• Curing a sore throat quickly?
    74 replies, posted
So I have a sore throat at the moment and it's really pissing me off. I searched the internet for a fast cure or anykind of cure and I came up with this. [quote]What I found was what appears to be a pretty fail safe cure for a sore throat over at earthclinic.com. They recommend that you you gargle with Cayenne Powder. Now before you think it’s crazy, go ahead and read the 135 people or so that have commented on the site about their amazing results. Believe me I was a little skeptical at first too and the thought of gargling with cayenne pepper powder makes you cringe, but honestly it is not that bad, not even near as bad as a common sore throat. You don’t really taste the cayenne at all and the only part that burns a little is when you spit it out the tip of your tongue burns a little bit and if you get it on your lips it will also burn a little, but nothing unbearable at all and nothing that won’t go away with a quick rinse of fresh water (note don’t gargle the fresh water as you want the cayenne to stay on your throat and work its magic.) My Recipe I don’t think there is really a science to this thing as if you read around there are tons of different recipes and all seem to have very good results. So here is what I did to make my cayenne sore throat elixir. * 1 standard drinking glass of hot to warm water * 1 teaspoon of cayenne powder * a couple pinches of salt for good measure (most people say its not necessary but it won’t hurt) That’s it! Just simply take a mouthful and gargle away. There are two things that I want to point out though. One you will need to constantly stir the elixir right before you gargle as the cayenne likes to settle at the bottom and two you may want to gargle with your eyes closed as maybe I’m just a bad gargler, but one time I did gargle some of the mixture into my eye (note: cayenne pepper in the eye burns)[/quote] That has gotten over 5280 hits in [url=http://digg.com/health/How_to_cure_a_sore_throat_almost_instantly]DIGG[/url] Anyone had the guts to try it? By reading through some comments it seems to work. I also came up with something to back up the story ---> [url=http://www.google.com/search?q=tincture+capsicum]Here[/url] I might just try it and see what happens.

Drink water. Not soda, not Red Bull, water.
Take painkillers, can't really 'cure' it, but will lessen the pain Gargling doesn't help at all when I have a sore throat. Neither do strepsils/buttermenthols/soothers
[QUOTE=Figgis Fiddis;15392222]Drink water. Not soda, not Red Bull, water.[/QUOTE] I've been going mostly with hot juice. It's rather dull stuff to drink but it helps a little.

Take more, get addicted then go to rehab, proven formula. In all seriousnes though just gargle with Betadine, shit works like magic
If you gurgle bleach it helps but yeah i'd only do it if you're like a pro gurgler gurgling mouth wash helps sooth it for about half an hour or so
Garlic, Eating Garlic, and gargling salt water
Amputate. Trust me, I'm a internet doctor.
drink bleach it's a proven fix :ughh:
Semen. About 200mls will do. Works every time.
One thing I have found that actually helps is mixing about 1tsp of cayenne pepper (it's basically a powdered form of chilli) with warmish water then gargle it for a while (don't swallow it, it's very spicy)
There are pills made just for that, if you don't have them, then warm milk with some honey should do fine.
Just don't talk at all and drink lots of tea.

[QUOTE=Druchii;15392589]Warm milk with honey works every time. Sometimes takes 2 or 3 mugs full though.[/QUOTE] This. Works nicely, and tastes nice too :v:

You could drink a large bottle of water.
[QUOTE=Dr Nick;15392654]You could drink a large bottle of water.[/QUOTE] Listen to Dr Nick
Little, very little amount of whiskey mixed with honey will help a lot. That's mine.
Suck your own dick and swallow. Someone told me that works but I'm not willing to try it.
Honey in warmish water. Gargle salty water. And don't smoke.
The cayenne thing worked, I just tried it.
gargle warm salt water go go go no really, it is [b]the best[/b] to curing sore throats.
I prefer to drink a cup of hot chocolate with some cognac mixed in when I have a sore throat.
Tea. Chamomile tea.
Goddamn chocolate poptarts (cold), it's what I use, plus it's a goddamn poptart! I mean is there nothing they can't solve?
Down a bottle of Bacon vodka.
