This medication has been relieving me from throat-related illnesses for over 20 years—perhaps even longer.
Flu and Cold Treatment Using Lugol’s Solution
If you are currently sick, it’s essential to prepare the following remedy:
- Dissolve 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar and 1 teaspoon of honey in a cup of boiling water.
- Add just 1 drop of Lugol’s pharmaceutical iodine solution.
- Drink the mixture in the evening after your meal.
Take this remedy daily for 10–15 days. Not only will it help you eliminate the illness, but it will also strengthen your immune system.
For Sore Throat
If you feel your tonsils are starting to get inflamed or you’re experiencing early symptoms of a throat infection, treat the area directly with Lugol’s solution. However, do not mix it with water during this application.
Of course, Lugol’s has a very unpleasant taste and can sting, especially when your throat is already sore. But this solution is so effective that you’ll be willing to endure the discomfort for the relief it brings.
