Apple cider vinegar has not cured my sinus infection. It may have made it worse. I hate my life.

I have suffered recurrent sinus infections for at least 12 years now and have always taken antibiotics and decongestants that made me ill but I would endure the illness to geet rid of the infection, well that is until it landed me in the hospital with severe dehydration. The next visit to the doctor, he put me on almost the same medicines and after taking 3 doses, I ended up looking for a natural method to cure a sinus infection. When I heard of ACV twice a day, I thought, what can it hurt. Used grocery store brand for three days and saw some improvement, so I then purchased some Organic with the Mother and in 5 days I have almost completely cleared up all my sinus congestion so I can sleep well and I have also noticed other benefits such as more energy and some weight loss. I really wish I had opened up my mind 10 years ago. Great and Thanks for the information on your site.

ACV treated my sinus infection! I came across this website looking for a treatment for my recurrent sinus infections that no antibiotics ever took care of, and based on all the reviews I tried the ACV treatment. It worked in ONE DAY!! I can't believe it, because I am a doctor, and am a little wary of home remedies. I did the 2 tbsp in 8 oz of water, and in one day I didn't have as much sinus pressure, and by the second day the constant drainage from the infection had stopped, and my migraines which I have had on and off for years also have not returned. In addition, my bad breath from the infection is gone, and I don't have to constantly be chewing gum anymore! I definitely will be doing this treatment everyday for a very long time, and I've found if you eat just a little bit of bread or crackers with the ACV you don't get heartburn. To anyone who's suffering from a sinus infection, just try this, it doesn't cost you much money at all, and if you've suffered from sinus infections as much as I have, you owe it to yourself to give this a shot!!! Best wishes to all!

I tried the apple cider vinegar remedy because for the past year I have been on several antibiotics for sinus infections. The first dose cleared me completely. I now use it twice a day and I have begun adding cayenne and honey to my oatmeal in the morning which tastes like a gourmet thai dish and has reduced the inflammation that I was having in my face due to the sinus issues. Thank you!

I am SO excited! I have had a sinus infection now for about a week which came on as a result of a common cold. And to top it off, I'm pregnant, so taking medication is out of the question for me. Of course, that's not why I'm excited. I'm excited because I found this website that told me about apple cider vinegar. I have been drinking 2 Tbsps twice a day now for 2 days followed by 2 glasses of water (about 16 oz). I tell you, my sinus infection is GONE. This makes me so happy because I have suffered from chronic sinus infections for over 7 years now. I have taken many different antibiotics and gone through many different procedures to help alleviate them, but nothing has worked as well or as FAST as this totally natural remedy. I wish I would have looked this up sooner! I also delved a little surther into the website and found a recipe for Tomato Tea which I've been drinking before going to bed. It tastes pretty good, actually, and I really think it helps to clear my nasal passages. I also have been oil pulling as the website suggests. I don't know if that's doing any good, and it really turns my stomace, so I don't know if I'll continue with it, but I will as long as I can. Thank you SO much for letting the world know about this stuff.. it's important! I have been telling all my friends.

Yesterday was day 4 of sinus agony. I wanted to avoid the local clinic because the doctors there treat patience who use home natural cures like neurotic wack-jobs. So instead of subjecting myself to their condescention I logged on to your website and made a ACV cocktial. Tasted nasty but within 15 minutes the pressure disappated so much that my ear popped and I could hear again. Within an hour I was 80% better, by morning I was pain-free. There is still slight congestion but I will continue on with the ACV treatments. I also appreciated the information on sinus sprays and over the counter allergy pills and the side effects. I knew they weren't good but now I have new options to try.

I drank 16 oz of water with 2 tbs of ACV and the next day I had nausea too. No vomiting yet, but I don't have it in me to drink another concoction feeling so nauseated.

So I developed this awful sinus infection after getting the flu. The pressure was awful with intense bouts of pain when bending down or coughing. After a couple of days I went desperate to the doctor requesting some meds for relief, she prescribed me an antibiotic. I hate antibiotics and try to take them only when inevitable. So I found this website, bought some apple cider vinegar and wow did it work! It made me sneeze a few times after drinking it and my nose became runny. After a couple of days the pain was totally gone! Also I slept as a baby because my nose is was no longer congested. So I would like to spread the word on this great remedy. Before heading for the antibiotics try this first!

About 5 weeks ago, I started having some pretty severe tooth pain in my left upper mouth. Less than a week after it started, the pain moved further and further up into my temples, cheek and eyes. I was able to treat the pain with just ibuprofen at first, however, by the end of the first week, it wasn't enough. For the rest of the period, my day started the same... 3 ibuprofen, 2 tylenol and 2 naproxin sodium tablets everyday. Then I had to add decongestants, allergy meds, and my usual daily multivitamin. On week 3, I went to the doctor. She told me it was a sinus infection, and put me on round one of antibiotics. No luck. On week 4, she put me on another antibiotic. Helped a bit, but I was still getting intense headaches of an evening in my left temple, cheek and behind the eye.

At the beginning of week 5, I found this site. I'm now 2 days into the ACV treatment, and can already tell an amazing difference. I've also done two sinus rinses so far with a warm salt water/baking soda mix, carefully injected with a nasal bulb.

For the first time in a month, I started my day today with my multivitamin and an extra vitamin C tablet (500 mg)... AND NOTHING ELSE. There is an occasional twinge of pain, but I am breathing clearly, and my head doesn't feel like it's in a vise.

After reading the other wonderful effects of ACV, I'm going to keep on trucking with it, and see if I can shed a few pounds to boot.

I am taking 1/8 cup of ACV, with 1/2 tsp of baking soda, water, and a tad bit of honey for taste, in an 8 ounce cup, 3x daily.

I will post a follow up in a few weeks. This will be a trial for my family. My wife suffers from several of the ailments that ACV is reported to help with, and if I experience results in this 1 week trial, I'm going to put her on it as well! Thank you for being here, EarthClinic!

I am so happy I found your web site! I was feeling horrible from a sinus infection that I had. Really bad headache, pressure around the sinuses and eyes, and constant runny nose. Clear liquid. I saw your information about drinking 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar with 8 oz. water and started it around 3 pm. I was actually able to breathe, cough less and slept last night! I feel so much better today! It totally worked for me.

I have been fighting a sinus infection for probably 1 month and did not know it. I would get sick for a couple of weeks then feel a little better. I took 1 dose today of the Cider and both nasal passages have cleared a lot, but still have some mucus. I stopped taking my meds that the doctor had given me. Should I continue talking the meds?

This stuff is amazing. I mixed 1/4 cup of ACV with water and used fruit punch as a chaser. It has only been 10 minutes and I feel better. The pressure is almost gone and I can breathe again. Thank you so much. I hate taking medicine so any natural cure I can find that works is amazing.

I came upon your site while in a desperate attempt to rid myself of an awful sinus infection. I do think that it came from the consumption of ice cream. I had several days of flu like symptoms prior to the sinus infection. I started taking antibiotics on the 10th and did not find any major relief until yesterday morning after drinking 16 oz of white grape juice mixed with 1/8th cup of ACV. I actually had a bit of drainage within minutes of using this formula. I am sipping it today with water. I feel so much better and actually have lots of energy and am enjoying my 3 kids again! I am thankful for your site, as my 2 month old daughter is recovering from open heart surgery and I was concerned about having to call the doctor for more antibiotics and having to see a doctor right now is almost impossible since she is to stay indoors and away from people. She is also fully breast fed and this recipe has not hindered my milk or the taste of it. What a true blessing. Mama of 3

Like most readers I came to this website in pure desperation. I once again got a sinus infection the first time the weather temp changed. Looking for an alternative to Tylenol Cold, etc. I was a bit skeptical about the ACV method. I tried to drink it 1/2 and 1/2 with water as quickly as possible, but had to do it much slower to get used to the flavor (this was yesterday). Today I've been drinking it all day even more diluted with 2 tbls of honey which helped tremendously. I have to say I am shocked, relieved, and in disbelief! This stuff REALLY WORKS!!! My husband can't get over it either. I am not 100% better, but what would normally go on for 2 weeks and then I'd catch another cold/sinus infection etc, has cleared up in less than 2 days! I am hooked for life. I am sharing this website with all my friends and family. Thank you so much!!

I have been suffering from severe periodic bouts of sinus infections for around 4 years. I usually wind up on antibiotics which includes a trip to my dentist thinking I may have an abscess tooth. The pain around my cheekbones and upper teeth with facial swelling is pretty much unbearable. I just finished 2 weeks worth of biaxin to absolutely no avail. As a last resort before decapitating myself, I checked the internet for a possible home remedy. I found the apple cider vinegar remedy and boy is it ever a miracle. I wasn't able to drink it, but I mixed half equal portions of vinegar and water, brought it to a boil and inhaled the fumes covering my face with a towel. In less than 24 hours I am completely well. I really still can't believe this works. I plan on keeping ACV on hand at all times. I am sharing this with every sinus sufferer I know. Thanks for this great tip!
