I have used raw apple cider vinegar for many years with great success. I have been skeptical of apple cider vinegar in pill form, but did get some for some purpose (of which I have forgotten! ) so had them on hand.

I recently came down with a virus that included a cough. I have found that once a cough takes hold it, inflammation can creep in and make it all the harder to get rid of. (And bronchitis and pneumonia seem to result more easily.)

I was taking Nyquil to sleep at night. During the day I started taking coconut oil. I just added it to my food. (Stirred into oatmeal, spread onto toast, etc. It is an acquired taste, but worth acquiring! )

Just 'cause, I started taking apple cider vinegar pills because they were handy. Vinegar tea has always been a go-to for cough, but its spring and I didn't want a hot drink.

At first I thought it was my imagination, but I realized that they were helping my cough. I would take 2 pills several times a day.

I had this cold for more than one week now, it started after the thanksgiving holiday party at our church, I had a light fever, low energy, sourness and tiredness, tickling throat, bad cough that started while fever is gone, that is the worst symptom of this cold. (even if it's not covid after two covid tests, but a really bad virus.) I just coughed so much, am afraid of broken of my throat or lungs

I have tried to use diluted ACV to rinse my throat, it feels abit better, so I decide to drink diluted ACV (2tsp in a cups of water), I sipped 2 cups in the evening, it did getting better, but I'm not sure, still want to cough, however, I got some confidence,

I coughed a little during the sleep. the next morning, I felt energetic. I thought I should drink more ACV to completely crush the cough, but now it's getting better and better again, I'm confident tonight I'll be 90% healed, and this is only two days of ACV drinks for the really bad cough. I wish I had done that earlier...

I tried the Apple Cider Vinegar drink yesterday and last night. Sadly it did not help me at all. I have an uncontrolled cough- my ribs and stomach and back muscles and my head and eyes and in such pain from the coughing .

I tried apple cider vinegar with pineapple juice for my cough. It is perfect. It does not taste bad at all, you can smell the Apple Cider Vinegar but can't taste it. So, it's a winner for me.

Acv works great for coughing and phlegm. Have used the 1-2 tblsp tea recipe for years. When my children were young we just added it to some heated apple cider with a little cinnamon. They had no problem drinking their yummy medicine. If you cannot have honey or just hate the taste of the tea, try it in some warmed apple cider instead.

You can always make your own Apple Cider Vinegar, is sooooo easy just get into youtube. You will have endless acv. Always use it with chamomile tea and raw bee honey..once I was so bad form cough that I added 1tsp curcumin plus 1/2 tsp pepper plus two garlics, blended it and voila¡¡ the cough was gone,. I took it very hot....

First I got the cold last week. First time it was a full blown cold - headache, non-stop runny nose, cough every 3-4 minutes, even my eyes were heavy, I thought I'm having some cataracts. Today, actually yesterday was a big relief, and today is the end of the nightmare. It lasted only about 4 days, but felt like I'm a half human.

What I wanted to say is this: what helped me the most was Apple Cider Vinegar. 3-4 times a day I was drinking ACV, full glass of mineral water with maybe 3-4 tablespoons of raw eucalyptus honey. I didn't measure ACV, just poured in.

But I'm drinking it for years, first thing in the morning, then in the middle of the day, and before bed. So it helped.

Then my wife contracted the virus from me and started coughing. Went to EC, and found the recipe with equal parts of raw honey and ACV + cinnamon. Told her this morning when she got up. She made the drink and felt a big relief. Then she had it another couple times and she stopped coughing. AMAZING!!! Thank you!

As usual when I get a cold, my soar throat, then runny nose turns to a very dry larynx and trachea. The phlegm is so stuck that no amount of coughing will get it up and it is very distressing as it feels harder to breathe. I know I should try not to cough and clear my throat as it will make it more inflamed but it's an instinct. I have got better at that. I don't get much sleep as it feels like someone is strangling me and so with not much sleep, all the fear and the coughing, I feel complexity drained. This post viral cough, with inflammation, tightness etc usually last for weeks so I dread the autumn and winter.

I am really into self help and have tried many home remedies and foods - apples, cucumbers and grapefruits being a help but only to a certain degree. I've done all the other things that are well known and seen so many health practitioners about this. Nothing has worked that well.

If you have a chesty cough with catarrh a very effective way to loosen it is mullein leaf tincture. Far and beyond better than any thing I have tried. For this cold it isn't chesty so I haven't tried ACV yet!

Then yesterday I came across this great website and read with amazement all the positive reviews. So I mixed up a drink of 1tbsp ACV (organic with the mother) and 1tbsp of homey in 1/2 glass of warm water. It taste a bit like warm cider. The feeling got fractionally better. Then again later I tired and I coughed up a little for the first time but it still felt pretty bad. Then just before bed I took again and lay straight down - suddenly a lot of productive coughing and then after a long while I actually got some sleep!!! I should have taken it an hour before bed because then the coughing would have been over with!

This morning I woke up and actually coughed so much up which never usually happens. I will carry on taking it.

The biggest frustration is why on earth do doctors not know about this almost miracle cure- think how much suffering they could prevent. Not only does it work but finally I can have peace of mind and heart that there is actually something that will help in the future. For pain you can take a tablet, for asthma an inhaler but until finding this.... - they can send men to the moon but a common and distressing affliction like this - no main stream health professional seems to know the answers!! Please spread the word!

I couldn't eat much when I woke because stomach was sensitive but a little ACV and honey in water made me more nauseous and stopped the cough just a little, but it came back within a 1/2 an hour.

This am I went out and bought some cayenne pepper, ground ginger, and buckwheat honey. I mixed it up with ACV to make a cough syrup. It's helping the cough a little bit but my nose stopped running this afternoon. I just took a teaspoon of the honey and then I'll do the syrup before bed.
