Hydrogen Peroxide for Strep Throat

Hydrogen peroxide can be used as a natural gargle for strep throat. Use only 3% hydrogen peroxide. The brown bottle of hydrogen peroxide from your local pharmacy or grocery store is generally 3%. Hydrogen peroxide fights bacteria on contact. Gargle, but do not swallow, 3% hydrogen peroxide every 2 waking hours.

Do not use food grade hydrogen peroxide as your gargle. If you should get your ratios wrong when diluting it (because food grade hydrogen peroxide must be diluted) you could cause serious injury to your throat.
