Soothe Your Sore Throat Naturally with Cayenne Pepper

Cayenne Pepper Remedy for sore throat has worked wonders for me, too! I've been ill with a sore throat since Dec. 20th, and on Jan. 12th, began my THIRD round of antibiotics (different from the first two)and by Jan 24 was still NO better; on that day, I found this site & tried the CAYENNE PEPPER GARGLE--1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper in 4 oz. of water, gargled with it several times a day. Immediately the pain subsided, and the mucous coating my throat & vocal chords began to loosen. Mixed another glass for that night, repeating the gargling. Today, my throat is MUCH better, and I am no longer hoarse. Gargled again today, will continue for a few more days and now will be able to have my karaoke party Sat. night and sing after all! THIS IS THE GREATEST SORE THROAT CURE I'VE EVER TRIED & I recommend it to everyone! Never will I be without cayenne pepper! Thanks to everyone who gave their feedback, and to this site.

I've had tonsillitis for the last 2 1/2 weeks. Antibiotics took the pus away, but the pain stayed and was severe. I've barely been able to eat or drink, and my throat has been very raw. I've tried salt water, vitamin C, antibiotics, and anything else I came across. Nothing helped. I came across this site and decided to try the cayenne pepper with warm water. I didn't think there was any way it would actually work, but I figured I had nothing to lose. I gargled every 15 minutes for 45 minutes. I still had a sore throat after the 3rd time, but my daughter woke up from her nap and I had to get her. I noticed about 30 minutes later that my sore throat was gone. I cannot believe it actually worked! I just wish I would have found this sooner. I am so grateful for finding this site.

I just tried the Cayenne Powder in warm water... my throat has been hurting so bad it hurts to swallow... I put 1 teaspoon of pepper in a coffee cup of warm water and gargled till it was all gone... I took a BC powder to break the fever... 2 hours later i am feeling great... thank you for posting this site

Cayenne really works wonders on your throat!! Pain reduced by at least half after first try!

I have had a sore throat for three days now, the most painful one I have ever experienced. I was actually in PAIN each time I tried to swallow. I read this website and sent the kids to the store to buy some. I mixed the water and cayenne and so far have gargled three times and it feels a little better, I'll check back tomorrow.

After waking up achy and light-headed with flu/cold symptoms, and having it stick for three days I was scrambling around the internet trying to find something to kill the virus off (whatever it was) so that I could go back to work. First I tried the cayenne pepper for my sore throat - miraculous, went away immediately and as of today (day 6) has not come back. I've been taking the ACV once a day and do feel better but I'm not sure if the virus is just running its course or whether the ACV is helping. Then I tried peroxide in the ears - quite uncomfortable but my body aches were gone by the next morning and haven't returned. So I'd give a thumbs up to the peroxide and cayenne for sure.

After only one coffee cup filled with water and cayenne pepper, my sore throat pain had decreased by 25-40%. I'm gonna try again in the morning, but for now, it's back to bed. I stumbled upon this remedy at 3:30 AM, after waking up due to severe pain. Now I can actually get back to bed! Thanks, Penny!

I WILL LET YOU ALL KNOW SHORTLY. I'VE HAD A TEAR-JERKING, EXCRUTIATINGLY PAINFUL SEVERE SORE THROAT. NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I HAD SUCH PHYSICAL PAIN BEFORE INCLUDING KIDNEY STONES AND CHILDBIRTH! I HAVE PACKED MY NECK IN ICE ONE MINUTE, AND HOT THE NEXT...NOTHING WORKS. I'M TRYING THE CAYENNE RIGHT NOW! PLEASE DEAR GOD LET IT WORK FOR ME BEFORE I KILL MYSELF TO END THIS PAIN.

A minute later, she writes again: "CAYENNE PEPPER. OKAY,I JUST TRIED IT AND GARGLED MAYBE 3 TIMES IN A ROW. BURNED LIKE THE DICKENS, MAYBE I PUT TOO MUCH CAYENNE, BUT STRANGELY ENOUGH, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN DAYS, MY THROAT FEELS A BIT BETTER. I AM GOING TO CONTINUE THIS THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT BECAUSE I ACTUALLY THINK THERE'S AN END TO THIS PAIN. THANK GOD FOR MY COMPUTER AND FOR YOU PEOPLE WITH THIS IDEA! THANKS SO MUCH AGAIN! I DON'T HAVE INSURANCE AND REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO GO TO THE ER, BUT WAS SERIOUSLY THINKING ABOUT IT TO MAKE IT STOP. LOVE YA ALL

jeeze this is awesome. I'm in a musical and have been sick since the first performance but i used this stuff today and by golly gee it worked!!!! My sinuses i thought were normal though and this stuff has opened them up also. I have a performance tonight and it hasn't helped my voice yet (which i heard it does help) but at least tonight ill be able to sing without my throat hurting. this works miracles..........use it it is the savior of sore throats!!

Having had throat problems for 20 years, comprising of pain, tickly cough, sticky mucus, I have tried almost everything with little success. I then tried cayenne gargle, with a little salt. The result is fantastic, almost immediately, my throat was back to normal, no mucus or pain. I now use a gargle mix of cayenne, apple cider vinegar, salt & honey twice daily. I also take cayenne with food. Generally feel very well and am very happy to have got rid of throat problems. I have been doing this regime for 2 weeks now.

To start, I have tried the cayenne pepper for a sore throat and found it did work but only after using it basically all day. It does burn the mouth a bit to. All in all it did work.

I tried the Cayenne Pepper remedy yesterday, i was getting very tired from lack of sleep, pain killers were not helping. I thought i'd try, it would take a week to get a docs appoinment and for a sore throat!! Off to the shops i went and came back with Cayenne Poweder and some honey. I must have gargled 8 times yesterday, i didn't really feel much at first but i had read a comment saying stick with it. It was like gargling spicy soup. The last time last night it did feel slightly better and i had a good sleep. 3 times today i have gargled and the nagging pain is getting better. I had a bad ache down the side of my neck from my ear which has gone and i still have a slight sore throat, but its on its way out! I am pleased and will keep a pack of powder for future bad throats, i'm glad it helped. I used a good 1/4 teaspoon of powder and good squeese of honey. A couple of times with lemon juice. Warm water and swollowed a little bit as people have been saying but gargled the rest. My advice, give it a go and keep doing it, stick with it for 2 days and it'll help!

I just learned why I have been craving garlic, hot peppers, vinegar (ketchup), all my life. I have been a very healthy person, only getting sick for a day or two a year and have a bad diet/sweet tooth. Today when I got hungry after two days of not eating much I was craving a carls jr buffalow burger(cayenne) and a shake...I felt so good after it for about 2 hours then it got bad again. It was so bad I could not sleep and I feared for my throat to start bleeding, found your site, only thing I had was Frank's Red Hot (chili sauce) so I mixed it with water and now I think I am going to make it through the night as it feels 80% better after three gargles. Thank you, I plan picking up some of the other stuff to try too. Time for sleep

WOW. gotta say i didn't believe the whole Cayenne Powder thing at first, but it's great. after about 5 minutes of doing it, i already feel better. my lips burn...but that's so much better than my throat!!!! thank you so much!
