Laryngitis is a fairly common illness that cannot be treated with antibiotics unless it is considered chronic. However, many people are not aware that they can use apple cider vinegar for laryngitis treatment.
Since acute laryngitis cannot be treated with antibiotics, many suffers must endure a few weeks of sore throats and hoarse voices. Here are three apple cider vinegar for laryngitis home remedies that you can use to sooth (and hopefully cure) your laryngitis.
1. ACV Drink
Mix:
– 2 tablespoons of raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar.
– 1 tablespoon of honey.
– ½ cup of water.
– Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional). Drink twice a day.
2. ACV Gargle
Mix:
– 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
– 1-2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar.
– Glass of warm water.
Gargle with this mixture three times per day.
The antibacterial properties of the apple cider vinegar kill bacteria in your throat. The cayenne pepper is helpful to soothe mucous membranes around the voice box. Also, if you have a sore throat, this remedy will offer relief.
3. ACV Compress:
Place a thin cloth soaked in apple cider vinegar over your throat. Your skin will absorb the vinegar directly.
Also, to assist with the vinegar absorption you can heat your throat with a towel soaked in hot water.
