I have had horrible sinus problems for almost a year. My doctor deeps prescribing different allergy medicines. No matter which one, the side effects were much worse than having a constantly clogged nose. Don't we all need to be alert? I have been hearing about ACV from some of my "natural" friends and family and thought nothing of it until I found this website. I started doing "shots" of ACV 2 days ago and already noticed a big difference! If you mix that with water - there's just more of it to drink - plus when you're really really clogged you can't taste much of it anyway. The natural tastes better!

Went to bed last night with stuffy nose, woke up 3 time in the middle of the night, my nose was so stuffy i felt like i was suffocating, finally got up and stayed up because i could not breathe through my nose, and went to yahoo search engine and typed in sinus infection cures and came upon your site. After reading several testamonials i went straight to the kitchen and got poured a 1/3 cup ACV to 1/3 cup water (i don't like ACV) but was willing to try anything! chased it down with a little pomegranite juice and 15 min later i could breathe again. Thank you, thank you for this website.

i am so! delighted to have found this site, and the recommendation of ACV- i have been suffereing with ongoing CFS for 11 and a half years, and within that time i always seem to be v. susceptible to picking up viruses, esp. prone to sinus probs. anyhow - this ACV seems to do the trick! it def. put a hold on me developing full blown sinusitus - it seems to diminish the viral flu type aches and pains and definately diminishes the catarrh - seems to kill of the headaches too. i have only been using an Organic Cyder Vinegar bought from the local supermarket, so am assuming if i went to the health food store, the product may work even better - dont know, but all i know is it has saved me taking to my bed - i notice also whilst taking it that i have slightly more energy. anyhow, am so! glad to have discovered it.

I have been suffering with sinositis for more than 6 years. so I always feel like having cold, block nose heaviness in head, strain on face etc etc. I even forgot how to live without these problems. I sometimes had severe headache in middle of my forehead and the area between nose and eyes. I was not aware that it was due to sinus pressure. Recently I had this pain and my nose was continuously blocked for 1 week. I couldnt blow my nose because moucous was very sticky and thick. I searched on internet and found this site, next day I bought ACV and started taking it. The next day the muocous got diluted, I could blow my nose. and within 2 hours I blowed my nose several time. I felt so relaxed. Now no nose block, no strain on face no headache. I am taking it for last 6 days. I dont know how long should I take it. But I will take it as ACV have other advantages too.

This past week I did deveope a sinus infection- the constant headache, pain in the nose area, and just couldn't breath, so I couldn't sleep. I had planned to visit the doctor, but found this website first. I have ACV at home, so that nite, a couple days ago, I drank a glass of water with at least one oz. of ACV in it. In 1 hour, my headache was gone and I could breath again, and slept great! I sniffed the ACV the next day and drank more of it, I don't think it taste bad, actually. I am completely cured of a painful sinus infection!!

The apple cider vinegar is a miracle cure for sinuses. I came down with a nasty respiratory virus the week before Christmas, 2006 that got into my sinuses, which were already irritated by allergies. After two rounds of antibiotics, loads of over the counter drugs and several weeks of terrible headaches and congested sinuses, I found this site in desperation. I had been suffering for four days from an awful headache that would only go away with 800 mg. Advil. I hate taking anything, but the thought of taking that everyday was really getting to me. I took my first shot of ACV around 4 p.m. My head opened up immediately and by 6 p.m., my headache and all the congestion was completely gone. By the next day, I felt great...better than I had in weeks and I slept better than I had in a long time. I had a small amount of congestion the following day that cleared immediately when I took the ACV. Since then, I've been taking 2 tbsp. with a little baking soda in about 8 oz. of spring water 3x per day. I'm planning to keep going too. I'm hoping to see some of the other benefits people talk about here, but this stuff is nothing short of amazing when it comes to sinus problems. Thank the Lord for this relief. I've been spreading the good news to everyone!

When I first tried ACV, it worked very well. It cleared my stuffed nose for the first time in ten years. I've beem using ACV for a while now and I find that the ACV is no longer working on my sinuses. If anything, it upsets my stomache and my nose is still stuffed. So I'm online again looking for something that works

I'VE BEEN SICK WITH A REALLY BAD COLD NOW FOR 4 DAYS. I DEVELOPED REALLY BAD NASAL CONGESTION AND WAS HAVING A LOT OF TROUBLE BREATHING AND SWALLOWING BECAUSE OF ALL THE MUCOUS. I TEND TO GET A LITTLE FREAKED OUT ABOUT THINGS SO I FREAKED OUT!! I CAME ONLINE TO TRY TO FIND A HOME REMEDY THAT I CAN USE AND I READ ABOUT THE WONDERS OF APPLE CIDER VINEGAR SO I LITERALLY RAN ACROSS THE STREET AND BOUGHT MYSELF A BOTTLE OF HEINZ APPLE CIDER VINEGAR AND TRIED A COUPLE OF TBL SPOONS OF THE VINEGAR W/WATER AND IT CLEARED IT RIGHT AWAY. I'M GLAD I FOUND THIS BECAUSE I'M 1 MONTH PREGNANT AND I DIDN'T WANNA TAKE ANY MEDICATIONS. I HAVE A QUESTION THOUGH, I'M NOT A DOCTOR SO I DON'T ACTUALY KNOW IF THIS WOUD BE BAD FOR MY BABY. WOULD IT?

When I was pregnant I had severe sinus congestion. I could not breathe and suffered for one month with no cure in sight. My doctor refused to reccomend anything, she claimed that it would eventually clear up, I begged her for something and when she finally did and I read the ingredients and side effects and I decided not to take it. Finally I remembered the old ACV and took it with one clove of garlic in warm water. My sinuses cleared. I continued to take it throughout my pregnancy every night and never experienced another cold or sinus infection the whole duration. What is more I was high risk, plus overweight and never experienced complications. ACV is surely for the healing of nations.

I have forgotten as I have not had the sinus condition for over 15 years, that apple cider vinegar has many great properties. It clears up many infectious disorders in the internal system, digestive tract disorders, not to mention the least. It should come as no surprise to all who write these great letters of response that we are our own worst enemies and fund millions to the health care systems when in fact we can learn to take care of ourselves with a little common sense and healthy diet.

Thank you so much!! For the last few days I've been dealing with the worst sinus congestion I can ever remember having. I did an internet search hoping to find something to help, I came upon your website and although I was skeptical I tried mixing 1/4 C ACV with 16 oz of water and downed it all at once. That was only 20 minutes ago and I can feel a difference all ready, my sinuses are draining and my ears are starting to clear. I wish I would have known about this sooner! Thanks again!

i had lived with what i thought was a migraine for four days, on day five--my sinuses were rock hard. i thought i would go to urgent care, but decided to go online to see if there were any natural cures. i tried the 1/2 cup acv and 1/2 cup water; and also the acv steaming and i put colloidal silver in my nasal spray. the nasal spray and the acv steam made my sinuses burn for 45 minutes--but about an hour later--i got relief. i decided to do the cure 3 times today. here i sit 9 hours later--yet to do my last treatment--and i feel absolutely normal. my husband just said--"hey, where's your ice pack?" I've had one on my head, face and neck for five days! I am so thankful for this website and I encourage anyone with a sinus problem to give this a try. Just drinking the acv mixture didn't do the trick for me--but using the acv steam and nasal treatment with the acv drink surely has proven to be the answer for me. thanks!

I suffered from bad throat and cough, blocked nose especially at night. It was so bad that as if I could not breathe, so I have to get up so often night causing sleeping problems. It was so bad that doctors thought I had asthma. Whenever I eat spicy food, I tend to get choked easily and it was so embarrassing. Sought help from ENTs (Ear Nose & Throat Doctors) but no avail and to extent they recommended surgeries. It was a friend who recommended me and literally forced to drink a mug at her apartment. In fact, it was almost instant remedy on road to recovery. I mix a tablespoon with a mug of water and drink in the morning. After about a month, it sort of cleared the irritants in my throat and I hardly have any bad throat problems, blocked nose problems at night and I hardly cough like I used to have like a monthly occurence. Apple cider really helps on sinuses. No need to go to doctors! Now I can sleep so soundly.

After an illness that compromised my immune system about 4 years ago, I was plagued with such severe allergies that I practically could never breath out of my nose! I couldn't even think about going anywhere without kleenex and allergy medicine. About 5 months ago I read about the benefits of ACV and started taking it twice a day. It took a couple of months but now my allergies are almost complete gone! I never take medicine and rarely blow my nose! I can't believe it! I thought I would have to deal with this the rest of my life. Thank god for ACV!
