Gargling with Cayenne Pepper helped my sore throat immensely. I put together James from Georgia's concoction to further help my throat and and never in my life have I been more afraid to drink something. It does taste like I am drinking the wing sauce straight but it has rid me of much phlegm and aided my sore throat. My throat still burned a bit but once it went away so did most of the pain in my throat as well as some congestion.

I tried 1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper with 1/2 cup warm water gargled and spit six times. The next day my sour throat was almost gone. I didn't even have repeat this again. After one morning it felt good enough to stop. However, I recommend to continue until the pain is completely eliminated. THANKS FOR THIS CURE. ITS AMAZING!!

I had a bad sore throat (which is not something I typically get) for about a week so headed off to the doctor to ensure it wasn't strep. It wasn't and I was told to wait it out. I had to find another option and came across your website and the Cayenne Pepper gurgle. I like Cayenne so it wasn't a stretch. I did 2 Gargles the first night and then maybe 2 times a day as needed for the next 2 days and my sore throat was gone! It did take a 2-3 days to completely work but it did! Amazing - I'm telling everyone I know about this!

Thank you SO much. I used the cayenne pepper mix and within 30 minutes my throat stopped hurting and I could eat. Is there any way I can donate to your website? If it weren't for this site, I would've had to tough it out!

I was sitting at work suffering from an awful sore throat that appeared three days ago and has only gotten worse when I stumbled upon this site and its various recommendations for sore throat remedies. I couldn't leave work, so I asked around if anyone had cayenne pepper. My boss handed me a little container of crushed red pepper flakes, which I threw in a cup of hot water and gargled. I have a high tolerance for spice, so I actually enjoyed the burn, but I could also feel it working fairly quickly. Swallowing hurts a lot less just a half-hour later!

Worked great!!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!! I could kiss you! My throat had been sore for a month and I tried everything from listerine to peroxide, lemon & honey, halls, you name it I tried it. After gargling with the cayenne pepper my throat felt better within an hour and several hours later my sore throat was completely gone! Thanks a bunch, you just saved me a trip to the doctor which I really couldn't afford since I don't have health insurance.

Cayenne Pepper unreal natural help. Thank you everyone for your posts to this website so I signed up so I could say "it really works". I was scared to death to try it because I dont like hot-stuff like spices. But, MAN is this stuff loosening me up! Wow. Just did the gargle about 10 minutes ago and it is absolutely a blessing from God that all that stuff that is bogged up in my nose and under my eyes and my throat is clearing up and "moving". Thank you to each and everyone that responded with their feedback because I had my boss pick me up the pepper at lunch. Thanks so much & God bless!

7/26/07 I attended a night pool party last Thursday and the next day I woke up with a sore throat and a temperature of 99.5. I used my old stand by Listerine but the next day the pain was still there. I tried different rhemedies for three days with no success. Then I found your website and tried 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne powder in 1/2 glass of warm water every 30 minutes. When I went to bed I still had pain but when I awoke in the morning it was like I had a new throat. Cayenne Pepper cured my sore throat. No pain and no temperature, thanks.

So I've been having a sore throat for the last 6 days. Today saw a doctor and she prescribed Zithromax 5 day treatment. We'll see. However, the pain I have in my throat is terrible and I can't swallow. 3 advils do not help. So I came here and found the Cayenne Pepper Water gargle thing. I went, took 1 teaspoon into 1/2 cup warmish water. the first few gargles went well.. Im used to spicy food so the tongue thing didn't worry me. But my throat pain is deeper than the gargle hits. So the last round I let some of the solution drop deeper into my throat. When it came into contact with whatever is irritated, my entire head caught fire. I had extraordinary pain from my throat through my ears and I was tearing and shaking uncontrollably, gripping my sink with both hands....I howled from the pain. it took a good 5 minutes and deep breathing to calm down. Basically, I maced myself it seems. This did nothing for the pain in my throat either, only, it showed me that the infection does in fact radiate to my ears. Now I will wait for the antibiotic to kick in I think. Im still shaken up by it but I think I'll survive.

SORETHROAT, well I had a sorethroat for two full weeks, on amoxacillan anti's and nothing, after one application I could feel the affects of the cayenne pepper, the next morning completly gone, I mean like a miracle as I tried everything, honey, lemon, tea, salt water, peroxide--you name it. I made a simple solution of 1 tablesppon of pepper ( cayenne ) one tbl spook of salt, mixed together in hot/warm water and gargled, maybe about 5 or 6 times, every 30 mins or so, and presto gone. I had to write in as all the medication and antobotics in the world did nothing but this worked! amazing.

This remedy is amazing. This remedy (cayenne pepper and water, gargle it and swallow a tiny bit) is the best sore throat cure I've ever found. I woke up last night with a terrible pain in my throat and couldn't swallow. I gargled with this mixture for about 15 minutes and went back to bed. I didn't feel amazing at first, but at least I was feeling a little better and was able to go to sleep. I woke up 8 hours and my throat felt basically totally cured. I am truly amazed, thanks so much for sharing such a great cure! Also, a few weeks ago in the same situation I tried the apple cider vinegar/cayenne pepper/water/honey remedy and found it worked decently but not as good as the cayenne pepper/water remedy. Thanks for the amazing help!

Cayenne Pepper was surprisingly successful! I have had a terrible soar throat for days. I, like everyone else got online to look up some type of relief. this one works a hundred times better then just the salt alone. The way that worked best for me was to make it fairly concentrated with pepper. After I gargled just a bit I then laid down on the floor and let the hot water and cayenne pepper sit in the back of my throat for a couple of minutes, turning my head from side to side every once in awhile. After getting all of the pepper out. There was a little discomfort for a few minutes. But my soar throat got knocked down to about fifty percent of how much it was hurting. WELL WORTH IT!!!

I GARGLED WITH CAYENNE POWDER, TASTED BAD AND KINDA BURNED, BUT FELT A LITTLE RELIEF ALMOST RIGHT AFTER. NOT SURE IF IT REALLY HELPED OR IS IT ALL MENTAL, EITHER WAY I FEEL A LITTLE BETTER.

Ok, so I'm goin to sound like the rest of you, lol. Anyhow I have felt like crap all day and decided to look up some info on how to fix or even get rid of my sore throat quick like. I'm goin home for a week during the 4th of July and I don't want to be sick when I get there. So I tried the Cayenne Pepper and needless to say I'm impressed! It hasn't taken it away but it has made it feel ten times better than it did. I will do this again before bed and then when I wake in the mornin. I honestly don't believe in things like this but it really does work :)

the cayenne powder remedy for sore throats works like magic. i was reluctant at first, hearing from a lot of my friends that it couldnt possibly work, because if it did then everyone who gets sore throats would know about it. my sister even laughed at me for even suggesting it. now when i get sore throats i get the kind where i cant even talk without feeling great amounts of pain, but here i am 5 minutes after rinsing and the pain is 1/10 what it was before i tried it.
