A natural miracle: Cayenne pepper cures sore throats
Wow, I’m truly amazed. I have had a sore throat that has been getting steadily worse and worse for a few days now. It is getting to the point where I can’t swallow and even my ears were beginning to hurt and I was worrying that I might have full blown tonsillitis.
I typed in ’sore throat remedies’ into Google and came across this wonderful little gem. I decided to try it immediately especially after reading all the happy ex-sore throat sufferers feedback comments *and* knowing that I live in a house where cayenne pepper is never in short supply (in fact only yesterday we planted two rows of chilli plants into the vegetable garden, one row being cayenne):
#1 REMEDY: Cayenne Powder Cures Sore or Strep
We think the best remedy on this page for a sore throat (whether viral, bacterial or strep) is cayenne pepper. You may still need to continue the remedy for 2 - 3 days to see final results, so be patient! This remedy works when antibiotics do not and is excellent for those weird sore throats that don’t seem to go away after 4 weeks (the ones that possibly lead to chronic fatigue syndrome). This remedy works so well (and so fast), you will probably grow bored reading all the positive reader feedback below!

I’m literally gargling cayenne pepper water as I type this and only started doing so about 5 minutes ago but ALREADY I feel like I might be able to get some sleep tonight as my throat feels strangely better (and yes a little warm). I used a very small amount (five shakes) of spice and about three eggcup’s of water.
One testimonial on the above site states that ‘I even have cayenne pepper in my bathroom cabinet now so I don’t need to go to the kitchen for it when I am ill in the middle of the night’.
How can it be that I’ve never been told of this remedy after 20 years of having tonsillitis several times a year? I shall continue to gargle with this over the next day or two and will report back as to whether it really has stopped me from having to visit the doctor with a pair of infected, green toncills!
Next time I get the first tingle of a dodgy throat I’ll be shovelling cayenne pepper down my neck instead of sucking on throat lozenges which only dull the pain for as long as I’ve got one in my mouth.
