Fire Water
Home Remedy For Cold And Flu
Particularly Healing For Sore Throats
Recipe:
1/2 cup Boiling Water
1 tsp. Cayenne Powder
1 tsp. Salt
1/2 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
Mix cayenne pepper, salt, and boiling water. Stir until salt is dissolved. Add apple cider vinegar. Take 1 tablespoon every 15-20 minutes until flu is gone. To treat a sore throat gargle each dose before swallowing.
This is my favorite remedy for sore throats. I have used it many times. The ingredients are simple and effective. I always have them on hand, unlike the ingredients for Decongestant Tea, which are a little more specialized. I, also, really like how effective the Decongestant Tea is, but I don't always have all the ingredients.
This recipe is taken from Be Your Own "Doctor" by Rachel Weaver. I love this book! I highly recommend you order yourself a copy! Rachel Weaver is a midwife and master herbalist. She has lots of experience and advice on treating common ailments naturally. I purchased her book from Nature's Warehouse. Their store is in Kidron Ohio but you can buy the book on their website. Here is a link.

Exactly what I needed, thanks! I have a bad sore throat, so I’ll give this recipe a try. I might try making some Congestion tea soon too. :)
I can see why it’s called “Fire Water.” it’s pretty hot! :D
Hello Amy,
It is pretty hot! I always think the heat is soothing when I have a sore throat. I hope you will get better from your sore throat soon. I know it can be painful! (Hugs)
Thanks! I’m actually feeling a lot better today, and my sore throat is pretty well gone! I keep drinking the Fire Water, and taking Elderberry syrup and it has made a big difference. Thanks again for sharing this post! <3
I am glad to hear that you are feeling better today, Amy! :) Your welcome for the recipe. Fire Water and Elderberry Syrup sound like a good team for fighting illness. <3
