I had the ETS surgery too and have started to sweat profusely on my chest and back. Do you still take the same dosage 3X a day to combat the sweating? Have the results maintained their effectiveness?Replied By Ckn1234 (Nyc, Ny) on 08/30/2009
I live in NYC too. What brands of ACV and Honey do you use and where can I get them too?? THANKS!Replied By Anonymous (New York, Ny ) on 09/10/2009
Hi - I wanted to reply to the 2 people who wrote to my post about the apple cider vinegar honey drink helping my sweating... definitely try it, esp. if you have had ETS surgery (horrible surgery with horrible complications! Don't ever get it if you have hyperhidrosis (or anything else for that matter) - the debilitating side effects and sweating in other areas of your body will be even worse!!)You have to get a certain type of Apple Cider vinegar - I cannot mention brands on this website but if you go to any health food store and ask for the non-acidic type of apple cider vinegar that is a brownish color with a yellow label on it they should know what you are talking about. Other vinegars can be harmful to you -they are too acidic!
The honey has to be a thick, coagulated honey that you have to scoop out. The best place to get this honey is at a health food store. Most supermarkets carry the thin, syrupy kind of honey and that type of honey mixed with apple cider vinegar did not work for me for some reason. Manuka honey is a thicker honey that also worked for me, although I think the thick, coagulated lighter colored honey worked best. If you decide to try the Manuka honey, get 1 with a low UMF# because the higher ones are too powerful (in terms of killing bacteria) for everyday use.
I hope you guys have success with the drink!

Hi ANONYMOUS...I started taking drink after your first post, but before I read your second post, and like you said, it didn't work with the syrupy style honey. I'm now onto the thick, raw, organic honey and just started this morning. Do you have a specific way of making this concoction that you could share?
I had this surgery in early 2005 and my life hasn't been the same since. I'd give almost anything to take the sweating away and feel 'normal' again.
Thanks so much!

Hi Bb - It's good that you got the right kind of honey. I make the apple cider vinegar honey drink 3X a day on an empty stomach - about a half hour or so away from meals. The third drink I have at the end of the night before I go to bed - it stops the night sweats).
I don't know how much it matters to have it on an empty stomach but I had read somewhere that it did.
I drink it with a straw - the vinegar can wear away at the enamel on teeth so it is important to so this. Sorry if I forgt to mention this before. I also try to brush my teeth right afterwards.
I hope these suggestions help!

Had the ETS clipping and suffer from Compensatory sweating....This really works? And does it work when the weather is above 70 degrees? Any help would be greatly appreciated.Replied By Dan (Brisbane, Qld, Australia) on 03/22/2010
I had ETS surgery many years ago for excessive facial blushing and sweating and suffer from compensatory sweating on my back and chest as a side affect of the surgery. Although I have gotten used to theses affects they still do make life a little difficult at times and it can be quite uncomfortable when the weather is humid.
I have tried many different methods from antiperspirants, sage, magnesium and an e-book about loofahs and avoiding soaps. I did find some minor relief from the sage though, but still not effective enough in high humidity. Since finding this post I am delighted to give this remedy a try. I have purchase the organic vinegar and raw honey (which is the thick almost solid type of honey) which I am starting today.
I have one question as to how do you mix these 2 ingredients together as the honey is very thick.
Can you use hot water to break down the honey when mixing or will this reduce the effectiveness of the honey?
(Knowing the difference between raw and normal honey being heated and filtered)
All feedback will be appreciated.
I will post again a later date to determine how effective this treatment has been for me.
Good luck!

Did the apple cider and honey work for you yet?Replied By Dan (Brisbane, Qld Australia) on 04/04/2010
As the weather is starting to cool down here in Australia I'm not totally convinced of whether this works. I have done some exercise during this period and would have to say the amount of sweat is still rather excessive. I would also like to add that i have been mixing this drink using hot water to dissolve the honey so I'm not sure if this affects the efficacy of the honey as stated in my first post. I will post again at a later date. I wish I had found this earlier so I could have tried it in the middle of summer here, which is very humid.Replied By Sophh (Perth, Australia) on 05/31/2010
when you mix the apple cider vinegar and honey, do you mix it in like a bowl or do you add water? im not sure how to take this as i raed that you should dilute apple cider vinegar before using? :DReplied By Brandon (Mooresville, Nc) on 10/21/2010
Everyone mentions using non-acidic apple cider vinegar but I cannot find any products that say that specifically. All I see is an organic vinegar that contains the "mother". Anyone have ideas on specific brands or where to buy this product?

In regards to brushing your teeth right after drinking the mixture, because the acidity wears away at your teeth it is better not to brush right after drinking. Instead drink something like milk or rinse with a ph balancing rinse to balance the ph in your mouth. Brushing right after is going to wear away at your enamel worse.Replied By Angela (Seattle, Wa) on 04/16/2011
Reply to the thread on ACV and honey for sweating:
I have seen an improvement since using this therapy. Recently my feet had started sweating, which is very abnormal for me. For years I have been able to wear women's dress shoes with no odor or sweating. Since using this ACV honey I have seen an improvement and less sweating.
In addition, I am taking ACV for my seasonal allergies which are almost nonexistanct while I keep taking it.
For those of you who don't like the taste of ACV, I will offer this encourgement. I used to HATE the taste of it, really couldn't stand it. However, when I know something is good for me and makes me feel good I am able to build up a taste for it. Now I truly love the taste of it because I associate my improved digestion and allergy relief with it. Give it a try, and see if you can trick your brain into loving it too.

The health food store I contacted acted like I was crazy when I asked about "non-acidic apple cider vinegar" they told me that was the point of any vinegar is the acid. So I need help finding this brand of ACV that is brownish in color with a yellow label. I am ready to try anything for relief. ThanksReplied By Trey (Jaxn, Wy) on 05/29/2011
I think you are looking for Organic apple cider vinegar with "Mother" - that is what makes the liquid look brownish and milky - it is not filtered and clear to look through. The "mother" is what makes it so healthy. I was pleasantly surprised to find it mixed in woth all the other vinegars at my local Smith's grocery store. The yellow label is for the "_____" organic brand. You could ask for it by name and find it pretty easily I am guessing. Good luck. Be sure to locate "organic with mother" aka, not filtered.Replied By Mikola (Cincinnati, Oh) on 05/29/2011
You can usually find it in the organic section of the major grocery stores (Krogers, Stop and Shop). I don't like to brag, but the brand most recommended is another word for "boasts".Replied By Blanche (Iberia Parish, Louisiana) on 05/30/2011

I'm on day three of ACV with thick honey. My sweating is out of control. Sugar (honey) has always made me sweat and 4-6 teaspoons a day is WAY more than I usually eat. Yet, I was still hoping this was going to be the perfect cure. Did it get better before it got worse for anyone? Should I keep going for a week? Help :(Replied By Mmsg (Somewhere, Europe) on 07/28/2011
Footsweater: try Apple Cider Vinegar without any honey. maybe with a pinch of baking soda or even without it.Replied By Footsweater (Brooklyn, Ny) on 07/29/2011
Thanks so much for the quick reply. I will try that!Replied By Al...needs Help (Laurel, Md) on 07/30/2011
I just found this site today. I have excessive sweating that leads to odor. I tried the baking soda which works when it is not too hot, but my armpits are darken and sore. I was at a baseball game and I was so sweaty and stinky too.
The site mentions magnesium for excessive sweating and ACV and baking soda for odor. I will go get some magnesium in the morning. Check out some of the other postings.
What can I do about the baking soda rash?

Just had my first drink of the ACV and honey, not crazy about the taste and made my stomach a little upset. Is there any way to help with stomach upset or taste of mixture?Replied By Citygirl27 (Richardson, Tx, Usa) on 06/13/2012
B from Lakeview, and others who just can't get around the taste - try adding a dash of cinnamon or stevia to your ACV. It will taste much more palatable then. I think it is yum.
