Harness the Power of Cayenne Pepper for Strep Throat Relief

CAYENNE PEPPER REALLY WORKS! The first night I mixed cayenne and pure lemon juice, and painted the back of my throat with the mixture. The following day I gargled with 2 tablespoons of African Ground Red Pepper (cayenne) mixed with a 1/2 cup of water. I gargled every hour for 5 hours. I then took 2 Motrin and Tylenol Sore Throat and Cough. My strep throat is GONE!!!!! It only took 2 days to cure it. The third day it was gone. This sure beat taking antibiotics.

I tried the Cayenne Pepper for Strep Throat. This really works. At first I was a bit skeptical about the whole cayenne pepper, but it really does work!! Within two days my throat was feeling better already. The only thing I don't know is HOW it works, just thank god it works.

My husband has been having repeated episodes of strep throat, and passing them on to me. I detest antibiotics because they play havoc with body, but I can't afford not to treat strep throat because I end up with a condition called guttate psoriasis (small, raised, white, scaly patches everywhere, and I mean everywhere, on my body; it took over a year to disapper the last time I had it). My husband has tried grapefruit seed extract to cure his strep throat, but that didn't work at all. So this Halloween, when I felt certain that I had strep throat, I turned to the internet in desperation, and found this site. I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so the strongest dilution I could handle was about 1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper in about 6 oz of water. I gargled with it every 15 minutes, as recommended, for 2 hours, and then gave up, feeling that it wasn't helping (and my mouth was on fire). I passed out for a nap, and woke up with my sore throat mostly gone! And I felt like I might even be able to go trick-or-treating with my kids that night! I continued gargling periodically for the rest of that day and the next. It's been a few (gargle-free) days now, and my throat and energy are fine. I'm impressed! I must add that I have also been taking high doses of Vit C and echinacea. While my throat was sore, I was also drinking a lot of warm water with raw honey and lemon. My only complaint is that by the end of the second day, the cayenne pepper gargle made me gag. That night, my husband served up steak that had been marinating in a mixture which included a small amount of cayenne pepper, unbeknownst to me, and I couldn't figure out why the taste of the steak was making me ill until I asked if there was cayenne pepper in it!! I have been perusing the rest of the site, and can't wait to try some more natural cures!

I used half a lemon, two regular spoonfuls of honey, 3 drops of tobasco, a pinch of cayenne pepper, and chopped up half a clove of garlic. i put this all in a huge mug and strained it and drank it taking small sips. It tasted better than i thought, kinda like a spicy lemon instantly my throat was better. Trust me. I get sore throat/strep throat ATLEAST 3 times a year and this really works...Made me sneeze a little the first time though ; ). Try it!

It's 1:23 in the morning and i haven't really slept in two days because of the pain of strep throat. I'm absolutely exhausted. Nothing seems to work, not ibuprofen, not niquil. Finally out of desperation i search online for sore throat remedies and find the idea of gargling water mixed with cayenne. Finally....I feel i might be able to go to sleep, and I think i just might, so good night, and thank you SO much.

Seems going barefoot before summer always gives me throat probs. became allergic to penicillin age 14. tonsils died, not removed. after becoming a health nut adult, still got strep/laryngitis min once ev year, lasts 6wks. do acv 3x every single day. used to use echinacea, graduated to elderberry, then oregano. monday, no signs. felt great, got laryn again. it only took 3 hours to hit. no more swallowing, or talking. today's thurs. tried all these cures over the years. jic, i tried every single one this a.m.! 99% of you are lucky. guess i'll call the doc. not a single cure that works yet! cayenne feels a little better ev few seconds tho.
