have I been more afraid to drink something. It does taste like I am drinking the wing sauce straight but it has rid me of much phlegm and aided my sore throat. My throat still burned a bit but once it went away so did most of the pain in my throat as well as some congestion.

I tried 1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper with 1/2 cup warm water gargled and spit six times. The next day my sour throat was almost gone. I didn't even have repeat this again. After one morning it felt good enough to stop. However, I recommend to continue until the pain is completely eliminated. THANKS FOR THIS CURE. ITS AMAZING!!

The Cayenne pepper remedy did not work at all for me I have tried it several times over the past year and has about as much effect as throat losenges. If you have a really really sore throat the only way to cure it is antibiotics trust me I went 3 weeks with a horendous sore throat before giving in and within 3 days I was cured there more expensive but so worth the money.

I had a bad sore throat (which is not something I typically get) for about a week so headed off to the doctor to ensure it wasn't strep. It wasn't and I was told to wait it out. I had to find another option and came across your website and the Cayenne Pepper gurgle. I like Cayenne so it wasn't a stretch. I did 2 Gargles the first night and then maybe 2 times a day as needed for the next 2 days and my sore throat was gone! It did take a 2-3 days to completely work but it did! Amazing - I'm telling everyone I know about this!

Thank you SO much. I used the cayenne pepper mix and within 30 minutes my throat stopped hurting and I could eat. Is there any way I can donate to your website? If it weren't for this site, I would've had to tough it out!

I was sitting at work suffering from an awful sore throat that appeared three days ago and has only gotten worse when I stumbled upon this site and its various recommendations for sore throat remedies. I couldn't leave work, so I asked around if anyone had cayenne pepper. My boss handed me a little container of crushed red pepper flakes, which I threw in a cup of hot water and gargled. I have a high tolerance for spice, so I actually enjoyed the burn, but I could also feel it working fairly quickly. Swallowing hurts a lot less just a half-hour later!

My 15 year old son had a really bad sore throat. Being in the medical field I wasn't quite sure this would work but what the heck we tried it. Unfortunately it did not work for him. However, for those of you who swear by it good for you.

Worked great!!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!! I could kiss you! My throat had been sore for a month and I tried everything from listerine to peroxide, lemon & honey, halls, you name it I tried it. After gargling with the cayenne pepper my throat felt better within an hour and several hours later my sore throat was completely gone! Thanks a bunch, you just saved me a trip to the doctor which I really couldn't afford since I don't have health insurance.

Cayenne Pepper unreal natural help. Thank you everyone for your posts to this website so I signed up so I could say "it really works". I was scared to death to try it because I dont like hot-stuff like spices. But, MAN is this stuff loosening me up! Wow. Just did the gargle about 10 minutes ago and it is absolutely a blessing from God that all that stuff that is bogged up in my nose and under my eyes and my throat is clearing up and "moving". Thank you to each and everyone that responded with their feedback because I had my boss pick me up the pepper at lunch. Thanks so much & God bless!

7/26/07 I attended a night pool party last Thursday and the next day I woke up with a sore throat and a temperature of 99.5. I used my old stand by Listerine but the next day the pain was still there. I tried different rhemedies for three days with no success. Then I found your website and tried 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne powder in 1/2 glass of warm water every 30 minutes. When I went to bed I still had pain but when I awoke in the morning it was like I had a new throat. Cayenne Pepper cured my sore throat. No pain and no temperature, thanks.

Well I really wanted to it work and maybe it did a little but over all my tonsils hurt so horrible. I tried it about 7 or so times in less then 2 days and it really didnt do to much I am still in a good amount of pain. I must be to far gone for it to work anymore and thats a shame I really thought it would work. Oh well just pray for me I can barly sleep or eat.

So I've been having a sore throat for the last 6 days. Today saw a doctor and she prescribed Zithromax 5 day treatment. We'll see. However, the pain I have in my throat is terrible and I can't swallow. 3 advils do not help. So I came here and found the Cayenne Pepper Water gargle thing. I went, took 1 teaspoon into 1/2 cup warmish water. the first few gargles went well.. Im used to spicy food so the tongue thing didn't worry me. But my throat pain is deeper than the gargle hits. So the last round I let some of the solution drop deeper into my throat. When it came into contact with whatever is irritated, my entire head caught fire. I had extraordinary pain from my throat through my ears and I was tearing and shaking uncontrollably, gripping my sink with both hands....I howled from the pain. it took a good 5 minutes and deep breathing to calm down. Basically, I maced myself it seems. This did nothing for the pain in my throat either, only, it showed me that the infection does in fact radiate to my ears. Now I will wait for the antibiotic to kick in I think. Im still shaken up by it but I think I'll survive.

SORETHROAT, well I had a sorethroat for two full weeks, on amoxacillan anti's and nothing, after one application I could feel the affects of the cayenne pepper, the next morning completly gone, I mean like a miracle as I tried everything, honey, lemon, tea, salt water, peroxide--you name it. I made a simple solution of 1 tablesppon of pepper ( cayenne ) one tbl spook of salt, mixed together in hot/warm water and gargled, maybe about 5 or 6 times, every 30 mins or so, and presto gone. I had to write in as all the medication and antobotics in the world did nothing but this worked! amazing.

This remedy is amazing. This remedy (cayenne pepper and water, gargle it and swallow a tiny bit) is the best sore throat cure I've ever found. I woke up last night with a terrible pain in my throat and couldn't swallow. I gargled with this mixture for about 15 minutes and went back to bed. I didn't feel amazing at first, but at least I was feeling a little better and was able to go to sleep. I woke up 8 hours and my throat felt basically totally cured. I am truly amazed, thanks so much for sharing such a great cure! Also, a few weeks ago in the same situation I tried the apple cider vinegar/cayenne pepper/water/honey remedy and found it worked decently but not as good as the cayenne pepper/water remedy. Thanks for the amazing help!
