Sore and strep throats can be extremely painful, making it difficult to eat, drink, or even talk. Gargling with a homemade solution can help to soothe the pain and inflammation, and may even help to kill bacteria that is causing the infection. This article provides three different recipes for homemade sore throat gargles, using ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen. The first recipe is a simple salt water gargle, which is effective at killing bacteria and reducing inflammation. The second recipe is a honey and lemon gargle, which is also effective at killing bacteria and soothing the throat. The third recipe is an apple cider vinegar gargle, which is thought to help kill bacteria and reduce inflammation. All three of these recipes are easy to make and can be used several times a day as needed.

SORE-AND-STREP-THROAT-AWAY GARGLE
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??)
