An at home cure for Strep Throat from instructables.
Enjoy!
This is a tried-and-true (by our family and friends–and many others, I’m sure) natural remedy for CURING strep throat at home (including those who suffer from recurring strep throat).
This is also beneficial for ANY bacterial or viral infection that can manifest itself in the throat/mouth. BONUS! :)
NOTE: Each ingredient in this concoction has MANY more healing effects then just this one (and I’ve listed a lot of those out in the last few steps of this instructable). So be sure to stick around to see those!
INGREDIENTS:
*3 cloves fresh garlic or 3 teaspoons minced garlic
*1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
*Raw or pure honey to taste
ADDITIONAL INGREDIENT:
*Apple Cider Vinegar
DIRECTIONS:
1. Peel and crush your fresh garlic cloves (either with a mortar and pestle or a hand-held garlic mincer) and put them in a small bowl or simply put your pre-minced, jarred garlic in a small bowl.
2. Mix in a half teaspoon of cayenne pepper. (Don’t worry about it being too spicy, the honey really dulls it down!)
3. Mix in your honey to taste.
THE REMEDY:
Simply eat 1/2 teaspoon of this concoction every 30 minutes. Make more of this recipe as needed.
NOTE: A large amount of garlic can potentially upset your stomach when eaten this regularly (especially if you’re not used to eating it), so make sure it’s only 1/2 teaspoon (no less than 1/4 teaspoon). You can reduce the frequency of how often you take it in a day, but make sure it’s at least with every meal and snack. If you have an aggressive level of strep, the reduction of consumption could result in it only working partially, so just take that into consideration.
My kids (ages 5-10 at the time) took this, too, and at the same amounts as listed here. This just goes to show that the flavor is definitely NOT too intense and it’s safe for all ages!
ADDING THE BIG GUNS:
In addition to eating this concoction every 30 minutes–if you really want to kick this strep to the curb in a hurry–gargle apple cider vinegar 3 times per day, too.
