SALT WATER GARGLE

There seem to be many recipes for gargles to help a sore throat. Most viruses and bacteria are susceptible to acids, alkalines, or salt. Whereas bacteria can develop a resistance to antibiotics, this is not the case with most home remedies. Remember that salt based and baking soda based gargles can be drying, so have some water handy to drink or gargle with after you use them.

Sore-and-strep-throat-away Gargle image

No joke, this simple concotion from the famous, Vermont Folk Medicine book by D.C. Jarvis works like a miracle, but it's just Mother Nature at work for us. Apple Cider Vinegar is known to have so many medicinal/healing attributes, so put this one to work for your sore or strep throat. Yep....strep. This will knock the crapola out of the bacteria that's tryin' to knock the crap out of you. Be very sure that you are using real apple cider vinegar, as Heinz now makes an apple cider vinegar "flavored" liquid. (WHY??)
