Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar (optional)
Instructions
Heat 1 cup of water until it is warm but not too hot to touch. The temperature should be comfortable for gargling.
In a clean glass or cup, combine the warm water with 0.5 teaspoons of salt and 0.5 teaspoons of baking soda. Stir thoroughly until both dissolve completely.
Add 1 teaspoon of honey to the mixture and stir until it is fully blended. Honey helps to coat and soothe the throat.
If desired, add 0.5 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar for extra antibacterial properties and mix well.
Allow the solution to cool slightly if it feels too warm, ensuring it is safe for gargling.
Take a sip of the solution and gargle at the back of your throat for 20-30 seconds. Spit the liquid out after gargling. Repeat until the entire mixture is used.
For best results, use this gargle solution 2-3 times a day, especially in the morning and before bedtime.
