I just tried this for my sore throat that I have had for 2 days now. I can tell you it feels so much better! That first sip was kinda gross but I kept on gargling. The second time I was like oh man! I used 1 tsp to 12 oz.cup of hot water. Afterwards I used some ricola w/lemon and honey drops and i feel great! I am getting a 32" LCD TV in a few hrs. and I can enjoy it fully now! Thanks for your site!

WOOOOOW!!! I 'm so glad I found this site. I had a sore throat for over a week, and i did not want to take anti-biotics. It was so bad, I did not even want to eat, or yawn. So i tried the Cayenne remedy before i went to bed, i woke up in the morning and about 95% of the pain was GONE. I was so happy, this is great...thanks!

Yesterday afternoon I started out with an itching cough, as the day wore on I started getting a sore throat. I spent the whole night sipping water and suffering. I spent all day at work with a sore throat and swollen sinuses. When I got home I naturally got online and googled "sore throat". Somehow I found your site and started reading the testimonials on cayenne gargle and tomato tea. I tried the cayenne gargle first and was totally amazed at how much better I felt. After gargling with the cayenne numerous times I decided to try inhaling a bit of salt water. I am now sitting here feeling like myself again and sipping tomato tea. Thank you so much for creating this website and posting these wonderful home remedies!

Hi, I was so miserable today at work, and they would not let me go home, so the entire day i've been looking for tips on how to relieve my sore throat, and tried the Cayenne Pepper, and walah! It worked. Instantly I felt SO MUCH better. Like it wasnt painful to breathe as much. Thank you for your amazing website! Now I'm going to try the egg whites for fevers.

Well, first I want to say the Cayenne pepper thing worked. I woke at 4am this morning and gargled with salt water and hydrogen peroxide, but it did nothing for the hellish pain. I was desperate to get rid of it, but I am refusing to take any kind of drug anymore. When I saw Cayenne pepper as a cure, I thought it was going to be so painful I couldn't do it--because of the spiciness. It worked so freakin well, I just drink it now. And the sore throat is nearly gone after 20 minutes.

Had sore throat, chest congestion for over a week.. (antibiotic did not work fast enough)...too the point that when I cough my muscles in my stomach aches already.. Googled sore throat remedy and found this site. Ran to the supermarket at 10PM and bought McCormmick's ground cayene pepper for under 4 bucks. Microwaved a glass of water, mixed half a tablespoon of cayenne powder.. gargled about 6 times in 5 minutes.. like others noted..cayenne caused minor discomfort/senasation in mouth.. rinsed mouth with water.. AND UNBELIEVABLE RESULT WITHIN 15 MINUTES... throat soreness was gone.. nostrils cleared up..and slept through the night. By the way..I tried this 3 nights ago just to make sure I don't have any side effects or something negative before I write this. This thing worked for me.. and hope it works for you , too. Thanks to the person who "invented: this.

(RED PEPPER FLAKES) I put a rather healthy amount of red pepper flakes into a rather warm glass of hot watter and let it sit for a couple of minutes....giving time for the red pepper to dissolve..... I the gargled it....and gargled....and gargled.... after the second gargle, I coughed up the most phlem of my life and my nose came clear....I had a cup of hot tea with milk and sugar...and I was better in about a half hour...my girlfriend did not bother trying it with me, she is still sick in bed...I'm going to play golf....

P.s. I'm the biggest sceptic there is....and it worked....

I had the worst sore throat of my life; part of a nasty viral syndrome with congestion and etc. I had two perscriptions for sore throat and cough meds - they did absolutely NOTHING. In total desparation and after three days, I tried gargling 1 tsp cayenne pepper with warm water. I was telling my wife how it did not work when, all of the sudden, all that awful phlem came right up, and I blew the rest of that green crud right out my nose. Then I tried the ACV, heated to breath the vapors, then gargled. For the first time in days, my throat felt okay! It instantly took away 80% of the discomfort. Thank God for this web page!

I woke up this morning to a very bad sore throat, extremely swollen and irritated. I felt like gagging, which is something I do NOT like to do. I went online and found your site. After reading all the results from Cayenne Pepper I decided to try it. Luckily my girlfriend is a great cook and she had some in the cabinet. I could not believe what a difference it made! Immediately after sipping my throat felt almost back to normal. I have been doing it now on and off for about an hour and I can not thank you guys enough. Now I look forward to trying the Apple Cider Vinegar method for my high blood pressure.

Cayenne pepper is amazing! Last night I felt like I was coming down with a cold, so I dipped my favorite citric fruit, pineapple, slices in Cayanne peppr before I went to bed. In the morning, I didn't have a cold at all! The Cayanne pepper unclogged my noseand opened up my lungs. Thanks to this amazing cure, I can go to school today!

After three days of non-stop allergies, sinuses, and congestion I was willing to try anything. So literally five minutes ago I tried gargling with 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper mixed with a cup of hot water and right away all that nasty sticky phlegm came right on out. Plus most of the pain in my throat went away! I gargled as much of the cayenne water as I could although the first sip was Harsh (thought I was gonna die) and now I am going to make spaghetti with lots and lots of pepper to see how that goes. Seriously people, its amazing stuff. Try it at least once especially after you've tried everything else.

re: Ceyenne Pepper remedy and H2O2 remedy: These two remedies are unbelievable!!! My 5 yr old daughter keeps acquiring the cold bug after every couple of weeks. Often times, her cold requires an anntibiotic as a last resort and lot of absent days from school. However, in my quest for a better and a natural alternative, I came across this website. I decided to follow the advice for using ceyenne pepper for the sore throat and H2O2 for her cold. Viola!! Miracle. Since she is only 5 yrs, she could not really gargle, however, she was able to take a sip of ceyenne pepper water, and while holding her breath she held her neck back for a couple of seconds. This way the ceyenne pepper liquid could actually stay in contact with her throat for a couple of a seconds at a time. She felt a lot better after the remedy, and was actually able to go to school this morning.

Now for the H2O2, I mixed one cap of 3% in a half glass of water. Poured 3 drops in each ear. In between the the two ears, I gave a couple of minutes on each side as suggested by all people who had positive results. This morning she woke up with slight nasal congestion but no pain in her throat. awesome!! Thank you all.

Didn't sleep all night, so googled "sore throat remedy" and gargled water and cayenne pepper. My mouth stung like crazy for 10mins, but the throat immediately subsided. Will keep gargling this morning... Thx

I saw on your site how many 'yeahs' were received for using cayenne pepper to help a sore throat, after waking up at 2:00 am and not being able to swallow without pain. I mixed 1/2 tsp with 1/3 cup warm water and gargled until I was tired of gargling. I was able to swallow without pain directly after that, it was that fast! I'm thankful to have found something, even later in life, that keeps me from having that awful feeling of not wanting to swallow due to soreness. Thanks so much for your site!
