Apple Cider Vinegar for Sore Throat Treatment

okay ive been so sick for 3 days that i can barely move, cant eat, and general discomfort. i tried the 3 tbs ACV and 3 tbs of honey in a glass of tea. i hate tea but i would do this anytime my throat hurts. it was instant relief for my throat. now if i could get the rest of my body to stop aching, and these cold sweats to go away i'd be good as gold.

Woke up at around 4:30 A.M. and my throat was killing me. It's been this way after a couple weeks and a full regiment of Penicillin. I googled about sore throats and found this site. Made me a conconction of ACV and tea and it's working surprisingly well. Use 1 cup water, throw in a teabag of earl gray tea add 2 teaspoons suger and 2 tablespoons ACV. Seems to be working for me, hope it works for others too.

My throat was hurting so bad,and woke me in the early hours this morning. I have gargled several times today with warm salt water. When I found this website I tried 3 Tbs. ACV,3 Tbs.honey,and 6 oz.warm water. My throat has already eased. thank you so much.

I'm having sore throat for 5days and antibiotics are not helping.Saw your web & found/read cure for sore throat. I mixed 1tsp ACV with half cup of hot water, tea &1 tsp honey with calamansi (like lemon). I'm now sipping it and pain in my throat is fading. Tomorrow I'm going for 2tbsp. of ACV & honey. Thank you so much for this valuable info. God bless you guys,& keep on doing good.

Sore Throat Remedies: Every site I looked at said ACV really works...... WRONG! I used 2 tbsp in 1 cup of warm water, gargled it. My throat hurt even more after that. I went to the hospital it hurt so bad. Was told it wasn't strep, just very very red and inflamed. the ACV actually burnt my throat. I am finally starting to feel a little better after 5 days. So in my opinion stick to the salt and water solution and avoid the ACV.

Sore Throats: Apple Cider Vinegar and Honey go a long way!!! My sore throat started only a day ago and has gotten so bad that it hurt to drink water and talk. It just woke me up at 3am (as I write this). So I searched and found this site. As a Nurse Practitioner I have been educated about all the different meds out there, but lack the education in any herbal remedies (which would have been nice). Though I do recommend that for any sore throat lasting over a week, or if you are unable to talk or breath, or if you have white patches on your throat in the mouth, seek help from your health care provider...anyway, the point is that the ACV remedy worked for me! I dropped about 2 Table Spoons of ACV with a Table Spoon or two (depending on taste) in some water and heat it up...I have been sipping on it while typing this and am now able to swallow my spit without wincing...it isn't completely gone, but maybe now I can get some sleep.

Absolutely speechless! My sore throat came on fast over the course of 1 day. By the end of the first night, it proved to be the worst I've had to date. skeptical, but desporate, I thought if its a bad idea, it wont hurt much worse. I just mixed apx 3 tsp in some normal tea, I've taken 4 sips while writing this and I already feel so much better, not gone, but mild enough to live with. Sounds scary, but you'll be very plesantly suprised. This is one chance you wont regret taking.

I READ ALL THE DIFFERENT REMEDIES FOR A SORE THROAT- GARLIC, ACV, TOBASCO, HONEY, CAYENNE AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHICH TO CHOOSE! SO I COMBINED THEM ALL TOGETHER. 8 OUNCES OF HOT WATER AND 4 TBS OF ACV, 2TBS HONEY, SEVERAL DROPS OF TOBASCO, 2 CLOVES OF GARLIC 1/2 TEASPOON OF CAYENNE. I STINK BUT I FEEL GREAT! VERY POWERFUL DRINK BUT NOT SO TASTY AND YOU HAVE TO KEEP STIRING SO NOTHING SETTLES.

ACV vapors cured a very bad sore throat that was back behind my left ear. I have a deviated septum so, I felt very positive about inhaling the fumes of the cider vinegar. I figured this would be better than the saline spray I had been using for 2 days. Within minutes I was able to cough up and blow a lot of mucus from my nasal passage!! and my throat....WAS BACK TO NORMAL!!!! Thank YOU SO MUCH!!. All of you guys and ladies who took the time to put your comments and results on this site. I hope I have helped someone with my results as well. I love this site!!

for the past week i have had the worst sore throat i can imagine. i would cringe every time i had to swallow, and the left side of the back of my throat was swelled up and almost kinda blue. i have been on aspirin most of the time and that almost makes it completely die down, however it doesn't cure it at ALL. i thought it went away 3 days ago but yesterday i discovered i had it back again. i tried the ACV w/ water and a little honey but couldn't even keep my mouth open long enough to gargle it. then i tried the cajan (sp?) pepper, and that felt like it was going to do something but nothing so far. my best bet right now is aspirin, as sad as that is, and a little honey helps soothe it every now and then. i still have yet to try the lemon but i've found that hot soup is always a nice option.

Glad to know that the Apple Cider Vinegar remedy works for so many. It didn't work for me: it made matters much worse. I've had a nasty sore throat for weeks. Throat cultures by the ENT revealed nothing out of the ordinary. I tried the ACV remedy but by the following day, the pain in my throat intensified. In search of some relief, I ventured to the health food store. I'm now using a Propolis throat spray (alcohol free). I felt much better after the first application. Things are improving nicely. Good luck to all.

Salty Water is a great one but it take too long. Vinegar and honey actually works quiet well it may be the most disgusting thing on the planet but it works. Just remember to take sips of water in between taking the remedy.

I always use vinegar/honey equal parts, when I have a sore throat, the vinegar kills bacteria, just like antibiotics.

Since there are so many chemicals in what we eat, and the pharmaceutical companies are making millions from us. I have decided to go natural with certain things. Yesterday a friendly cashier coughed in my direction. That night I suffered from the most horrible sore throat and nasal congestion I have ever had. After a little research I took ACV with warm water, gargled at first then drank the rest. If you want a quick natural cure, this is the way to go. Not only did my sore throat go away, but my entire nasal cavity was drained. (Sorry) no infection, thank god, some ear wax came out without any trouble. Cheap, and no doctor visit. They are going to have to get money from someone else.

The Apple Cider Vinegar has to be the nastiest thing ever created, it really does not taste good, but my voice does not crack, squeak, or break anymore.

ACV is not generally available in the UK. My guarantee for success is a spoonful of sugar doused in ordinary vinegar, it bites your throat but in the words of the song, it helps the medicine go down.
