Honey, Cayenne and Garlic Health Uses and Health Benefits

Honey, cayenne and garlic is a natural remedy for bacterial infections affecting the throat, nose and lungs. Each ingredient works together to improve healing and to fight bacteria.^1,2

Honey has natural antibacterial health benefits. It also provides soothing relief for sore throats caused by cold and strep throat by reducing inflammation.

Cayenne is a spice that, when consumed, will cause a boost in blood circulation. Cayenne naturally stimulates the blood vessels, dilating them and bringing them to the surface of the tissue in the throat.

Pressed or crushed garlic releases the herb’s natural antibacterial and antiviral properties. Because the throat tissue has been opened up by the cayenne, it allows garlic’s healing substances to be absorbed more easily by the tissue.

Taking honey, cayenne and garlic multiple times a day can kill of a viral or bacterial infection. It’s an effective traditional home remedy especially known for treating strep throat and cold.^1,2
