I have been battling with a frustrating sore throat for the past few days now , just began with the usuals such as warm teas with honey and whatnot , though it did not seem to work at all . I then went to my pharmacist tried a throat gargle and and an antiseptic lozenge for half a day without any improvement . I woke at midnight ( tonight ) with a throat i could not swallow or speak with , i was even considering going to the hospital before bumping into this site which seemed to be quite helpful from the off set . I gathered that this cayenne powder worked , though i did not have any on hand so i found a trend of anything hot would be beneficial in relieving a sore throat . So i found some curry powder , initially i put in a few teaspoons to a glass of warm water and only gargled , it was annoying hot though i i didn't swallow , so i tried a teaspoon of black pepper with the curry, gargled and swallowed ... i coughed and choked as well as various burning sensations deep within the affected area . I then read on another post about someone sipping tablespoons of vinegar, took two tablspoons initially ... they went down well with more of a stinging knife poking sensation in my throat , so i finished up taking one more ... I can swallow to a degree , stuffiness in my head has subsided , though i will check in the morning to see how i feel.

I have had the most horrible sore throat for 6 days now. I have finally lost my patience with it and I went online this morning to see if I could find something to fix it.. Thank You Thank You for this site.. I found the ACV, some lemon juice and a drop of honey. Warmed up the mix and gargled, gargled and gargled some more. Now I have a little cup to sip on. It is feeling some better, not a whole lot, but I just started. Heck any relief right now I am satisfied with. Oh definitely keep a glass of water near by so you dont get dehydrated or if you choke.

I discovered the wonders of ACV a few months ago. My husband caught a viral infection and was so sick he lost 2 days work, after two weeks he was still sick and I got a scratchy throat by the 3rd day I could barely talk or eat it hurt so bad. My Mom suggested I try ACV and honey mixed together and take 1 TBL 3 times a day. I was desperate so I tried it. 1 spoon in the morning and wow did it burn my throat I had to drink some water to stop the burn, I had 3 spoons of the ACV and honey mixture and that evening my sore throat was gone!!! My husband refused to try it and a few days later he called me from work and said he was going to the ER because he felt so sick. He was sent home with a prescription. I told him just try the ACV and honey, you have been sick all this time but I was sick only 3 days, just try it! He did and it worked, he never filled the prescription. I plan on buying some unprocessed ACV to treat other health problems I have. ACV is a wonder.

I am very predisposed to having cold, sinusitis, bronchitis, and up til now, I have taken probably 1/2 dozen different antibiotics, nasal and oral inhalers, and decongestants. Taking so much at once tended to make me feel worse, and the inhalers ultimately irritated my sinuses. I finally tried a couple different acv recipes to relieve my cough and sore throat. I have not taken one prescription since, and I'm having trouble less often. As soon as I feel a tickle in my throat, I reach straight for the acv. My preferred recipe is 3 parts acv, 3 parts lemon juice, and 2 parts honey with a shot or so of hot water to help dissolve the honey. I've read that organic would be better, but I've just used the standard grocery store stuff, and it's still been nothing short of miraculous. The taste is honestly not as bad as any cough syrup or decongestant I've ever taken, and it's easily twice as effective. The tickle in my chest that precedes a serious coughing fit is STOPPED ALTOGETHER before I even finish drinking this. I am still sort of stunned at how effective this is. Last night I didn't get a chance to mix up a little thermos to bring to work with me, and I regretted it this morning. The congestion in my chest had built up during the evening and overnight, and this morning the cough had settled in a bit. I've been taking a dose every couple of hours, or whenever that tickle comes back, and I've already gotten a lot of congestion out of my chest and sinuses, and my ears have cleared out and everything. This is the most phenomenal and fastest-working remedy I've ever used. I've been spreading the word to my friends and family since. I'll never take decongestants again! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I had a sore throat for about 4 days and the tickly cough was driving me crazy. In desperation I trawled the internet and found your site and the ACV remedy. Luckily I had a bottle of ACV in the cupboard and so I tried it with honey dissolved in a small amount of water. It was horrible to swallow but the results were almost instant. The annoying cough has now mostly gone and I had a good nights sleep. My throat still feels a little 'lumpy' but its bearable now. Thanks to all who posted the remedy.

Wow, I already feel some improvement!! I found this website out of desperation as I would much rather try something homeopathic than have to go see a Dr. Have had a sore throat for the last 2 days and it got to the point that I could not even swallow my own saliva with out discomfort or cringing (ms). I tried the ACV, honey and water method and felt instant relief. I will keep sipping throughout the day. Just in the last couple of sips I already feel better. It is the holiday season and I want to be able to eat delicious food and not just soup!!! Thanks for this website. By the way, why is the vinegar bad for teeth?

I am 21 and have been taking ACV for about a month now and I have noticed a increase in energy especially after I take it. Most of all it made my allergies and fluid build up (around throat and sinus) almost disapper. I swig oragnic pure ACV (with mother) strait from the bottle. I try to ingest only a tablespoon each time. Then rinse my mouth with water (to protect teeth) then drink a big glass of water. I try to do it twice daily. My bother asked my if I had any cough drops when he was at my house not long ago and I said no but you can try some of this ACV. He tryed a little swig and he said it instanly took his sore thoat away. It makes your senses almost come alive, it's the real deal.

Yes, I felt instant relief. After spraying my mouth with cloraseptic spray, gargling with salt, drinking tea all in sequence. I went online and found this remedy, and I was skeptical at first. Mostly just scared of potential burning sensation on my throat. But I just mixed ACV with water, waited a bit, and I feel much better. My breathing has improved too. I'm looking forward to a good night of rest! Thank you.

To the gentleman whom has used apple cider vinegar, hot water and honey to cure his sore throat for fifteen years, Thank You! I have had a sore throat for two days along with discomfort in my chest due to a dry cough. I am sipping on a cup of your "cure" as I type. I feel a slight tingle but no burning. The taste leaves room for desire but, I can survive it. I am getting ready for bed so I will let you know how I feel tomorrow. Keeping my fingers crossed for a good night sleep.

Okay, so my wife has me all paranoid about this volcano of a sore throat I've had for four days, so bad I can't even sleep at night and now I'm starting to get a little worried. I get online and come to this site to see if there is anything I can do before going to a doctor on Tuesday. I read about using apple cider vinegar and go on the hunt in the kitchen to see if we have some at 1am, I find it and mix like 2 tbsp of it with one cup of water and start gargling. At first it kind of burned, but I stayed consistent and gargled about every hour and a half. It's now 7am and I only feel a little bit of an ache in my throat. This will be one I use from now on and make my kids use in the future. Thanks for the info, maybe tonight I will get some sleep.

Apple cider vinegar cured my sore throat. I had a sore throat for the last 2 days and woke up at 4 am this morning it hurt so bad I could hardly swallow. After searching for remedies I found this site and read about apple cider vinegar and made a tea with 3 Tbsp of apple cider vinegar 3 Tbsp lemon juice 2 Tbsp of honey and 16 oz. water, then I heated it to sipping temperature. Its almost 6 am now and my sore throat is nearly gone.

I have used the following recipe for my throat whenever it feels sore or tired. I am a singer and so it has been really helpful to have an easy natural remedy to use. Heat up 1 desert spoon of cider vinegar, about 1 cm fresh ginger, chopped, in water (enough for one or two drinks depending on how strong you like it). Strain the drink into a cup and add one teaspoon of honey. Drink while still warm.

I was looking for a cure for my sore throat when i came across your website with remedies for my ailment. The moment I read that apple cider vinegar is used to cure sore throats, i ran to the kitchen to find some! By the grace of God, I had all the ingredients except the lemon juice which i substituted with calamansi juice. I'm drinking it now and my sore throat is going away faster than i expected! I thank God for all of you! Thank you so much!!! God bless!
