I was desperate because I did not have time to go to the Dr. today and most will not be open Monday, due to Christmas, so I looked up cures for a sore throat online, and found this "cure." I tried it and so far, it seems to have worked just great!! THANK YOU!

yesterday afternoon i started to feel a little scratchy-ness in my throat, and i just blew it off thinking maybe it was from yelling or eating spicy food. This morning i woke up and my throat was throbbing and it felt swolen. Tomorrow i start my new job early in the morning and i knew i wouldn't be able to stand it with a sore throat so i looked online and found this site. i tried the cayenne pepper in water first thing and it worked magic. i gargled a few times and i swallowed a little bit and its not even that spicy just a little burn of the tongue, but it is soooooo worth it getting rid of a sore throat that fast!

The Cayenne red pepper really does cure the sore throat. I gargled with it and accidentally swallowed some and my sore throat was literally gone instantly.

I was suffering from a sore throat which i thought was from a cold. Needed something because it was keeping me up at night. I found this site, tried it with some thick (which sucked) red peppers from the kitchen. WOW!!! is all i can say, yeah it was hot, but boy did it work.. First i thought, boo, its just because of the hot peppers distracting me from the pain. NOPE 4 hours later, still no pain. It did come back about half way through my work day, but i had picked some cayenne peppers up on the way. Another dose, another 3-5 hours pain free.. Amazing TRUELY AMAZING!! I went in and told my boss, "you know the reason i don't go to the doctor, cuz doctors don't give you real info" LOL!! Great fix, love this site

This cayenne pepper remedy is a MIRACLE worker. I woke up on Saturday with the worst sore throat I have had in years. Sore throats are the part of a cold I hate MOST. Well anyway, this coming week starting tomorrow is finals week. I thought that I would have to skip the finals or worse, take them sick. I jumped online right when I woke up and found this remedy. On Saturday I gargled cayenne pepper in water every 15 minutes for 3 hours in the morning and and at night. To my surprise I woke up the next day with a mere scratchy throat. That day I gargled cayenne pepper only twice (at night). And the best part is that it cured most of my sinus problems that came with a cold. I woke up today with no sore throat whatsoever. I can now study all day without interruptions and without a cold in peace. Thanks Earthclinic!

I was having a sore throat, on and off, and this morning it was so severe that as i was checking my e mails, i decided to figure out a way to cure it by searching online. I stumbled across this site and i read about the cayenne pepper in warm water. I went and gargled the water and I was shocked to see how true and how fast it worked. And my throat was really hurting. It was like right after that, I felt so much better. Although my voice is still a bit horse, i will keep up with the cayenne pepper and warm water. Hopefully I will be cured as if nothing happened. I also saw the ACV column and I do have an on and off weight problem. I gain weight very easily so i was looking for a simple, non harsh way to fix it as I'm not a bad eater and I am kinda active. I have started the drink as of today and will keep you updated as soon as i see a result. After the cayenne pepper working, I am confident something good will come of the ACV also. I'm so glad i found this site. Thank you and thanks to the readers who help out with their experiences and comments.

I've had a sore throat for the past couple of weeks. Unfortunately I had run out of cayenne pepper and forgot to get it every time I went to the store. I finally got some yesterday and gargled with a very STRONG concoction of cayenne and water. My sore throat disappeared after a few hours. Be careful how many shakes of pepper you do. I did about 5 shakes and my mouth burned like crazy for about 15 minutes... Had to suck on an ice cube!

I have tried everything when I have sore throat due to allergies and/or sinus, cold. The cayenne pepper and warm water gargle work amazingly! The only side affect was my lips burned a little for two minutes afterward, but I rubbed ice on them. This is a miracle cure!

Amazing. I was very skeptical. I tried the iodine "cure" first because it was painless and I was afraid of drinking the cayenne (yes, I am a wimp). After two days of a very sore throat and an important week of meetings coming up, I was desperate to try it and so I bit the bullet and tried the gargle. It wasn't near as hot as I expected and to my amazement within a few hours I had a ton of relief. I woke up the next day totally cured and it has been 4 days and it didn't return. Completely healed. I will spread the word of this cure and this website. THANK YOU!!

So when I first came on this website I was pretty skeptical of whether or not I was going to gargle hot pepper in my mouth. Then I saw a girl Lisa from my home town Sault Ste. Marie posted some feedback. I thought that this must be a real remedy because of the obscure hometown reference. I don't like hot food too too much, and it sounded gross. It's actually not that bad, nowhere near as gross as buckleys and many medicines you get at the pharmacy. It does make your throat tingle from the hotness, but it's not that bad. The best part, I haven't coughed since I took the first gargle ! I strained a tiny muscle in my ribs from all the coughing, and so every time i'd cough it would really sting in that area, I couldn't take it anymore. That is why I went online to do research. I have already been taking Advil, Vicks cadies, Vitamin C, Honey, Cough syrup, using Vaporub and drinking tea. None of it worked, or if it did, it was very temporary. Thank you so much for the important information.

The hot tomato drink and cayenne pepper gargle cure my sore throat and cold symptoms. Great site. Thank you for the above remedies. My colds usually last about a week and generally develop into sinus problems but this time they didn't. Will pass your site on to other sufferers.

Cayenne pepper gave me some relief, it looked like it was working as anesthetic, but the real healing of a very bad sore throat happened when I put together cayenne extract and a tea spoon of Osha root extract. A Nepalese man at the Health Food Store went directly to this herb and told me this is the strongest cure in Chinese medicine for the throat. It really worked, I added also some garlic. I both swallowed and gargled with it. Thank you a lot for your site!

Sorry, I forgot to say that I put Osha root extract (one teaspoon), Cayenne pepper extarct (10 drops) and a little garlic in some water. Maybe it is understood but better to be precise. I took it every three hours, after 3-4 times I was incredibly better.
