I have been on a regimen of 2 tbls of ACV and 1 tbls of blackstrap molasses 2x's a day for about 4 months now. I've just recently in the last month added 1/2 tsp of cayenne (1 tsp/day total) to my ACV and chase it with a glass of water. I read on your site that cayenne helps circulation and that was the primary reason I started adding it to my ACV. Before that I would cook with it and added it to my food everyday as I really like hot food. Well, I was pleasantly surprised with what happen next... The puffiness around my eyes (due to some kind of allergies food or airborne I'm guessing) and face is COMPLETELY gone! No kidding! I have a healthy glow to me now and the puffiness around my eyes that would make me look tired all the time, has vanished. The next thing I noticed is that my sinus' are clear, the dull sinus headache that I lived with for so long is gone and I can breath through my nose at night. As a result I think I'm getting more oxygen to my brain and body now and I definately feel much more clear headed. I had no idea how much congestion was in my sinus' that I had just learned to live with. After ingesting a teaspon a day for about a month, although results came within a couple of days, I look and feel so much better. The only thing I can attribute to the changes to is the cayenne. Thank you so much for posting this remedy. Makes me want to kiss you guys right on the lips! SMACK!

Every late summer, I suffer from Ragweed allergies. doctors could not give me any relief. Moving to Alaska helped alot, however, when visiting Florida in October, I had difficulty breathing from all the sneezing and wheezing. I then read your article and tried the ACV. The next day I was 100% fine. I went off it just to test and sure enough I began to get stuffed up again. I then took the ACV and later that evening I was again 100%. Thanks. Got anything that can grow hair on my head?

I get seasonal pollen allergies. It gets pretty bad. I sneeze ten times in a row and my eyes get really itchy. I found ACV as a remedy on earth clinic and I tried it one day when I sneezed a lot. Sure enough, a few hours later my sneezing and runny nose dissipated. Since it has worked so much better than OTC antihistimes, I will continue to use it every summer. ACV is definitely an item everyone should own, since it has so many uses!

I have to share this with you to help those suffering from allergic rhinitis commonly called allergy. Yesterday, I was sneezing non stop from 1:00 pm to nightime. I was already feeling very weak from sneezing and I thought of searching the remedy from Earth Clinic. I found ACV as very popular for allergies. I prepared immediately 2 tbs in 8 oz of warm water. Then I added 1/4 tbs baking soda. Instantly, my allergies were gone. I never sneezed from then on so I was able to sleep calmly through the night. I couldn't believe it. It really works. I am a ACV fanatic. My husband and I drink it every night to maintain our good health. Now I'll make it twice daily.

Hello, first time poster here. I started a regimen of ACV in water after having it recommended to me by a weight loss clinic as a general detox. I noticed after 2 days of drinking it diluted in water that I seemed to have more energy at the end of the day than I was used to having. But what was truly impressive was that I had gone away for the weekend to visit relatives and did not think to take some ACV "on the road". I had increased allergy symptoms and overall felt worse than before going on the ACV regimen. So I'll definitely make a "to go" travel bottle in the future so that I don't have to skip any days.

Thanks to this site, ACV did wonders for my seasonal allergies. Always before I'd used nettle tea and it had been fairly effective. One season, however, it did not seem to help at all. So I started searching around and found the ACV recommendation. Works wonders! Also great on my skin when I have an itchy allergic reaction.

Do you have sever stomach pain when you have a reaction too? Just curious because I have been becoming randomly allergic to different fruits and veggies. It's possible for me also to become allergic to shell fish as well. But I just get super bad pain in my upper abdomen.

Apple cider vinegar cleared my allergies and congestion!! I followed the 2tsp in 16oz of water recipe twice a day. I don't measure exactly, though, so I may be a bit over 2 tsp actually. After returning to Mississippi for a visit in mid-March, my allergies (already pretty bad) got so bad that I lost my voice and could barely breathe. I am also asthmatic, and I was coughing so hard that my chest hurt. When I got home, I tried the ACV formula and within 3 days I was no longer coughing, and I was fully clear! I have not been congested since!! I tell everyone around me how well the remedy worked for me because now all my friends and family are suffering and I am not. :)

My step sons girl friend had allergies. He found this site, and she used ACV for very short time (about 1 week). she does not have allergies for about 3 months now. The first side effect she noticed, was a lot more energy! Like never before, and no dark circles under her eyes. she does not drink it any more!

I am in my early twenties and over the past 3-4 years I developed severe allergies. The cause of the allergies was difficult to pin down, but one major culprit was the dust mite. In addition to respiratory symptoms I also found myself breaking out severely with eczema on my face, hands, arms, shoulders, and occasionally other spots. The breakouts would come and go, I could never fully figure out how to get them under control and did not want to rely on harsh steriodal ointments and medications. About a year and a half ago I began to drink apple cider vinegar after having read about it on earthclinic. I would take about 2 tablespoons twice a day diluted in juice and water, sometimes tea. I am convinced that without the ACV my severe breakouts would still be going on. They have not completely stopped but the difference is like night and day. Whenever I accidentally skip a dose or two or ACV I can see my skin becoming worse. Thank the heavens for ACV it has been like a miracle. I cannot as readily attest to whether it has aided me with other health issues.

I suffer from severe seasonal allergies/rhinitis. I've been to the doctor and have taken numerous meds and tried different nose sprays. I gave up on them and tried the ACV and water tonic, drinking it 3 times a day. I have never felt better. Very little sneezing, no achy sinuses, no more sore throat and more energy! I was so skeptical of this stuff and the taste is definitely not my favorite. However, I feel better than I did when taking what the doctor prescribed. It sounded too good to be true, but in this case, it's wonderful and IT WORKS! Thank you Earth Clinic for your wealth of knowledge on a simple household product.

I have terrible allergies, and knowing this, I started on Allegra at the first sign this spring, but thta did not help my itchy, watery eyes. I heard about Apple Cider Vinegar from my cousin, so decided to give it a try . . within 2 hours, I could actually put make-up on, and keep it on! Now,I drink 1 Tblspn to 1/2 C water twice a day, and no allergies!! Whoohoo, another natural cure the doctors don't/won't tell you about.

Apple Cider Vinegar. Today May 21, 2007 I decided to try ACV to relieve my allergies and what I thought was a cold or flu. I have had the flu for over 4 weeks but it turns out it is a combination of allergies and a slight cold. I have taken allergy pills one every 24 hours for the last 8 days and it works for awhile but then my nose starts running again and the mucous seems to be getting heavier. I took three glasses of apple juice with 2 tablespoons of ACV in each every 5 hours and now at 8:30 pm I feel like a new person with no runny or blocked up nose and now I am going to continue on this same regimen and try and lose 42 lbs and keep it off!! I will check back with you from time to time and let you know how I am doing. By the way, I am a 63 year old male.

I regularly take apple cider vinegar. It doesn't do a thing for my seasonal allergies. I have to take anti-histamines.

WORKED TEMPORARILY

Hi!!! I suffer from very bad allergies and bronchitis and asthma. I have tried every antibiotic and over the counters meds and none worked. Just eased the symptoms for a bit. I tried _____s ACV for the first time last Thursday. I filled a shot glass and downed it. About a hour later I felt great!!! My sinus pressure eased up a lot and they started to drain. My chest wasnt nearly as weezy and I felt full of energy. I did three shots a day and felt wonderful. My allergies never went away but there was a huge improvement. One that I could live with.

After the third day I started getting really bad gas pressure ending in terrible belches and resulting in upset stomach so I diluted the ACV by pouring the shot in a 20 oz bottle of water three times a day. That didnt help so I did it twice a day. Then my sinus problems started coming back. I havent taken any in a couple of days and my allergies are back full force. Please can you offer any suggestions?

Hi,

I was wondering the same thing because I started taking it myself. I was looking through earlier posts on the subject and came across this. Perhaps this concentration would be easier to take? Just a thought!

For daily maintenance, weight loss and pH balancing, we now suggest the following:

2 teaspoons of organic apple cider vinegar
16 ounces of water
Sip, don't chug!
We suggest 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in 16 ounces of water that you'll sip throughout the day, rather than drinking the whole concoction at once 3 times a day. You will be keeping your pH in a constant, alkalized state by sipping this highly diluted dosage. Usually 1-2 tall glasses of the concoction are all you'll need each day.

If you drink a lot of water throughout the day, consider adding just a splash of apple cider vinegar to your glass/container each time you fill it up, rather than drinking the one, 16 oz glass of Apple Cider Vinegar and water mentioned above.

Hope this helps you tolerate it better!

Living in Houston, Texas we have yellow pollen everywhere right now. A few days ago myself and two of my children started with the runny noses..so I made up an ACV/honey (home grown in our town)/blackstrap molasses with warm water drink. We all drink a cup in the am and in the pm before bed and it clears our noses right up! No sneezing and itchy eyes. It is so awesome because I HATE allergy meds for their cost and side effects. So thank you so much for this website...it has ben a HUGE blessing to our family!!
