Soothe Your Sore Throat Naturally with Cayenne Pepper

Thanks for the cayenne pepper tip for healing a sore throat. Mom told me salt water-- i found your information, tried the cayenne cause it seemed fitting... and in about an hour of doing it, and repeating, it soothed my throat, and I starting coughing up the bacteria... this is a good one, really. Folks need to go beyond salt on this. Last night I did chew whole garlic cloves which was really harsh on my throat. But the red pepper seems to be doing the trick. Thanks.

i had some hard time swallowing for about two days now. specially in the morning as i wake up and try to swallow it always feel like there's something stuck in my throat and it would hurt really bad. some times its gone sometimes its there. i try to eat some candies that suppose to ease up the pain in your throat, it would work for a while, then gone as soon as you finish your candy. so i looked for help here on your website and saw cayenne pepper with H2O and just gargle it for as long as you can stand it. so i heated about a 2 cups of water and added about half a teaspoon of cayenne pepper powder. gargled it till i can stand it. the first time it was ok till i spat out. then i felt the burning sensation inside my mouth and it made my nose run. then i did it again and it would just really burn. but it just feels like i accidently ate one of those mexican food. right away i took some ice and just sip and bite and ate that ice like candy and washed my whole mouth with cold water. as soon as i finished i tried to swallow and it didnt hurt anymore. i was just left with the burning. but after 5 mins the burning was gone and the throat didnt hurt anymore. thank you for everyones feedback.

I could feel the tingling in my throat this morning and knew it was the beginning stages for a full-on sore throat. Well I wanted to nip it in the bud as soon as I could so I came across this site. On my lunch break I went home and gargled with cayenne pepper in warm water (5 shakes!) and also painted iodine on my inner wrists. I thought both would never work. Well its now 2 hours later and I feel 90 percent better. I won't say 100% because that would be a lie... but it most certainly did help!!! I will always do these remedies from now on. Thanks much.

Cayenne Pepper (remedy): This remedy is incredible and works a treat. I didn't believe it would work but it does. I had killer man flu (the worst kind) with a sore throat that felt like swallowing broken glass. I tried all remedies from the pharmacy but none of them worked longer than a couple of minutes at most. The cayenne pepper worked almost immediately however. Try it - it works!!

This morning I awoke to the worst sore throat I've ever had. I tried your Cayenne pepper recipe and I can already swallow. It's only been fifteen minutes. My throat is still a little sore so I will do another rinse soon but I can't believe how much better it feels already. I always drink a glass of water in the morning and it hurt to much to do it earlier but I am doing it now (there is only a little burning in my mouth from the pepper but it is not bad) Thank you for your help and I truly appreciate this site.

the cayenne powder remedy for sore throats works like magic. i was reluctant at first, hearing from a lot of my friends that it couldnt possibly work, because if it did then everyone who gets sore throats would know about it. my sister even laughed at me for even suggesting it. now when i get sore throats i get the kind where i cant even talk without feeling great amounts of pain, but here i am 5 minutes after rinsing and the pain is 1/10 what it was before i tried it.

Ok, so I'm goin to sound like the rest of you, lol. Anyhow I have felt like crap all day and decided to look up some info on how to fix or even get rid of my sore throat quick like. I'm goin home for a week during the 4th of July and I don't want to be sick when I get there. So I tried the Cayenne Pepper and needless to say I'm impressed! It hasn't taken it away but it has made it feel ten times better than it did. I will do this again before bed and then when I wake in the mornin. I honestly don't believe in things like this but it really does work :)

I GARGLED WITH CAYENNE POWDER, TASTED BAD AND KINDA BURNED, BUT FELT A LITTLE RELIEF ALMOST RIGHT AFTER. NOT SURE IF IT REALLY HELPED OR IS IT ALL MENTAL, EITHER WAY I FEEL A LITTLE BETTER.

Cayenne Pepper was surprisingly successful! I have had a terrible soar throat for days. I, like everyone else got online to look up some type of relief. this one works a hundred times better then just the salt alone. The way that worked best for me was to make it fairly concentrated with pepper. After I gargled just a bit I then laid down on the floor and let the hot water and cayenne pepper sit in the back of my throat for a couple of minutes, turning my head from side to side every once in awhile. After getting all of the pepper out. There was a little discomfort for a few minutes. But my soar throat got knocked down to about fifty percent of how much it was hurting. WELL WORTH IT!!!

This remedy is amazing. This remedy (cayenne pepper and water, gargle it and swallow a tiny bit) is the best sore throat cure I've ever found. I woke up last night with a terrible pain in my throat and couldn't swallow. I gargled with this mixture for about 15 minutes and went back to bed. I didn't feel amazing at first, but at least I was feeling a little better and was able to go to sleep. I woke up 8 hours and my throat felt basically totally cured. I am truly amazed, thanks so much for sharing such a great cure! Also, a few weeks ago in the same situation I tried the apple cider vinegar/cayenne pepper/water/honey remedy and found it worked decently but not as good as the cayenne pepper/water remedy. Thanks for the amazing help!

SORETHROAT, well I had a sorethroat for two full weeks, on amoxacillan anti's and nothing, after one application I could feel the affects of the cayenne pepper, the next morning completly gone, I mean like a miracle as I tried everything, honey, lemon, tea, salt water, peroxide--you name it. I made a simple solution of 1 tablesppon of pepper ( cayenne ) one tbl spook of salt, mixed together in hot/warm water and gargled, maybe about 5 or 6 times, every 30 mins or so, and presto gone. I had to write in as all the medication and antobotics in the world did nothing but this worked! amazing.

7/26/07 I attended a night pool party last Thursday and the next day I woke up with a sore throat and a temperature of 99.5. I used my old stand by Listerine but the next day the pain was still there. I tried different rhemedies for three days with no success. Then I found your website and tried 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne powder in 1/2 glass of warm water every 30 minutes. When I went to bed I still had pain but when I awoke in the morning it was like I had a new throat. Cayenne Pepper cured my sore throat. No pain and no temperature, thanks.

Cayenne Pepper unreal natural help. Thank you everyone for your posts to this website so I signed up so I could say "it really works". I was scared to death to try it because I dont like hot-stuff like spices. But, MAN is this stuff loosening me up! Wow. Just did the gargle about 10 minutes ago and it is absolutely a blessing from God that all that stuff that is bogged up in my nose and under my eyes and my throat is clearing up and "moving". Thank you to each and everyone that responded with their feedback because I had my boss pick me up the pepper at lunch. Thanks so much & God bless!

Worked great!!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!! I could kiss you! My throat had been sore for a month and I tried everything from listerine to peroxide, lemon & honey, halls, you name it I tried it. After gargling with the cayenne pepper my throat felt better within an hour and several hours later my sore throat was completely gone! Thanks a bunch, you just saved me a trip to the doctor which I really couldn't afford since I don't have health insurance.

I was sitting at work suffering from an awful sore throat that appeared three days ago and has only gotten worse when I stumbled upon this site and its various recommendations for sore throat remedies. I couldn't leave work, so I asked around if anyone had cayenne pepper. My boss handed me a little container of crushed red pepper flakes, which I threw in a cup of hot water and gargled. I have a high tolerance for spice, so I actually enjoyed the burn, but I could also feel it working fairly quickly. Swallowing hurts a lot less just a half-hour later!
