Apple Cider Vinegar for High Blood Pressure

I became aware of high blood pressure about a month ago and at that time realised it may have been running high for many months. I had had a high reading twice at the dentist but didn't realise it was of concern. My husband monitors his BP so I had him take mine and it was 132/95. That was exactly four weeks ago. I immediately cut salt out of my diet and probably get less than 500 mg of sodium all day. I cut out sugar in most all forms and began eating lots of veg and fruit, I try to swim and do yoga most days or workout at the gym. I started drinking 2 tsp ACV with honey and distilled water 2 - 3 times a day. Initially with the honey my BP spiked high again and I had a day of feeling really bad. I switched to sweetening the vinegar with stevia and after four weeks my bp reading today was 104/68 - it has been steadily decreasing since the first day of altering my lifestyle. It has read as low as 98 /64. The biggest reductions seem to come from the ACV and from hot yoga. I do feel wonderful, best I've felt in years . The ACV has cleared up an annoying allergy that I have had for at least two years now. I have been doing oil pulling too for the past couple weeks and it also seems to help. Not quite sure which is doing which but I know I have more energy , better focus in addition to the bp reduction. I am 51 and have fewer symptoms from menopause as well.

Wow! I do not believe it! Had a double by-pass in 2004 and have been on blood pressure medication and medication for acid reflux for years. After I had some side effects from both medications decided to try ACV and garlic pills. Although my blood pressure without medication was only 135/85 my doctor wanted it lower than that because of health history. There was no doubt in my mind that ACV and garlic would not work! Well, dummy me! It worked and worked big time! I have waited 2 months to post my story because I wanted to be sure. Had appts with two of my doctors yesterday and my blood pressure wast 110/72 and later that day 106/70. The big bonus for me was my acid reflux disappeared. I take 2 tablespoons of ACV in a glass of water and a 6,000mg pill of garlic every morning. Try it! You have nothing to lose. It worked for me and hopefully it will work for you.I also should add that I monitored my blood pressure several times daily to make sure it was working. Good luck

I had really high blood pressure for me 174/114 and I tried 2 tbls ACV in apple juice twice a day for two weeks. have just had my blood pressure tested by the nurse and it is 130/72. She was as amazes as me have now had my blood test done for diabetes and cholesterol will let you know the results when I get them. Thank you for the advice.

My name is Raphaelo. I am 33 years old living in Florida. I have been living with Nasal cancer for almost 7 years. Like most cancer victims, I took chemo and radiation, but they didn't work for me. Before the treatment, I just had a cold and lump in my neck. After the treatment, I become worse. The cancer spread into my throat. My face is swollen, my eyes are puffy, and I have dry mouth and skin. I feel weak and look pale. Last week, I read a post on your site on how apple cider can lower high blood pressure. Since My blood pressure was constantly high, I tried it. Ever since my BP is normal. The first time I try a remedy that works for me so fast. I feel lucky with that site. What physician couldn't do in 7 years, it's done in less than a week.

I do suffer from diabetes for several years. Several weeks ago I went to the doctor and they told me that my cholesterol was quite high 210. I began taking ACV once a day 2 tablespoons a day. In about a month time my cholesterol went down to 160 and blood pressure to 1about 120/80. I noticed that it is suggested to take at least to take the ACV twice to three times a day. Also is the unfiltered product is being used. Has anyone used the capsules? Two tablets do contain 600 mg of ACV. What have been the results of using the capsules? Appreciate comments. Thank you

ACV and honey worked for me. I mixed acv and honey 50/50 with garlic,and took 2 tblsp twice a day. In 2 weeks my blood pressure went from 150/100 to 130/80. I place the 2 tblspoons in dandelion tea, drinking it cold from a champagne glass. I keep a jug of the tea in my fridge. Very economical and handy. It tastes better than champagne!! Probably any tea would do, and I will start using it with green tea too.

My BP was high around 96/146 for several weeks. After reading experiences on this site I started ACV. Now it is normal after 3 weeks of 3 times a day 2tsp ACV with 1tsp honey and glass of water. I also exercise for 1hr daily, feel much better.

Whoops... I have been taking 2 Tbls ACV with 1/8 tsp baking soda two to three times a day. A side beneift that I've noticed has been that my vision has improved. I often have bouts of seeing light distortion, very similiar to how the heat coming off hot pavement looks. This makes it very hard to see and gives me a slight eye headache. Must have been BP related.

Two years ago a doctor tried to put me on high blood pressure medicine and I refused. I have been trying to regulate it with just a few supplements with varied luck. The doctor said it was holding around 146/88 or so. I have found it up in the 150/92 range but only with stress and exhaustion. With the Michael's Blood Pressure Factor (naturopathic) I have kept it down to 134/76 avg. So two nights ago I started sipping the "recipe". I use 1 shot glass of ACV to same of Aloe Vera juice or gel to 8 oz water and a heaping spoonful of raw honey. Today my lowest reading. I was cleaning and sat down to take the reading. It is a battery operated cuff and I do a little deep breaths before starting. My pulse was 79 and my blood pressure (checked it twice) was 123/64 then 118/64... Something is working... In addition I have lost the brain fog and my energy level is starting to climb.

I am a 49 year male that has bordered on high blood pressure for some time. I do not smoke, am not overweight and have always done some level of exercise. I do have a family history of HBP. My last visit to the doctor I had a BP of 157/101. My wife (an RN) confirmed this over the next two days. The instant solution was to put me on drugs. I refused wanting to do some research and see if there was some way I could take control of this problem. I found this web site and with some other info I gathered, I changed a few things: 1. I have been taking ACV - 2 tablespoons with 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda and a bit of water 3 times a day for 3 weeks - hint: plug your nose with your fingers, drink up and don't let go of your nose for about 10 seconds; 2. I have been taking one 6000mcg allicin Garlic pill per day; 3. I take one low dose 81 mg aspirin when I go to bed; 4. I have been walking 30 minutes per day; and 5. I cut salt right out of my diet. I went out bought a good automatic BP monitor and have been keeping a log of my BP with 3 readings per day at my doctors insistence (to prove I should go on medication). My BP as of 10 am this morning is 121/78. I am sure it is a combination of things but thought I should let other skeptics like me know that there is something real about this natural black magic, but you must commit to making a few changes. I will return to my doctor in a month with my BP log and we agreed at that time we will decide if I should go on BP medication. I hope to continue on this path and have one heck of a surprise in store for him. I'll keep you posted.

I take ACV twice a day usually before meals (Lost 36lbs). Around 8:00pm I became very upset and the back of my neck up to my head was throbbing and became sick at my stomach. I pulled up blood pressure on this site and remembered to take ACV and I did two tablespoons within 15 minutes the pain went away and I was very calm and the nausea went away. Organic is the best.

Hello - I just wanted to say how happy I am with the results of the Apple Cider Vinegar for a reduction of my blood pressure. The doctor was telling me that my blood pressure was too high 142/93 and was going to put me on medication if I did not get those numbers down. I did not want to take any medication and Googled your website and read about those that had written in about the positive results they were having with Apple Cider Vinegar - so I decided to try it and after only a month of using my "remedy" of about 1 TBS of _____ Apple Cider Vinegar to 8oz of grape juice 2x per day that my blood pressure went down to 133/82. My doctor was happy and so was I. I also feel a lot less achy in my joints too. So thank you, thank you for this simple remedy - it worked for me!

Going in to the military and I needed to lower my blood pressure. 154/85 at the beginning. Since I started using Apple cider vinager, and taking 1000 mg garlic pills. My blood pressure has dropped to 139/80 which is still on the high side, but it's only been two weeks.

Results of use of ACV: I began to take it after suffering some bouts with acid reflux, I have yet to have another bout since taking it months ago. I was also experiencing problems with allergies such as congestion and runny nose. All of the symptoms are gone. For the pas three years my blood pressure readings had been high like 158/94. My last very recent physical almost floored my physician when it read 128/68. I am convinced.

Apple Cider vinegar brought my blood pressure down in 2 weeks. I always had low normal blood pressure. But when I recently went to the MD for allergy medicine my blood pressure was 140/98! I freaked out, which made it worse. I should have realized something was wrong because my heard had been pounding and racing for a few weeks, and I felt different. I started with a juice fast for 2 days and I drank the cider vinegar 3 times a day for 2 weeks. I really watched what I ate (no added salt) and did a lot af areobic exercise. I went back to my yoga and mediation also. The first 9 days, my pressure was still high. But at the 2 week mark it was back to 113/79. Now I am continuing with the cider vinegar and watching my salt intake. I am eating only healthy foods. I feel great! And NO MEDS!
