Cider vinegar cures sore throats

16/04/14

Gargling with natural cider vinegar goes a long way to curing the misery of sore throats. Last week, I was hit by a debilitating bout of summer flu; you know the symptoms, rapid body temperature changes, running nose and painful sore throat.

I mixed a glass of Somerset Cider Vinegar half-and-half with water and gargled every couple of hours. The germs from the infection cannot survive an acidic environment and the relief was almost instant.

I guess you could also mix your favourite apple cider vinegar drink with honey and warm water and it would have the same effect.

It might not affect the flu but taking away the sore throat was a major step in the right direction! I must admit, that the vinegar also seemed to have a beneficial effect on the running nose.
