Cayenne pepper cured my sore throat! I have been sick for three weeks now. It start as something viral and led into a sinus infection. Just when I thought the worst was over I woke up with a sore throat that felt like razor blades when I spoke or swallowed. I also had sores which is why I was little scared. I didn't have cayenne but had a mexican bottled hot sauce.Its made from chile arbol. I put a couple drops (1 tsp) in a cup of warm water and gargled six times. just tried it 30 min ago and its working well. The sore that felt like a ball already seems smaller. Go for it and adjust the heat to what you can stand.

I used the Cheyenne Pepper for a SEVERE sore throat that kept me up all night long until 3:50AM! I took amoxicillin that I had in my medicine cabinet, halls drops, warm soup, NOTHING HELPED. I even resorted to eating a chain of ice pops just to get some relieve, but it was a no go. I then decided to rush to the emergency room as soon I saw the sun, but then I googled "Sore Throat Cures" and came to this site. I browsed through the testimonials, skeptically, all the while rubbing my ENFLAMED throat...Finally, in desperation, I thought: "Let me try it! I have nothing to lose and possibly everything to gain.

So I took a half a glass of the hottest water I could stand, emptied a little more than half a capsule of Cheyenne into it, added honey, about 2 teaspoons of lemon juice (These were all grocery bought items I had lying around...)and gargled with it and I repeated the gargling 4 more times throughout the night. (even though the first shot was enough to be satisfied, I wanted to make sure it would STAY gone!) It was AMAZING! I instantly took away my sore throat, and now I can even swallow without feeling like sandpaper is going down with my saliva! Anyone who's the least bit skeptical, don't hesitate PLEASE! It REALLY works!

Well, I have been a sports player for quite a while, so pain is kinda nutural for me. (As they say no pain, no gain.) Well the one pain I can't stand is a sore throat! (Sad I know.) So as I was Google searching sore throat remedy's, I came across this site. I saw a lot of people say "cayenne and water", so I decided to try it. What I did was take a little under 1/8 of a TEASPOON of cayenne pepper and 1/2 a cip of warm water. Just mix that together and gargul. I thought to myself "This is going to burn like CRAZY!!" But amazingly enough it helped more than it burned!!! The only thing is your tounge feels a litle funky after you do it. Other than that, I would just like to say thank you to the people who posted it on this website!!

What an amazing cure. Last night, i was ready to cut out my throat. It felt like i was swallowing razor blades. I came upon your site, and upped the cayenne quite a bit (i can handle the heat) with lots of honey, lemon juice, and hot water. It tasted horrible, (not enough honey i suspect) but right away my throat felt better.

OH MY GOODNESS. This remedy is CRAZY! it really does work! I looked up sore throat cures on google, and it took me here. I was very skeptic, and trust me, the Cayenne powder looks gross in water, but I made myself do it because my throat felt so awful. I started about 35 minutes ago, and it already feels better. Yes, it does sting - I put on lip balm before doing it, and it helped. But really, it even relieved my cough some!! seriously, just try it. what can you lose?

wow... I grew up in Louisiana, always got cayenne in the house, and have never tried this remedy. Tonight, I felt a sore throat coming on, and have no access to antibiotics right now... so I figured I would try it. Not a stranger to things spicy, I diluted 1/8 teaspoon in cambells tomato soup. and had a small bowl... my throat feels better, and it is a wonderful taste!! try this if you cant manage to kill your tea with it... cause I like my tea sweet. my soup, spicy!!

cayenne powder. This was the most incredible cure for sore throat I was amazed. I just wanted to say thanks and just to let you know I made a 20sec video about it and posted it on the internet spreading the news. I got my best results at 1/4 tsp but I mention in the video to start at 1/8 tsp. This is the link below: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1015957/sore_throat_cure/ Thanks again! Robert

I am NOT a lover of "spicy" anything. I was scared to try the cayenne cure. I had a sore throat and was on day 4 when I decided to do a search online. Thank God for this website. With encouragement from my husband (who loves spicy foods) I decided to try it. I made the tea and only used half the amount called for of the cayenne. IT WORKED! But not right away...it took gargling with the same amount in warm water for a few hours to help the soreness go away. Here I am just the next morning and feeling worlds better. My sore throat is basically gone! This is one wonderful cure. Give it a try. Well worth it.

I have felt like garbage for several days, with sore throat, swollen tonsils, and general aches and pains. Yesterday I couldn't take it anymore and decided to fight this thing. I have used jalapenos in the past, so I opened a fresh jar, dumped some in my blender, and after processing, just warmed some tortilla chips in the oven and started dipping. That gave me some more energy, where I was able to move around and didn't want to sleep all of the time, but it didn't help the sore throat.

This morning while I had more energy, I could barely swallow, my tonsils were so swollen! Looking inside my mouth I could see sores on the back of my throat. It's New Year's, so everything but emergency rooms are closed, so I hopped on the Web and found this site, and tried the cayenne gargle.

I heated the water to boiling in my kettle, mixed in the pepper powder, and let it cool to temperature, hoping it would help to extract the properties better. Then I gargled. It was rather warm in my mouth, and I could really tell when it hit one of the sores, but I didn't rinse my mouth afterward, instead taking a drink of tea with a drop of tabasco sauce in it, hoping to get some of the benefits further down my throat. After piddling around my house for a few minutes, I stopped in shock: my tonsil swelling had diminished! I am not kidding! It doesn't hurt to swallow as bad, and the tonsils are no longer swelled to the point where it is obvious on my neck! It is still early in the treatment, and of course the sores are still in my throat, and my tonsils still have a bit of swelling, but I am amazed at the sudden initial drop! I am going to continue to use this gargle a couple of times an hour for a couple days, but at least now I feel better to where I can run to the store and grab some more chips and jalapenos. Perhaps between the two I'll knock this thing without paying a stupid quack...

After suffering for almost 8 days and not eating for three 'cos of badly hurting sore throat I came across this sit, saw this remedy. I was not ready to believe it, how something like hot chilly powder can cure a throat. I was apprehensive but desperate and I decided to give it a try knowing it will worsen my condition, not telling anyone for the fear of people calling me an idiot. First time reaction 'am I really feeling a bit different. Still I kept at it for a few more times ( I am bit on the adventures side, like experimenting with myself and off-course desperate in need of relief ).Next morning I was positive I was feeling a bit better. It didn't go away took almost three days to finally cure me. It worked, why, how I still don't know a coincidence may be but how it can be that it gradually worked after every treatment. It is still very hard to believe but thank god I tried it and IT WORKED.

After 2 weeks of the worse sore throat I made a Dr appointment but could not get in till the next afternoon. So in desperation I searched the net and found this site. Off to the shop and brought the cayenne pepper and mixed 1/2 tsp in a glass of water and within 20 minutes I had some relief. I did this a few time till I was able to go to sleep. I started to gargle with 1/8 tsp the next day every 30 minutes. By the time I arrived at the doctors it was so much better I told her I did not need the medication. Thank you Delia in Australia

I'm finally on my way to some much needed sleep after 4 days but first I had to say THANK YOU! A little background: I've been sick for 5 days with a horrible sore throat, chills, fever, body aches etc. Doctor said it's sinus infection turned bacterial and gave me antibiotics. After 36 hours on the meds and no relief, the sore throat was only getting worse. Hot honey tea wasn't even helping me. I haven't eaten in 5 days - not ANYTHING. Just fluids because of my sore throat and even swallowing tea or water was starting to kill me. I've never tried a 'natural remedy' before in my life having grown up in a medical family where antibiotics were always the cure. Even though I do well with spicy food, I decided to try the honey/lemon/cayenne trick. It didn't taste bad at all. I probably even used less than 1/8 tsp because I'm scared. The first time didn't offer me too much relief. I tried it a few hours later and right after, I was bummed because again no relief. After 15 minutes of looking at your site to see what I've done wrong, I realize that my throat can swallow again!!! This is fantastic. I'm going to continue this for a few days and tell everyone I know about earthclinic.com (Including my doctor who is actually very much a lover of home remedies) Thank you so much to all the people who gave detailed information. I will continue the antibiotics to hopefully rid the fever and infection but this is a huge step for me! I can't wait to sleep and eat tomorrow!

I woke up this morning with an unbearable sore throat. I have tried evrything under the sun including salt water, but nothing has lessened the pain. I went out and picked up some cayenne pepper. I've been gargling every 15 min with 1/2 tsp in a 1/2 cup warm water. This has definitely made it easier to swallow and it's only been 45 min! I'm also not a fan of spicy foods, but after gargling, I recommend rinsing your mouth with cold water. This will take away the burning sensation quickly.

It's 3am here, and I was seriously thinking about going to the ER to see if they could help me with the pain of my sore throat.. (This is the worst sore throat I've ever had) Then I did a search on google and found this. Lucky for me, I had the Cayenne pepper in my spices. I used it once so far, and I already feel less pain. I'm going to use it every 30 mins til I can fall asleep. Thank you so much! I had never heard of this before, and the salt water wasn't helping one bit.
