How to use apple cider vinegar for a sore throat

How to use apple cider vinegar for a sore throat

 

The Natural New Age Dad is crazy about his apple cider vinegar (ACV)!

It’s his cure-all for every ailment.

So, when I had a sore throat the other day, he immediately looked up his Apple Cider Vinegar book and found me a remedy.

I was already taking all my favourite natural remedies, but I must say that this one worked really well and I will add it to my repertoire.

 

 

This is what we did:

* Put 1 teaspoon of Braggs Organic Apple Cider Vinegar into half a glass of water

* Gargle three mouthfuls of the mix each hour

* Spit it out (don’t drink because the ACV sucks up the germs)

* Cut down to every three hours once you feel some relief

 

Then, we did this:

* Soak a thin cloth in ACV and wring out

* Place around the throat

* Cover with plastic wrap (we had to cobble together something as we don’t buy plastic wrap anymore!)

* Cover with heat pack

* Lie down for an hour or so

 

Apple Cider Vinegar is awesome stuff. I am going to talk some more about it, but I will leave that for another blog post.

Just be sure if you are going to use it, that you buy an organic version, with ‘the mother’.

So there you have it, there really is no need to visit the chemist and load up on chemicals to treat a sore throat, go to your pantry first!

What’s your favourite remedy for a sore throat?

    In my family we turn straight to Olive Leaf Extract. It also doesn’t taste great but it’s been preventing sore throats developing in my family for years now. My kids haven’t been to the doctors or on medication since starting with Olive Leaf.

    I LOVE ACV! I routinely just scull the stuff straight (!) I suffer from low stomach acid, so a swig 1/2 an hour before meals does wonders for the digestion.

    Fresh ginger, manuka honey with a swig of pineapple juice heat up into a “tea” is my fav sore throat soother!

    I love ACV for hair conditioning and salad dressings, but I’ll have to try it for sore throat relief. I’ve had a sore throat all week and I’ve been gargling with warm salt water and drinking honey lemon “tea”. That’s kept it from getting worse, but I’ll definitely try adding ACV to the mix! Thanks for the tip!

    I love finding new ways to use things I already have in my pantry. I’ll try this next time someone complains of a sore throat.

    My hubby swears by raw garlic, he just chomps into the stuff as soon as he feels he is coming down with something. Will definitely add the ACV to his repertoire, if he stays healthy, he doesn’t give it to the rest of us 😀

    I make tea with fresh thyme in a tea ball then add a squeeze of lemon juice and a dash of honey. Works wonders. Read up on thymol (from thyme) and colds. Seems to be a bit of a super herb for anything respiratory really.
