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 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...

Clew, you can try this: half a glass of boiling water (use a mug with a handle) with a spritz of h2o2, then breathe the vapors for a while. We do this various times a day, tapering down as the cough gets less.

give it more time than that - take a tbsp. 2 -3 times a day or more.

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!

Hi Latz,
So, did you use the recipe that says 1-2 Tablespoons each of apple cider vinegar and honey plus a pinch of cinnamon and 6 ounces of hot water?

Hi Dianne,
No, I don't measure. I pour approximately 1/2" ACV, and then mineral/spring water, and a tbsp of raw Eucalyptus honey, which is considered almost on par with Manuka honey, as having medicinal properties.
Yes, I used warm water, not hot. I also did this 4-5 times during the day. Plus I also take Turmeric supplement.

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 am a medical doctor in the USA and I came to this site to learn about ways to help my patients many years ago. My patients were mostly kids though. I thank God for this website because it is so practical and effective in helping people. I feel a bit sorry that we could not really learn how to help people in such effective ways in my schooling and in my training. However, the landscape is changing quite quickly! I am very hopeful for the future of health care.

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.

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.

When I use that concoction it makes me slightly nauseous. I stand for a min debating if I have to make a beeline for the bathroom but I never have. You can take it as often as you want to.

Over the counter medicine did nothing for my congestion - seemingly turning everything into what felt like glue in my sinuses.
After checking out the site, I tried Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV). It really did the trick. However, I wish it didn't taste horrible to me.
I started with 1 Tablespoon ACV, 1 Tablespoon honey, 1 Tablespoon lemon juice, 2 Tablespoons water. Drinking it like a "shot" wasn't so bad, but it didn't seem to keep the cough away very long.
Next, in the evening I tried 2 Tablespoons ACV, 1 Tablespoon honey, in a small glass of warm water. No coughing at all during the night. Woohoo!
At 7am this morning, I took the same 2 Tablespoons ACV with honey in a glass of water. It worked until it seemingly wore off at 11am. Then it felt like I was drowning in phelegm. Thankfully it was (sorry to be gross) now the consistency of saliva I was coughing up. When I was first sicker and not using the ACV, it was a yellow mucus. So I know I'm getting better even when I have to cough a little. I'm just not 100% yet.
Once I got home from work and drank another 2 Tablespoons ACV 1 Tablespoon honey mixture in water, the coughing and "drowning in water" feeling is completely gone.

Stumbled across this post while doing research. I'm sure you're healthy by now (I hope!! ) but just wanted to mention for future, check out glycemic difference between raw honey and processed ("regular") honey. It's pretty astonishing. Don't know if that's helpful for you, but just in case, wanted to pass it along.
PS. I believe the honey in this recipe is mostly for taste, though in its raw form it does have healing properties.

You don't need honey, no. If you want something for the taste, try adding some xylitol or stevia.
