A scratchy sore throat is one of the most irritating parts of being sick. Bacteria, viruses, or even allergies can cause sore throats. Typically, sore throats heal independently, but using a home remedy can help you feel better faster. The antibacterial properties of apple cider vinegar make it an excellent choice for soothing your throat. The alkaline nature of apple cider vinegar kills unwanted viruses and bacteria in the body. It can also thin mucus secretions, making them easier to clear. Try mixing ACV with tea and lemon juice for extra vitamin C and antioxidants. You can also put together apple cider vinegar mixed with salt and warm water. Gargle the mixture for 20 to 30 seconds two to three times a day to relieve a sore throat.
