Apple Cider Vinegar for Sore Throat Treatment

I actually have been drinking apple cider vinegar everyday as a part of keeping my body healthy. I stopped drinking it up until about a month ago. Looking on the internet for some home remedy relief for my sore throat, I stumbled on this site. Its kinda funny to see that this can cure a sore throat and it made me feel like I shouldn't have ever stopped drinking it at all but hey it did its job it is worth a try for all the people out there scared to take it.

I'm a singer and woke up this morning with a dull soreness and scratchy feeling in the back of my throat. I immediately went online to find a cure or a quick fix up, and I found this site! Absoultely amazing... I tried the mix of Apple Cider Vinegar, honey, and hot water. I am now drinking this amazing drink and my sore throat is GONE! Thank you so much! I used 3 tbs of ACV, 3 tbs of honey, and a cup of hot water. The taste and smell is strong at first, but you get used to it. Thank you!

wow! as soon as i read this website i quickly tried the suggested 3 tbl spoons of acv and honey with warm water. as i write this comment now i am drinking this miracle concoction. i'm not even 1/2 way done with my glass and i am feeling alot better! i recommend this to anyone who has been suffering from a sore throat for a short amount of time...like me. Although the smell is a little strong and the taste is strong at first..GET OVER IT! This will help.

My step mom is a nurse and when i had a sore throat i asked her the best home remedy because i have no medical insurance. She told me to add 2 tbs of acv to an 8oz glass of water, and gargle and swallow every 30 minutes. Within 5-6 hours my strep throat was completely gone. Everytime i get a sore throat, this is what i do. It tastes horrible, but helps immensily. Thank goodness for a nurse in the family!

Thank you so much for this site. I was thinking about going to the Dr. tomorrow for a bad sore throat and lump in my throat...I don't like Dr's very much my I had 3 natural childbirths the last one at home...so I'm usually pretty bad if I go. AMAZING!!! is all I have to say. I gargled with acv, OJ, salt and warm h2o (no exact measurements I'm Italian...so a splash of this and a pinch of that)and I can't believe how quick the releif came. Thank you again. I can't wait to read some of the other remedies on your site!

Does it work?????? OHHH yeah! Woke up at 4am with what felt like a mouth full of glass... Couldnt swallow air let alone liquids. I downed a cup of tea with 3 tablespoons(yea I went heavy) of ACV and a shake of sugar. First sip was a killer, i almost yakked from the taste alone. By the 3rd sip my throat had calmed down to the point where the pain was minimal at best. I figured Id do one better and proceeded to drink 4 ounces of ACV straight! Well after I spent the next 6 hrs on the commode...the pain was gone! No kidding. This stuff really works folks.

Good morning! I woke up around 3:30 this morning with my throat so swollen I almost had a panic attack. I have been struggling with sinusitis and allergies for several months now, and believe it culminated this week into a severe sore throat. I did break down and take amoxocillin the last time (just three weeks ago) but broke out in a rash on 7th day. I am not willing to try antibiotics again so soon, so got online to see if anything could be found for relief. My throat hurt so bad 20 minutes ago, it brought back memories of a tonsillectomy in 3rd grade. I now know that sugar just feeds these things, but in order to get through my day yesterday, I had to do couph drops. So I tried the 2 tbs ACV in water(a normal sized mug) with a tbs of natural honey. IT WORKS! I am not pain free, but I can swallow without severe pain. I will be taking a large serving of this with me today! I cannot thank you enough, as I was really in panic mode. I notice now I am breaking a sweat, which I consider a good thing, toxins releasing. I will be including this in my daily regimine froom now on. I am a hygienist though, and do recommend trying it with the soda or immediately brushing your teeth thoroughly after use, as this can do severe damage to your teeth.

Thanks so much, I now know I can make it through today, and that I don't have to take an antibiotic. Much relief!

Woke up at around 4:30 A.M. and my throat was killing me. It's been this way after a couple weeks and a full regiment of Penicillin. I googled about sore throats and found this site. Made me a conconction of ACV and tea and it's working surprisingly well. Use 1 cup water, throw in a teabag of earl gray tea add 2 teaspoons suger and 2 tablespoons ACV. Seems to be working for me, hope it works for others too.

My throat was hurting so bad,and woke me in the early hours this morning. I have gargled several times today with warm salt water. When I found this website I tried 3 Tbs. ACV,3 Tbs.honey,and 6 oz.warm water. My throat has already eased. thank you so much.

Sore Throats: Apple Cider Vinegar and Honey go a long way!!! My sore throat started only a day ago and has gotten so bad that it hurt to drink water and talk. It just woke me up at 3am (as I write this). So I searched and found this site. As a Nurse Practitioner I have been educated about all the different meds out there, but lack the education in any herbal remedies (which would have been nice). Though I do recommend that for any sore throat lasting over a week, or if you are unable to talk or breath, or if you have white patches on your throat in the mouth, seek help from your health care provider...anyway, the point is that the ACV remedy worked for me! I dropped about 2 Table Spoons of ACV with a Table Spoon or two (depending on taste) in some water and heat it up...I have been sipping on it while typing this and am now able to swallow my spit without wincing...it isn't completely gone, but maybe now I can get some sleep.

Absolutely speechless! My sore throat came on fast over the course of 1 day. By the end of the first night, it proved to be the worst I've had to date. skeptical, but desporate, I thought if its a bad idea, it wont hurt much worse. I just mixed apx 3 tsp in some normal tea, I've taken 4 sips while writing this and I already feel so much better, not gone, but mild enough to live with. Sounds scary, but you'll be very plesantly suprised. This is one chance you wont regret taking.

My fiance had a sore throat that was absolutely terrible for 24 hrs. My car has been acting funny so I couldn't drive to a store to buy medicine. I found this website and we happen to have ACV in the cabinet. I mixed two tablespoons of that with a half cup of warm water which he sipped slowly. He felt a little relief after two minutes. The rest of the night he drank cinnamon tea with a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and was all better.

I ingest Apple Cider Vinegar, raw, organic, unfiltered, with the mother... I get sore throats a few times a year... I gargle with cider vinegar diluted with bottled spring water.

I've had a nasty sore throat for about a week now. I was finally getting fed up and decided to find something to help. I've been sipping on the ACV, honey, and orange juice for about 30 min now and my throat is feeling a lot better. I can actually swallow my own saliva again.

I have been battling with a frustrating sore throat for the past few days now , just began with the usuals such as warm teas with honey and whatnot , though it did not seem to work at all . I then went to my pharmacist tried a throat gargle and and an antiseptic lozenge for half a day without any improvement . I woke at midnight ( tonight ) with a throat i could not swallow or speak with , i was even considering going to the hospital before bumping into this site which seemed to be quite helpful from the off set . I gathered that this cayenne powder worked , though i did not have any on hand so i found a trend of anything hot would be beneficial in relieving a sore throat . So i found some curry powder , initially i put in a few teaspoons to a glass of warm water and only gargled , it was annoying hot though i i didn't swallow , so i tried a teaspoon of black pepper with the curry, gargled and swallowed ... i coughed and choked as well as various burning sensations deep within the affected area . I then read on another post about someone sipping tablespoons of vinegar, took two tablspoons initially ... they went down well with more of a stinging knife poking sensation in my throat , so i finished up taking one more ... I can swallow to a degree , stuffiness in my head has subsided , though i will check in the morning to see how i feel.
