Apple Cider Vinegar for Allergies

Thank you for this site. I have a very high insurance deductible and going to the doctor cuts into my food bill! I have been sick for three weeks and the quality of my life has suffered. I went to the doctor who told me take sudafed. I did and it helped very little. Today I woke up from a nap and just started crying. I just couldn't stand the pain and how tired I feel constantly. I tried the ACV and it worked at first then stopped. I then tried it by adding baking soda and it was amazing. I hope it continues to work. For now at least I can get some sleep. I love this site.

I started using apple cider vinegar when I read about all the allergy cures on earthclinic. My pollen allergies are all gone due to a combination of some local honey and 2 Tbsp acv every morning mixed in a glass of water. For my cat and dog (dander) allergies, I take an extra dose of vinegar before I go to someone's house with one of those animals. I still suffer from the dander allergies, but on a much much smaller scale. They are absolutely nothing like they used to be. I'm hoping that they will soon be gone.

Apple Cider worked to relieve/eliminate my seasonal sinus allergies. At first I had to take ACV in water 3x per day. Then I gradually reduced it to once a day, and now I take it once a day only 3-5 times per week. I am having no sinus symptoms this year. I would call this a cure!

Hello fellow allergy sufferers! I'm one of those rarely writing folks, but I had to say that the ACV worked for my allergies! I've been suffering ever since I got to Louisiana (a matter of 15 years! ) and this years was the worst, with the itchy ears, itchy nose that makes you want to claw your face off, and watering eyes. I was quite desparate up until Monday afternoon when I took my first two tablespoons of _____s ACV in some water. By Monday night, I had about 90% relief, and now (Wed morning), I can say I get the brief nose itch about twice a day, but nothing like before. I feel great and I'm going to spread the news!

Magic!! Thanks for spreading this info. I was desperately seeking a cure for my allergies.. after not being able to sleep through the night for the past few days due to pollen allergy. First, thinking all ACVs were all the same, I bought the regular kind (pasteurized & filtered). I felt better hours after taking the first shot. I slept through the night that night for the first time in a week.. I bought the unpasteurized one the next day.. I think both cure my allergy. I told everybody around me and so far, all of them cured from allergies, and these people no longer have to take allergy medication anymore. I love ACV!!!

Ive always had a dry nose, but it never really bothered me. Then at the beginning of the spring I developed awful allergies. In New Mexico we have some of the highest pollen rates in the US. I was sleeping about 12 hours a day and was constantly nauseous for 2 weeks. I thought I was just really sick and since I don't have insurance I went to my college health clinic and was told it was allergies. They told me to get some over the counter drugs to fix this. And since I'm cheap I decided to do some research. I found earth clinic and tried ACV. Two days later no allergies. I was amazed of how well it worked and suggested it to a few of my co- workers who also loved it. At first I tried the heinz which worked and later on decided to opt for Brag. Now I only take it about every 2 weeks. Thanks Earth clinc for keeping me off drugs.

FYI, I'm having great results with ACV for my severe allergies - the first relief I've had in days. THANKS! And one easy way to ingest it is on a healthy salad. I mix ACV with grapeseed oil or EVOO (and sometimes a little honey) and pour it over salad greens. Its tasty - doesn't feel like 'medicine' - a healthy meal - AND curing my allergies! I'm also going to try some Molasses remedies and HP remedies...

I'm also surprised no one has mentioned active-culture yogurt as a remedy..

For at least a week I couldn't sleep for waking up coughing like crazy. Unable to breath thru my nose. On Monday 3/26/07 I went to the Doctor, he said it was allergies. Told me to do clairtin and flonase. I did that for 2 days, very little relief. I'm allergic to decongestants so that wasn't an option. Found your website Tuesday afternoon and started acv 1/2 acv and 1/2 water. That night I only woke up once. What a differance it made. Its now 3/30/07. I'm sleeping thru the night and the stuff that is comming out of my head is really gross. But I can breath. I will continue this 3 or 4 times a day until I'm clear. Thanks a million!

I am 38 yrs. old and had developed the most irritating allergies... Sneezing and coughing so badly, that I would have to take benedryl for relief. I wasn't sure if they were due to the extreme amounts of pollen, my dusty house, or my cat. But, I knew I couldn't live like this. So, I tried the usual otc remedies- and moved on to the "harder stuff", (Zyrtec). But if I missed a day-BOOM! the allergies were in full force again. I knew I had not always been this way and did not plan to stay on meds. the rest of my life. I was determined to find a natural cure for this mess. That is when I found this site. I never realized that Apple Cider Vinegar is so beneficial for this. I knew it helped for colds. But, as I grew older I forgot the staples of life- I guess you'd say. And let the worldly ways persuade me into thinking medication cures all. Well- I was wrong! The A.C.V. worked!! I haven't sneezed anymore. I take a 2 tlb.dose cup in the morning and one at night. But even when I forget one, I don't go back to sneezing and coughing immediately like when I would miss my med. for allergies. It is truly amazing and I feel soooo much better than when I am on meds. God put nature here to benefit us, not to harm us. It is only natural that we should use the resources we are given. Thank you for providing this information to people like me. I am so grateful.

I'd had (been diagnosed with) bad allergies for almost a year, & was on doctor-prescribed pills (Nexium, Allegra, Nasonex) that long. The symptoms were just as bad, I was dried out, my blood pressure was up, & I experienced shortness of breath. I stopped the drugs & started vinegar. It was a total miracle within a few days. Unfortunately, I also have acid reflux, GERD & was hoping it would be cured, as well. I stopped my PPIs (Nexium, Aciphex). The ACV seemed to work for a couple of days, but then I started suffering worse than I ever have. I'm afraid that it's the vinegar, so I don't know what to do. Please, does anyone have any suggestions?

I suffered repeatedly every spring and often in the fall also form sinus infections and severe allergic symptoms. I would have terrible headaches, face pain and runny nose with itchy eyes and sneezing. However after discovering your website and starting an ACV treatment I have yet to need an antibiotic. Yeah ,no more medicine head only a clear head!

I am a 29 year old male, who has had nasal allergies since the age of 5. My mother told me a long time ago to give Apple Cider Vinegar a try, but I never believed that it would work. I have been on nasal allergy medications for years, and about two weeks ago, I just got fed up with pumping all of these chemicals into my body. I decided to seek a natural solution, that's when I ran across your website, and read about the Apple Cider Vinegar solution that my mother told me about. I cannot believe the results. Apple Cider completely eliminates my allergies, and it costs much less than what I used to pay for my nasal allergy medications. Doctors are trained nowadays to prescribe their patients non-natural medications, although there are many natural solutions to a lot of illnesses. Just think of it, how did people cope with illnesses prior to giant drug companies? They used natural remedies.

I am amazed at how acv cleared up my allergies. I have suffered with bad sinus problems for years and have taken every over the counter and prescription drugs made. ACV worked it just a few days and I only had 1 headache.

I read on this website about ACV remedy for allergy. I am allergic to certain food and wanted to find a natural cure rather than the nasal sprays. I read quite a bit about yeas and also about its taste and side effects and was a big freightened to try it out, nevertheless I wanted to try it. As someone has mentioned about adding ACV to salad, I added 1 tbsp of CV to cucumber and onions with some salt and pepper and ate after 15 mins. Wow, the taste was sooo good, especially because I like sour things, rather than sweet things. I drank the left over juice and wanted more. I did it for 2 days and loved the taste. But as most people and this website recommends 2 tbsps dissolved in 16 oz water, today I tried this method, but with just about 1 tbsp, as I am just beginner and wants to test myself against any of the side effects people had mentioned. I must admit I didn't quite like the taste, especially because I don't like apples.

Can anyone tell me if I will get the same results if I add ACV to the salad and eat it, rather than dissolve in water? I prefer the salad method...I love the left over ACV with salt and pepper!!!

These past few years, I have begun suffering more and more with allergies year-round. I've found that I am allergic to dust, pollen, mold, carpet fibers, some foods - name it, and if it is similar to the things I've listed, I'm probably allergic to it! I have tried many OTC and prescription meds for my allergies, and, here lately none of them seem to work good for me - some don't work at all!!! I am skeptical about taking anymore medications for my allergies, so, I am going to try the ACV remedy, and, hopefully it will give me the relief I've been searching for. Thanks for having this website, and, it may be awhile, but I will keep you all posted as to whether the ACV works for me or not.
Happy sinuses!
