A glass of water, 2 teaspoons of honey, 2 soups spoons ACV, splash of some old throat comfort tea I had by my bed side.
Haven't been able to sleep properly all night because my throat is killing. Burning pain when I swallow is so bad, I couldn't get anything down there. Also pregnant so worried about taking anything at all at 5:00 am in the morning.
Looking up solution for relief, found the site and started with the cayenne pepper tip. I have used natural remedies before for throat. Salt water gargles, which I did before I went to sleep, honey and lemon which is good and tastes great, but no lemon at home. I have done fasts with cayenne so I know what its like, it has all my respect. Can't say was so impressed about the effect after several gargles but the ACV, waoo not bad at all.... I have been sipping on special brew for past half hour and have been able to drink water with out a grimace. Surprisingly feels food on my stomach too. Will keep in mind as acne skin tonic. Thank You!
