Aw man, so weโre coming to the end of peak cold and flu season. Hopefully, youโre going into March healthy ๐ Sore throats have always been the first sign for me that I am getting sick. They hurt, they suck and sometimes take days to go away ๐ข This method may sound crazy and painful but please trust me it works other than any cough drop Iโve ever had โ๐ป Cayenne pepper gargle. Honey is excellent too, especially Manuka honey with high UMF ratings which I could do a whole other post about ๐ฏ What I usually do at the first sign of a sore throat is gargle with cayenne. I use about a 1/4 teaspoon of regular plain ole McCormick's cayenne powder in a shot glass amount of water. Then I gargle for seconds. Depending on how brave I am I either spit it out or swallow ๐ Chase it with a spoonful of honey and repeat whenever your throat feels sore. I say that because usually after the gargle your soreness will subside which is incredible I also really really love this brand of sore throat lozenges. They're a company out of Massachusetts dedicated to making cayenne and honey lozenges. They now have a new elderberry one too ๐ https://www.firedrops.com/ ๐ ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐น ๐น๐ถ๐ธ๐ฒ ๐ ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฎ ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐ฐ๐น๐ฎ๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ผ ๐น๐ฒ๐ ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ท๐๐๐ ๐๐ฎ๐. ๐ฃ๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ, ๐ฎ๐น๐๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐๐๐น๐ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ฐ๐๐ผ๐ฟ,๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ฎ ๐น๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ณ๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐ฎ๐ ๐ต๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ -๐ง๐ต๐ฎ๐ป๐ธ ๐๐ผ๐
