Apple Cider Vinegar for Sore Throat Treatment

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!

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.

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!

Put some honey in with the warm water and ACV. It actually tastes pretty good after that!

I actually NEVER get sore throats and was astonished at the pain. I have a 3 month old baby, a 3 year old, and am a business owner, so not being able to sleep due to the sore throat is too much. I found this website after searching "sore throat remedies" I am drinking the "tea" now...i think it actually tastes good! I'm used to ACV as a healer though...so its not bad at all! I'm only about four sips in and I think it is working already...thanks for remining me of ACV...i hope it works!

I used 3 tsp ACV and 3 tsp honey...mixed with 8 oz hot water.

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.

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.

3tblsp ACV, 8oz warm water and no honey don't like it. It really helped throat. I don't know if it cured it but I really feel much better Thanks For This Remedy. Will def. use this website again....

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.

I am preparing for singing on the weekend and cannot afford the sore throat that is threatening. I googled "Natural Remedies" for a sore throat and found this website. I am familiar with the taste and smell of ACV as I sometimes drink a capful diluted with water after eating. I am sipping my drink and am hopeful come morning that my sore throat is a distant memory. I used 3 tsp ACV and 3 tsp honey with hot water.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
