How to Use Apple Cider Vinegar to Treat Sinus Infections Naturally

I have had sinus infections since I first became pregnant at the age of 22 (I'm now 36) I have tried EVERYTHING you can possibly think of...antibiotics, STRONGER antibiotics, saline sprays,steam, CAT scans just to be on the safe side....outside of physically banging my head off the walls, I have tried it all. I was at the point where, and not really wanting to do this,I was going to talk to a dr. about having an operation for it. So thinking this is my last chance before I do something drastic I came across this site. Let me tell you....I feel wonderful. I did the ACV all day yesterday and this is the first morning, in a very LONG time, that I did NOT wake up with a massive headache. I can absolutely feel something is working in there.I feel like I may be able to function today. BUT the only problem I am having is that the ACV is giving me horrible gas and I am running to the bathroom within 30 mins of drinking it. Am I doing something wrong? I am only using 1/4 cup ACV and a full glass of water. I haven't seen anyone else write of this problem so just thought maybe I'm not doing it right, not eating enough or doing it too often....Any info on this is appreciated.
My next venture is taking the Black Strap Molassas. I hear THAT does wonderful things too.

Yesterday was day 4 of sinus agony. I wanted to avoid the local clinic because the doctors there treat patience who use home natural cures like neurotic wack-jobs. So instead of subjecting myself to their condescention I logged on to your website and made a ACV cocktial. Tasted nasty but within 15 minutes the pressure disappated so much that my ear popped and I could hear again. Within an hour I was 80% better, by morning I was pain-free. There is still slight congestion but I will continue on with the ACV treatments. I also appreciated the information on sinus sprays and over the counter allergy pills and the side effects. I knew they weren't good but now I have new options to try.

i had a terrible sinus infection and decided to try the apple cider vinegar remedy. I read all the feedback from others and it seemed great. But, i think i might not have did it correctly because i got the worse stomach ache i have ever had in my life, accompanied by nausea and finally vomiting. No one else complained of this so i figured it was me. What do you guys think? ps, did not help with sinus infection either

I started using the acv today at about 10:00 am. I had a cold last week and of course it turned into a sinus infection like it always does. So I said to myself here we go again witha $25 dollar trip to the allergist and a $60 dollar prescrition for anti-biotics. I am tired of sinus infections and hate them worse than any other ailment I've ever experienced. I get about 4 or 5 a year. Anyway, I started a search for natural cures and came across the vinegar cure which I have never heard of before. I immediately tried it right here at work. Luckily we have a cafeteria at work so I told the kitchen staff to give me about a 1/4 cup of the stuff. I gagged it down and wow my sinuses started feeling better almost immediatley. I have been doing the sinus irrigation also and that works great. As a chronic sinus sufferer for about 5 years now I am willing to try anything to get rid of these infections or prevent them without the use of the dreaded anti-biotics. So far so good with the irrigation and acv remedy. I will continue use forever as long as it works.

Also, on another note white vinegar when applied directly to the scalp will cure itching scalp and dandruff. Just get a cup of vinegar and pour on the head let sit for 30 minutes. Rinse it off and do it again everyday until your cured. It works great. Try It!!!

I battle sinus infections about 3 times a year. I just went through a body detox plan for a week to remove chemicals from my body & wouldn't you know, I got a sinus infection on my 7th day of detox. I really didn't want to take antibiotics. I found this site & thought that this was a sign that I didn't need antibiotics. No such luck. I tried the ACV while irrigating with a saline solution. Basically when your mucous is green, it is bacterial. Bacteria multiplies at such a rate i think it would be almost impossible to knock it out of your system. So i am sad to report that i have to go on antibiotics to get some relief. BUT...i will continue with the ACV & irrigation to perhaps speed up the process.

So I developed this awful sinus infection after getting the flu. The pressure was awful with intense bouts of pain when bending down or coughing. After a couple of days I went desperate to the doctor requesting some meds for relief, she prescribed me an antibiotic. I hate antibiotics and try to take them only when inevitable. So I found this website, bought some apple cider vinegar and wow did it work! It made me sneeze a few times after drinking it and my nose became runny. After a couple of days the pain was totally gone! Also I slept as a baby because my nose is was no longer congested. So I would like to spread the word on this great remedy. Before heading for the antibiotics try this first!

I woke up with yet another dreaded sinus infection, my third in 3 months. I quickly went online, and came upon this site. Skeptical, but desperate, I went out to the kitchen, drank some commercial ACV, and went back to bed. By the end of the day, my fever broke, and I slept through the night. The next morning, I was feeling 90% better. I went to my local Mrs. Greens health food store and bought organic ACV w/ the "mother", and continued to drink ACV cocktails that day. By the middle of the day I was back outside walking and enjoying the day. In 1 day- I went from feling ill, sore throat, achy and all- to feeling fine! Amazing! Normally my infections linger for 3-6 days, and knock me off my feet. I normally have a stuffy nose which lasts for days so that I cant breathe well or taste food. Again- I am amazed! I was skeptical- but am now a believer and a ACV fan! - As is my husband. I will continue to use it daily, and hope that I won't have to suffer from any more sinus infections! Thank you

I had an ongoing battle with sinus infections. I hate taking medicine but finally gave in and went to the doctor. It took two different kinds of medicine but after 2 weeks I was cured... Two days later a friend brought over a milkshake and the next day I had the sinus infection back. Out of desperation I googled and discovered earth clinic and the apple cider vinegar remedy.My husband had a gallon of apple cider vinegar with the "mother". That day I took the correct dosage three times and that night I slept great. I have since been pushing it to all of my friends. Oh, and as an added benefit I am seeing a change in my body too!

I am so glad I found your site. I am on my second glass of ACV this morning for what looked like was going to be a nasty sinus infection after a severe allergy attack. The last sinus infection I had was two years ago -- ended up on antibiotics. I am now pregnant and absolutley did not want to go that route. I googled natural remedy for sinus infection as soon as I realized what was happening. Drank my first mixture of ACV yesterday - my fever broke overnight and I felt some relief. Now on my second glass of the day and am feeling so much relief. I actually am liking the taste now, maybe because I can tell how well its working. Thanks!

Love your website - thanks for all the helpful info that you wont find in the mainstrem. I wanted to sing the praises of a couple of these remedys that I tried and they worked!! I tried apple cider vinegar a couple months ago when I had a sinus infection (after having a cold for a couple weeks before the sinus infection set in) and was tired of the headaches and feeling miserable. I took 1/8 cup apple cider vinegar mixed in fruit juice (tried it with water but couldnt stand the taste). I drank this a couple times a day for 10 days and the sinus infection went away. A couple months before that I had a bad head cold - sinusus all stuffed up - felt like there was a river running through my head and could not breathe out of my nose. I drank the tomato tea recommended and it cleared up my nose so I could breathe again. Drank it for about a week a couple times a day and it cured me.

Well, I never made the connection between milk/ice cream or other dairy products but I can tell you this: For over a DECADE I have sufferd from severe throat lesions and sinus problems. I have had culutres,blood work, been on antibiotics countless times. This week I have been very sick. I went back to the "doctor" on Friday and was prescribed Levaquin. After reading how this med could literally kill me and ruin my life I prayed and went searching the internet. I could hardly bare the thought of drinking ACV with my head hurting and my throat as irritated as it was. But, after years of pain I figured anything was worth a try. This morning @ 10am I drank 1/4 cup of ACV in Water. I mean I slammed it. It burned a little but not too bad. I went and laid down and within the hour had some sinus relief for the first time. I took another 1/4 cup dose in water at about 1pm and fell asleep until 3 (I never have been able to sleep during the day). I feel WAY better, still a bit sleepy, but sinuses are almost miraculously better! Thank you so much for this site and this information. I will check back in a few days.

Some like it hot!! I just finished a course of antibiotics for bronchitis and less than a week later got a sinus infection. I was miserable and didn't want to take another course of antibiotics because I'm pregnant and didn't like the idea of being on them in the first place. I spent the first night tossing and turning, miserable from the pressure in my face, the pinchy/stabbing around my eyes, and running to the bathroom to blow my nose. The following day I looked up natural remedies and came across this site. I've heard of ACV's therapeutic qualities, but this was the first time I heard of this. Since I've prepared this as a tea before I immediately boiled some chamomile tea, dropped 2 Tbs in a 16 oz. mug, added honey and lemon and drank it down. Within minutes I could breathe, and within the hour my sinuses felt so much better that I actually felt like I was going to be okay again. I did it again before bed and slept through the night! This is my thrid day and no pain, drip, or pressure! So to all those that can't stand the tast but want the therapy, try it hot!

I had the classic pain and pressure in my sinus area (pain in my teeth and around my cheekbones). I leave for Disneyland in 2 days, and I can't spend that time at the doctor's office! I had already tried sudafed to no avail. Like everyone, I googled Sinus Pain Remedy and found this website. It took about an hour for me to notice a difference after drinking some ACV and water (I did 1/4 cup in 8 oz water). I used Heinz ACV because I had it on hand. I repeated it twice yesterday (finally adding some honey because the taste IS pretty bad). This morning, I have no more pain, and just a little pressure left. THANK YOU!

I recently had taken antibiotics for a sinus infection and ended up with a male yeast infection with severe external blistering and irritation. Found your website and read about acv for sinus and yeast. Not willing to go back on meds that caused this nasty thing I started on 2 tbsp organic acv and 1/4 tsp baking soda as internal and straight acv for external cleansing of blistered area .Did this 3 to 4 times daily. It burned for a few seconds but then all itching and burning stopped .In 4 days the blistering and irritation were gone and have not returned. Am still using acv to finish curing this sinus infection and other diabetes related problems also noticed better & easier digestion.Thanks for a great batch of info Highly recommend this site to all.
