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 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.

PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS POST! I have had sinus problems all my life. I go to the Doctor at least 3 times a yr. Last Feb. I got a sinus infection, took the meds the Doc gave, 15 days after I ran out of meds the infection was coming back. I have been to the Doc 5 times this year, can't get rid of the infection! After reading this, I tried it on 12/06/06 just drinking it. the next morning I was clear as a bell and amazed. This infection I had was going into my eyes and ears as well, it has to be one of the worst I've had. Today is 12/08/06, in two days I feel 90% better. I have one Q. how many days should I drink this, or how many days can I drink it? Sorry, 3 Q. if I drink it alot, is there any harm it will do? Last Q. once I am clear, will the infection come back? or does the ACV kill the infection? I am almost afraid to stop drinking it,,lol,,it works that good! I mixed ACV with cranberry apple juice and a little cranberry grape juice, it taste kinda like wine. Thank you people for all that you do.

I have been experiencing sinus infections for years and years. I live in Florida and have been told by an allergist that I have numerous allergies (according to his tests). I have take antibiotics, nasal sprays, over the counter and prescription drugs to combat my sinus issues which have continued to make me miserable. Recently I developed yet another sinus infection, painful, stuffy head, difficulty breathing, etc. In desperation I began searching for natural cures. Thanks to your site and article on ACV, in just 3 short days I feel miraculously normal. Thank you God for your wonderful people that care enough to post this site. I also have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia so I am going to use ACV long term and see if it helps, is so I will post more feedback. Thank you for being there : ) Terri from Florida (age 43)

i had lived with what i thought was a migraine for four days, on day five--my sinuses were rock hard. i thought i would go to urgent care, but decided to go online to see if there were any natural cures. i tried the 1/2 cup acv and 1/2 cup water; and also the acv steaming and i put colloidal silver in my nasal spray. the nasal spray and the acv steam made my sinuses burn for 45 minutes--but about an hour later--i got relief. i decided to do the cure 3 times today. here i sit 9 hours later--yet to do my last treatment--and i feel absolutely normal. my husband just said--"hey, where's your ice pack?" I've had one on my head, face and neck for five days! I am so thankful for this website and I encourage anyone with a sinus problem to give this a try. Just drinking the acv mixture didn't do the trick for me--but using the acv steam and nasal treatment with the acv drink surely has proven to be the answer for me. thanks!

I have suffered from Sinus and ear infections for the last 3 years. The last period began Dec 24/2005. Since that time I have been on 7 weeks of Antibiotics, plus 300 MG of Suphedrine and 400 -800 MG of Ibuprofen daily. I gave up on the antibiotics Feb 19, but continued with Suphedrine and Ibuprofen until March 10. I began breathing over pot of hot water mixed with vicks and nasal rinse with saline around Feb. 1 2006. The pot/towel and nasal rinse alleviated some of the pressure and I would get some drainage, yellow/green thick mucus, but no improvement. On the morning of march 10 I was fed up. I went online to look for a cure using

hydrogen peroxide. My mother had used this in my ears as a child to fight infections successfully and I had done the same to my boys. I then ran across your site. I read about the

Apple Cider Vinegar. I remembered I had bought a bottle for some reason over a year ago and immediately poured 4 oz and mixed with 12 oz water. I then drank the whole thing right away. I was astonished. Within 15 - 30 minutes I could feel the draining of the sinus cavities. My daily headache never materialized. I drank another 4 oz of ACV mixed only with 6 oz of water later after 6 PM. I also used a 240 ML bottle and mixed about half Hydrogen peroxide half water and began a warm nasal rinse. Suffice it to say it stung for about 20-30 seconds, but the immediate flow that began was incredible. It is now about 36 hours since I first started the ACV and I can report I feel better than I have in 75 days. No headaches, no pressure, I can feel the mucus thinned and draining and I believe that with another 24/48 hours I will have no more symptoms. This site and info was amazing. I plan on continuing daily ACV. With the major allergy season beginning now here in the South, I am expecting that I will NOT suffer at all this season. Thanks so much. I will pass the word on, especially to my doctor.

I don't know why I've never searched the net before for a cure, but I did this morning, because I was desperate. My Doctor has given me several things over the years to help w/ almost chronic sinus problems. Some things have worked, but only for a short time. Today, I bought some All Natural Apple Cider Vinegar. I poured an unspecified amount in a bottle of Aquafina and took a sip... Right there in store's the parking lot. I was amazed that within 10 seconds or so of my first two sips, I could actually breathe through both nostrils for the first time in 3 days. I was utterly amazed. Thank you whoever figured this one out... You are my hero.
