Mixed about a tablespoon of honey with about one teaspoon of cayenne. Added a few drops of water to thin it just slightly. Ate the mixture off the spoon, letting it set on the back of my throat and hang there a bit. It only burned slightly for about one minute, then my throat felt better than it had for days!
Within twenty minutes, my clogged sinuses were dripping clear liquid instead of heavy mucus (the source of the laryngitis, I am sure) and I can speak! Still a little hoarse, but I don't have that feeling a a big lump in my throat!
I looked at my throat in a mirror before and after taking the mixture. BIG difference. And I am not having to clear my throat or coughing like I had been. That made it worse.
This is AMAZING.

After reading the recommended notes on Earth Clinic (EXCELLENT site, by the way!) on laryngitis, I poured 2 Tb of apple cider vinegar into a glass, added 8 oz of hot tap water, along with 1/2 tsp of cayenne. I gargled with this before bed, and again, the same in the morning.
I was teaching Wednesday morning for 4 hours, and had to be able to speak. I was desperate, and was encouraged by the stringy stuff that I was able to spit out while gargling. Yes, my chapped lips burned a bit and my nose ran, but nothing too terrible to handle.
The next morning I again used the same solution, and was encouraged that I could occasionally speak over a whisper. I was able to get through my teaching with the aid of a microphone, half whispering and half croaking out the notes.
I gargled 2 more times on Wednesday. After the overuse during the morning, I was back to whispering Wednesday night, but a bit louder. This morning (Thursday) I was able to speak for another 4 hours, with a croaky voice, but did not need the microphone. I've gargled again since coming home, and right now just have a husky voice (a la Kathleen Turner). I plan on gargling again tonight and the next day or two until my voice is well recovered.
Thank you, thank you, Earth Clinic and contributors! I CAN'T thank you all enough! This was a VERY important seminar that I taught this week, and the ACV and cayenne mixture revived my voice, and saved my seminar!
