Never in my life have I experienced instant results from any sort of home remedies. The cayenne and water remedy took effect instantly and knocked my sore throat out like clockwork.

Ahhh! finally I can eat something without feeling like crying from pain. I have had a really bad sore throat for 3 days now. The back of my throat was red, raw, and looked like it was bleeding. Tried cough drops, otc throat spray, advil, etc and nothing touched the pain. So googled sore throat cure and thankfully this site came up. I alternated gargling the water and cayenne with drinking the ACV, lemon, cayenne, honey, hot water. It is now about an hour after i found this site, my sore throat is much better, not gone yet but tolerable. Thanks

So I'm sitting here with I think the worst sore throat I have had in my life, reading everyone's comments about the cayenne pepper remedy So I pull out a glass with warm/hot water, dumped some C pepper and started gargling. I'm not going to lie it burned my lips and tongue like no tomorrow. I gargled about 15 mins ago and i can tell a slight relief already. Ill try again shortly. I also had some really bad nasal congestion but that Cayenne pepper is clearing that up too! God I hope this works cause I feel like I'm falling apart!

I started getting a sore throat yesterday evening around 5:30. I normally chew Zinc or Vitamin C tablets.....but that didn't work this time. I woke up this morning with an incredibly sore throat finding it hard to breathe/talk/eat. I saw this Cayenne pepper & water "cure" and was very skeptical. To my surprise, I've done it five times today, 15 minutes apart, and my sore throat is pretty much GONE. Hopefully it stays away!! Note: I thought the Cayenne pepper and water would be horrible....but it really doesn't taste like anything....just has a little bite to it for an aftertaste. Off to do another round. Take care!

I just want to say that this warm water and cayenne pepper remedy really does work. This is really true. Yesterday I couldn't swallow worth a damn but today i feel much much much better. Its a gross taste though and it made me throw up 1 time lol but I'm fine today. Still sore just a lil bit but it'll be gone before the weekend is over.

THANK YOU! I have never felt so sick as I have for the past 48 hrs. I have had a fever, coughing, aches in my entire body and finally a very raw bleeding sore throat. Its 4:30am and I woke up unable to to sleep due to the pain. I mixed some in a cup of cold water and even though I cannot barely tolerate spicy foods, I tried it out. It is working so far! I have gargled 3 times over the past 45 mins and now I am able to breath and swallow without feeling like crying. I will continue this treatment throughout the night and during the day tomorrow This is for real. This is amazing!

I am so glad I stumbled on this site.. About a week ago I found this site searching for a home remedy for dry and cracked hands and was really taken buy it. In any event, two days ago I went to work and felt really drained and with the onset on a sore throat. I didn't think much of it at the time, but buy the end of my shift I felt really drained and the sore throat was kicking. I had a particular soreness to one side. I came home went to sleep and woke up at the symptoms were worse. By the afternoon I was exhausted and figured some sleep would be good for repair. I woke up aching and still with the sore throat. So, I went on this site and found the cayenne pepper cure and decided to give it a shot. It works, It works, It works... Cast aside your doubts, and fears about home remedies and in particular this one. I started off gargling a full teaspoon mixed with 12 ounces of water repeatedly for 15 minutes. (I mistook the original recipe which said every 15 minutes and did it for 15 minutes straight) It burned and was not fun, but having a sore throat is worse. After that I read it said to gargle every 15 minutes with a 1/4 tea spoon of cayenne in 4oz of water. I did this until I went to bed. In addition I had a few glasses of tea with a little Apple Cider Vinegar (2 table spoons). I woke up this morning and I have no, I mean no sore throat. No fever, no body aches, no headaches.. Nothing.. Absolutely wonderful. My deepest thanks.

I love cayenne pepper for my throat. I am cured in less then 2 hours of gargling with water and a few tablespoons of the mixture. Amazing.

Love your site but wanted to let you know that the reason you are supposed to stop taking cayenne pepper before surgery has nothing whatsoever to do with inflammation (which in most cases it doesn't cause anyhow). The reason is that Cayenne Pepper is a very effective blood thinner and so, like aspirin, you don't take it prior to surgery, to ensure minimal blood loss.

I woke up with a terrible throat and cough this morning and it even hurt when i breathed in and spoke. So, i was just looking on the internet to see what cures came up. Then, i came across this website! Soon i was off to the shops to buy some cayenne powder! When i had got some i gargled with it every 15 minutes. after the first try it didn't help much but i carried on. About 1/2 hours later my throat is better! i am still gargling though just to make sure it stays that way because it said to use the full glass before you stop. i am so grateful for this website and now i can talk as much as i want! Thank you again so much, Georgia xxxxx

It has only been an hour since I started the treatment of cayenne and water, but for years I've suffered from this and today I found this website with a cure. I already feel so much better, I was having trouble even swallowing saliva and now my pain is almost gone and I am having water. AMAZING! Thank you for this.

I just tried the cayenne pepper remedy (put it in some chicken bouillon to hide taste) and had the same problem with keeping it stirred up. So, then I tried using salsa instead of the c.b. and it worked great. Probably has some additives but tasted better and stayed stirred up better! For what that's worth..... Thanks, I enjoy your site very much.
