Pickle Juice for a Sore Throat

I know I am in desperate pain, when I'm sitting in front of the computer at three a.m. looking for home remedies for a super sore throat. I saw the doctor, well the nurse, today and was told after a sharp poke, instead of a swab of the throat that I do Not have strep. I almost wish I had it because two years ago, an anti-biotic took about two hours to kick in and End my suffering. So, the pick juice is really helping. I heated it, though I'm not sure that part is nessessary. I like pickle juice as is, but I've noticed relief just in breathing the vapors before it was cool enough to drink. I'll keep trying this and see if it "Cures" my sore throat. So far, it's absolutely helping the pain. So, thanks for the web site, and who ever listed this pickle idea. KJP Goshen Utah

I was suffering from discomfort in my throat all day and it worsened through tonight. I checked online for natural remedies (tried cinnamon on toast and it did not work) and came upon this site. I read about the dill pickle juice and, although unlike many of the others who seem to love pickles, I felt sick at the thought of trying this remedy. Even in the aisle at the store I felt disgusted. I opted for the kosher dill slices for the thinness (I probably should have selected the petite baby dills) and drank about an ounce of the juice followed by a sliced dill. My throat burned for some seconds after drinking the juice and eating the dill slice, but I am happy to say that the remedy worked and it worked FAST!

The best way to use pickle juice ( dill is the best) is to heat it up like you would hot tea. The heat activates the dill and vinager in a way that it helps even more. This not only helps with sore throats, but for stuffy heads and chest as well. I have used it several times and has not let me down.

Alright so i woke up with a sore throat that was bothering me like no other and i couldn't find ANY medicine to cure it. I figured, hey why not google a remedy? So this site popped up and i didn't have half the stuff on here but BAM there's pickle juice. I totally love that. So i tried it and it worked!!!! i was SOOO Excited! i recommend this to anyone. THANKS ALOT

I was amazed at the immediate soothing element that the pickle juice had.

THANK YOU! My sore throat horrible and it made me so sick i couldn't tell the difference from hungry and full anymore so yesterday I passed out in the Hair Salon from starvation. Today I was still feeling horrible and I could barely talk so I started looking for remedies and after my google search this was the first page I clicked on and when I saw pickle brine as a remedy i was amazed because I LOVE pickles so I drank some and TA-DAH! I am feeling great! But now I need to eat before I blackout again.

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?

pickle juice worked great i had a sore throat and looked up home remedies for sore throat and saw this and tried it.. it definitely relieved the pain after about five minutes.. thanks alot.

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.

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 was very skeptical when i saw this as a remedy for a sore throat but, it really worked! i did not however feel it instantly, but i drank it and over night it got better. thank you for the new tip!

I love pickle juice I never thought it would work but it did thank you. Now I will know what to use next time.

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
