Iodine to cure sore throat- It didn't work for me! I was so surprised and a little skeptical because so many were saying all you do is rub some iodine on your wrists and neck. I've had a sore throat for 4 days now and I tried it in desperation, but nothing happened. I have a big presentation tomorrow and all I have to show for my herbal remedy to cure my excurciatingly sore throat are yellow neck and wrists! Maybe I did it wrong, but gargling 1 tsp of the Apple Cider Vinegar in a glass of warm water worked better for me!!

I believe it only works at the first signs of infections, is that correct? Also, whats the dosing? how often can you do this and with how much iodine? how much is too much?

Greetings gb,

Some of these sore throats infections come on rather quickly as during COVID. For me, It only takes minutes for the iodine painting to chase a sore throat once applied to that area.

If the iodine painting does not work in minutes, I run for the garlic. It is often a sure hit. A couple of chews on one clove of garlic, or at least a few chops with the knife, and down the hatch.

I always have a nice cold glass of water ready to keep it moving in the right path. Sometimes I simply make the lemon garlic tea that people often talk about on EarthClinic. So if the iodine is slow, toss in the garlic.
