3 Vinegar Sore-Throat Soothers

Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is one of Mother Nature’s most potent sore-throat relievers (whether the pain is caused by strep or a virus). You can put this valiant vanquisher to work in three ways:

Drink it. Mix 1 tablespoon each of ACV and raw honey in 1 cup of warm water, and sip the potion slowly. Repeat as desired once or twice a day.

Gargle it. Mix 2 teaspoons of ACV in 8 ounces of warm water, and proceed as follows: Gargle a mouthful of the solution, and spit it out. Then swallow a mouthful. Keep alternating until the glass is empty. Wait 60 minutes, and go at it again. Continue as needed until you’ve put your pain out to pasture.

Wear it. Just before bedtime, saturate a soft cotton cloth in a solution made from 2 tablespoons of ACV mixed with ⅔ cup of warm water. Ring out the cloth, put it on your throat, and secure it with a strip of dry gauze or an elastic bandage, and leave it in place overnight. By morning, your throat should feel much better. Repeat as necessary.


NOTE: For this and any other medicinal purpose, always use raw, organic, unfiltered apple cider vinegar (available in health-food stores and in the health-food sections of most supermarkets). The clear, filtered kind that’s generally found with the salad dressings in the main grocery store aisles has been stripped of the enzymes and friendly bacteria that give ACV its miraculous healing power.
