Soothe a sore throat with vinegar

Believe it or not vinegar can ease the pain. Any type will do but wine vinegar or cider vinegar may taste better. Put a teaspoon of vinegar in a glass of water. Gargle, then swallow. Do this 3 times a day until things are on the mend.<

I did it every hour.   Vinegar works!! Comments By: Sandy I tried white vinegar plain! It burned a little but I let it soak at the back of my throat with my head tilted back. I thought I was gonna die... (not literally). I repeated it about an hour later and the next morning, most of the soreness was gone. The vinegar helped a LOT! My mother was the one who advised me to use it. She said she used it deveral times before and usually by the next morning, she fet better. I know I did too.   Vinegar works!!

She said she used it several times before and usually by the next morning, she felt better. I know I did too.   Also try this! Comments By: Amber Another thing that works is to mix a spoonful of cayenne powder, a bit of honey and a bit of vinegar. Warm up a bit, put mixture in shotglass and chug! It will make your throat burn really bad for a few seconds, you may burp really loud for the next few minutes, but your throat will feel better almost immediately, because the cayenne powder will renew the coating around your throat. Just be sure to have some cold water handy for after you chug it! Happy mending!   dont work just makes the throat more sore Comments By: Marsha Hayes it hurt my throat and made it worse not better   Thotha Smoker Comments By: John Smithson That didnt work!!   Works every time Comments By: Anon I have done this so many times with a sore throat. The thing is to remember to do it at the start of a soar throat and it works faster, if you wait then it takes more applications to cure but most of the time it is gone by the next day.   Not a cure, a bandage...but a good one. Comments By: Amanda The vinegar will help tremendously on a sore throat. However, it will only help in curing a sore throat if the infection is bacterial. If it is a viral infection, the vinegar will not help in curing it. Only a health care professional should determine which on it is. But, until you can see a doctor. This will work fine. But, please have a doctor in mind if you see no progress.   wonderful Comments By: max this worked great! the "version" of the recipe I used was 2tbsp apple cider vinegar about 1 to 2 cups steaming water 2tbsp honey (adjust for your sweet tooth) I gargled the drink then swallowed. apple cider vinegar is also used to clean out your system so if your just overall buggy, try this!
