- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 fresh red chile, finely chopped

- Sprig fresh parsley
Directions
Combine the onions and chiles in a bowl, and then stir in the salt and lemon juice. Let stand in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Strain and use as a gargle. After gargling, chew on a sprig of parsley to freshen breath.
Use the gargle daily, as soon as you feel a sore throat coming on, then spit out rather than swallow.
The gargle is best made and used fresh each day.
