I came home from a family dinner and for the first time in a year I felt a dry painful throat, I told my fiance I was going to go to bed. I tried to sleep but I couldn't get over the pain, remembering this website from the ACV cure I used for overall health, I searched for sore throats. Coming to the Cayenne page I went downstairs and took 1/2 tsp of powder and 6oz of warm water, gargled and then swallowed, it felt fantastic and I felt almost immediate results, I just woke up and I am taking it again, bye bye sore throat, what a remedy!

I stumbled on your site this morning @5:30am with a sore throat....I was contemplating whether or not to call in sick because I talk on the phone all day for my job. But I found this site where you talked of cayenne pepper, acv, lemon juice and honey and warm/hot water...well I mixed them all and drank it like a tea while at work...yes it burned a little bit (but I grew up on hot stuff) it actually worked, there is not much soreness left, I will keep and use this remedy as long as it keeps working!!! Thanks to everyone who contributed to info....you saved me from missing work.

I had a sore throat for two days and I was fed up with it!! Lozenges provided relief for about 2 mins literally & salt and warm water was useless! After 2 attempts on google to find something that wasn't so yucky I found this!! I grabbed my wallet & keys and sped to the store to get the cayenne. I used 1/2 tsp to a glass of warm water & gargled about 4 times. I sipped a bit of it which was PEPPER as heck!! At bedtime my sore throat seemed to get worse...the cayenne was doing its job at that time. Cuz when I woke up my throat was 100% better. I'm still congested but I can deal with that!! Bye bye sore throat!!! Thanks!!

I just learned why I have been craving garlic, hot peppers, vinegar (ketchup), all my life. I have been a very healthy person, only getting sick for a day or two a year and have a bad diet/sweet tooth. Today when I got hungry after two days of not eating much I was craving a carls jr buffalow burger(cayenne) and a shake...I felt so good after it for about 2 hours then it got bad again. It was so bad I could not sleep and I feared for my throat to start bleeding, found your site, only thing I had was Frank's Red Hot (chili sauce) so I mixed it with water and now I think I am going to make it through the night as it feels 80% better after three gargles. Thank you, I plan picking up some of the other stuff to try too. Time for sleep

To start, I have tried the cayenne pepper for a sore throat and found it did work but only after using it basically all day. It does burn the mouth a bit to. All in all it did work.

Having had throat problems for 20 years, comprising of pain, tickly cough, sticky mucus, I have tried almost everything with little success. I then tried cayenne gargle, with a little salt. The result is fantastic, almost immediately, my throat was back to normal, no mucus or pain. I now use a gargle mix of cayenne, apple cider vinegar, salt & honey twice daily. I also take cayenne with food. Generally feel very well and am very happy to have got rid of throat problems. I have been doing this regime for 2 weeks now.

I have had some throat problems in the last three weeks, I have had pus come and go. I just started round 2 of antibiotics and decided to see what else I could do. I tried the Cayenne Pepper and hot water and instantly felt relief. Then later today I tried the apple cider vinegar with water lemon juice and honey, the pus pockets in my throat have been reduced down about 50%, I cant believe it. Give this stuff a try, it works.

Cayenne Pepper cured my sore throat. My throat was raw and sore from coughing. I read about gargling hot water with 1/4 tsp of Cayenne Pepper. After I gargled a glassful, my throat wasn't sore. For added benefit, I followed up with a 12 oz. cup of hot water with 2 T. of ACV, 1 tsp. honey and 1/4 tsp. of Cayenne Pepper. The taste was tolerable. My throat felt good afterwards.

Wow, can't believe it! Had a sore throat that lasted 4 weeks. My doctor prescribed me Amoxicillin and it didn't work at all. Found this site and tried the Cayenne pepper remedy and it worked after 2 days!!

I found this site by googling "sore throat" "can't swallow" as I felt I had a huge swollen golf ball in my throat and was spitting saliva as swallowing it hurt too much. I tried gargling 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper in a mug (8oz) hot water, and wow.... I could swallow, I could breathe, the golf ball entirely disappeared, throat felt lubricated. I could eat dinner with my guests as planned, and felt great. The results were so good I kept sipping a tea (same proportions, though the cayenne settles to the bottom) all the next day, still good results. Then yesterday (day 3) I xcountry skied and chatted all day while drinking hot chocolate instead of the cayenne. This morning, sore throat and laryngitis. !! I am back continually sipping the cayenne now and my voice isn't back (I suspect the cayenne cannot get into the larynx unless you drown in it) but my throat is SO much better. Maybe my cayenne is cheap and old (at least a year) so is less spicy than what some others have, but I found 1/4- 1/2 tsp in 1 large mug hot water to be so pleasant I am going to keep drinking it instead of other herbal teas. mmm. Kind of like clamato juice or chili con carne. Apparently it is good for migraines and digestion too, lots of Vitamin a, C and complete B. thanks!!

I am 36 weeks prego and there aren't many choices of medications I can take or feel comfortable taking.I just came down with a sore throat and I feel as if a cold is coming on. I went to google and found this site. Thank god! I did my usual lemon juice and salt but that didn't work. Now I just used the cayanne pepper with water and instant relief. No pain and I will be doing it in the next 15 minutes.
