I would just like to thank Matt from Paxton. I haven't been able to swallow in 3 days, not even my saliva. Sounds nasty but true. My throat hurt so bad I was ready to try anything to get some relief. I tried his remedy for a sore throat and I can tell with my first cup of tea my throat is feeling better. I used 1 cup hot water, 1 Earl Grey tea bag, 2 teaspoons of suger and 2 tablespoons of ACV, just like he recommened. It was rather tasty too. If you want to get rid of your soar throat and want to do it tastfully, try this remedy. Imagine when you are drinking this, that it is an herbal tea with a punch. Compared to some of the over the counter hot drink medicines, this remedy taste so much better and the price is a steal.

WOW This really does work. I have been sick for a week and my throat felt like there were rocks in there every time I swallowed. I tried honey and tea, Sore throat spray and cough drops, but after the first 3 sips of the ACV in warm water with honey It felt better. I'm a believer. Thanks for this valuable info.

ACV for sore throat in a 3 year old
my 3 year old (who has a cold) woke up in the middle of the night complaining of a sore throat, i immediately gave her apple cider vinegar w/ a little bit of raw honey and a couple pinches of turmeric. i gave her 3-4 teaspoons of this concoction and she said it went away and went back to sleep. when she woke this morning she said her sore throat was still gone!

WOW! Didnt believe that ACV thing would work! Nothing personal...I'm just a cynic by experience but honestly must say that I have just finished my first round of "sipping" and the ACV and H20 for acute sore throat has already greatly relieved the pain, unclogged my ears, and I can actually feel my nasal passage opening! I've tried at least 5 different OTC products and all I felt was dehydrated and light-headed. My throat hurt so bad that everytime I coughed a it felt like a tree the size of my fist was trying to emerge from my stomach! AND NOW...100 percent improvement from even an hour ago!
I am super grateful! I may even try to eat something later!

I had Sore throat, congestion in my nose and cough. I use to gargle with salt water for my sore throat and didn't work as well as. The last time I had sore throat, I tried HALLS cough drops and that worked really well. Now, they don't work on me anyone. I don't know why. So I tried the APPLE CIDER VINEGAR, it worked well on my sore throat and did clear my nose, but its not working on my cough as well. I hate the taste. I'm happy with the result.

I mixed 3 Tblspns of ACV and 3 Tblspns of Honey with 1 cup of warm water. After just few sips, I could feel the difference in my sore throat. It was completely gone by the time I had finished the entire glass.

Wow! It works! I drank ACV last night. I used 1 cup of hot water mixed with 3 table spoons of ACV and 3 table spoons of honey. My sore throat is gone. I didn't see the revised ACV recipe (16oz water with 2 tablespoons of ACV). But I will ask my husband to try that. He has been coughing for 2 weeks. Cold medicines only helped with sinus problem but coughing is still pretty frequent.
EC: Actually, for acute conditions like coughs and sore throats, the usual dosage of ACV (2 TBS to 8 oz of water) will probably work better. The revised amount (2 TSP in 16 Oz of water) is good for daily maintenance, pH balancing and anti-aging.

Apple Cider Vinegar cured my Sore Throat in a day. I gargled Apple Cider Vinegar about 6 times a day, and also drank 3 tablespoons of it in water twice a day. It really does work. I wasn't sure it was going to work, but decided to give it a try. My sore throat was much better each time I took it, and gone the next day!
Highly recommended!

I have had a sore throat on and off for 2 weeks. I got the usual for my doctor, antibiotic and decongestant. Three days ago I was back in as it had come back worse than before. All he did was change the antibiotic and told me to continue to use a salt water gargle. I have hardly slept since as my throat was so sore even to swallow. I happened to come across this web site early this morning and tried the ACV and honey in warm water treatment.
It worked GREAT! I used 3TBS of ACV and 3TBS of organic honey in exactly 1 cup warm water. I was nervous at first as I have GERD and IBS but it went down with no problem. My proof is in my current condition: throat pain is virtually gone and I have coughed up more crud than in the past week of taking muciinexD!!!!

I had a very severe sore throat. I tried the ACV with honey & garlic and it helped a great deal. I added lemon juice to the mixture for good measure. Also when, I had "the runs", I used Tumeric and it was almost working immediately. So this is a YEA for home remedies.

I tried the 3tbs ACV and 3 tbs honey in a mug of warm water, and let me tell you, I almost threw-up the mixture, but once I had downed it all, my throat felt 100 times better, Thanks!

I love eating spinach and vinegar anyway so when I saw it was a cure for my sore throat I was thrilled and it worked. Thanks so much.

I've had a sore throat for a couple days now. It was so bad that I couldn't eat sleep or swallow comfortably. I took today off work in hope of getting better for a planned weekend hiking in the Assiniboine area. I really didn't want to cancel the trip so I looked for remedies on the net. I found this site and gave the ACV a shot. I've just drank a mug of the stuff and it is noticeably better. I think I might be in good shape for tomorrow! Thanks for all the comments!

I am so grateful for this home remedy website and forum! My daughter has Mono and over the last 2 days has had an unbearably sore thoat. We tried everything (salt water gargle, steriod solution gargle, advil, codiene...) and nothing was working. She couldn't even swallow her saliva. It was preventing her from sleeping, and when you have mono, thats all you want to do. I happened upon this website and she gave it a shot. Using the 3 tablespoons of ACV and Honey in warm water was not particularly appetizing, but after drinking it, she was able to sleep 4 hours and now says that her throat is so much better. I am now a believer in home remedies!
