Sore throat. Honey and vinegar for a sore throat

Submitted by Dale

To soothe a sore throat, mix equal parts honey and vinegar together, the honey soothes and eases the pain, and the vinegar is a natural antiseptic. I usually use, apple cider vinegar as it tastes a little better, but any vinegar should do.

It's working for me! Comments By: RSA I heated mine a bit. I'm still drinking it right now, but not only does my throat feel better already, it is also opening up my sinuses!   Lemonade makes it better Comments By: Joyce Oh, how soothing this drink is to my throat and sinus area...I am so thankful for the tip of heating it up...I had some lemonade and I added some to it and heated it all up! Delish!   It seems to be working Comments By: Kate This was so painful when I first did it but it really seems to be easing the pain. I actually used equal parts vinegar, honey and hot water. Gargled half and spat it out then drank the rest. Hurt like heck first but seems to be easing it!   Seems to be working... Comments By: Robin I tried it a few minutes ago. Can tell the acidity is kind of upsetting my stomach, no biggie though. Just be careful not to inhale too much while drinking, the acidity will burn your nose. I keep noticing more and more of a difference!   Pretty good. Comments By: anon I added sonme warm water and a little ginger.... Its definetly doing its job   narrow glass to prevent inhaling Comments By: kim hill Warm water, honey and cider vinegar. I used it in a wide brimmed glass but then got the 'bouquet' of the vinegar, which is offputting. Use a narrow glass and that should not happen. Very soothing!
