Well I have had flu symptoms for the pass couple of days and my mom doesn't seem to want to give me anything but halls for my sore thoart which we all know doesn't really work! But I figured while I was laying on the couch I would google. So I can across the pickle juice remedy and hot sauce remedy. These were the only two ingrediants I knew we had in the kitchen so I decided to drink some pickle juice I didn't really drink a certain amount just enough so that my stomach wouldn't ache afterwards then I walked over and dipped my finger in a cup of hot sauce and sucked it from my finger, not in any specific measurements. My throat immediately felt relief! So now its only been about five mins but I can feel it working already! Who would have known!!! THANKS!!!

Hey I've recently tried this "cure" with my friend, and for the first few sips it helped, really it did, until the heat from the "tea" itself faded. My stomach is now cramping. Warning: DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS PICKLE JUICE REMEDY WITHOUT FOOD IN YOUR STOMACH! It does NOT feel good. Although, I hardly notice my throat.

Hey, I have been up all night, as it is now 3 am, and tomorrow I am going camping with some friends. Well I'd rather go with a horridly sore throat than miss it but thought hey why not give it a shot? So I google Cures For Sore Throats, and I see a cure with pickles. I love pickles. Well I have heated up some pickle juice and have had a few sips. It's amazing. My stuffy nose is clearing and I can swallow again. Thank the Lord for pickles! It's really easy in case you haven't figured it out, heat up some pickle juice and wait for it to cool until you can drink it. Yummy too.

I find a very good cure for a sore throat is drinking the brine from a jar of pickles. It works for me every time.

I tried 2 teaspoons of Brine and helped ease sore throat pain after about 30 minutes. Didn't have any pickle brine but had some Thai green vegetable brine. I think any brine would work.

I've drunk pickle juice for hiccups so i was a bit skeptic about it being a cure for something else but wow! while the pickle juice did not cure my sore throat, it did alleviate almost all the pain. its been like 10 minutes since i drank it and i still feel great! who woulda thought huh?

While it didn't necessarily CURE my sore throat, it definitely alleviated the pain a lot! Highly recommended. I hadn't eaten straight pickles in over 4 years, I forgot how delicious they were.

I've had the worst sore throat for last five days following a sinus infection and a cold. After the cold had ran it's course I was still left with the lingering cough and irritating sore throat. Not to mention losing my voice on and off all week. I tried cough medicine from Robitussin to tylenol cough and cough (although the tylenol provided temporary pain relief; as soon it wore off the back came back)I also tried zytrec and sudafed (because i was told it might be allergies.) To my dismay nothing worked out. I got desperate and begun searching the web for a home remedy. And alas....(harps play here...) I found this site. When i saw pickle juice I figured this is a win-win situation. I love pickles... and i found it quite delightful to swig the juice. And i can say i'm never been more pleasantly surprised that it actually seems to work!! It was only about a hour ago that i drank it so i don't know if it's effects are going to last; but i've got my fingers crossed. Thank you so much for publishing this cure.

I had a very bad sore throat the other night. I tried drinking hot tea w/honey and gargled salt water. Neither of them worked very well. I ran a search on Yahoo for "Home Remedies for Sore Throat" and came across your website. I tried the Pickle juice and amazingly enough it relieved my sore throat almost instantly. Thank you very much. I will be passing along this home remedy for many years to follow.

I developed a sore throat, but did not think that it was anything to worry about... Then the next day, it got worse, swallowing and talking being very painful at times... I searched for sore throat cures in google, found Earth Clinic, and looked through the remedies listed... I was quite surprised to see Pickle Juice as one of the cures - but then remembered learning of vinegar's bacteria fighting properties... So, I gave the cure a try and lo and behold - my sore throat felt better within the first few sips... I like Earth Clinic
