night sweats/hot flashes: I have been having hot flashes not too bad for 2 years. Then I got Mono and the hot flashes/night seats/all day sweats went to a new level. I did not sleep for more than 2 hours at a time. I happened upon this web site and decided to try ACV last night. 2 tablespoons in about 16-20 oz of water. I slept 12 hours last night no night sweats. I have had 2 mild ones in the last 6 hours since waking so I am going to drink some more. It is hard to take down at first, I had to add some sweetner.

I've been suffering from sever hot flashes for the last 3 1/2 years. I usually get them about every 20 to 30 minutes round the clock. I haven't taken anything for them, I guess I just thought I could tough it out. But the lack of sleep has left me with no energy and big bags under my eyes. I google all the time trying to find relief and most of the websites talk about HRT or bioidenticals. I really don't want to put anything into my body that isn't natural. So I accidently came across the Apple Cider Vinegar hotflash fix. After reading how many women got relief from drinking this, I went straight to the kitchen poured a 16 oz. glass of cold water and put 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in it and drank it. It was hard to swallow and took me about 10 minutes to finish. But that was over 4 hours ago and I have not had a hot flash since the one that I had in the first 15 minutes after I drank it. This is just to easy! Why don't our health care providers tell us about this. Maybe its because no one can make any money off of this easy remedy. I hope it continues to work! I'll keep you posted!!!

I have been tormented by hotflashes for over 6 months straight. Since I have menstrual related grand mal seizures (epilepsy) I didn't want to go on HRT. As my body has been changing I haven't had any seizures for years which is the first time I have ever been seizure free. Anyway the torture has been so severe I started looking for alternative relief and came across this site 2 days ago. I went out and bought some ACV. I took 2 tbls in a glass of water yesterday morning and after 14 hotflashes I quit counting. Going to be faithful to myself I drank it again last night. I only woke up 3 times when trying to sleep and this morning haven't had a flash yet and have been up for just over 2 hrs. I am going to continue on ACV and see what happens. Even if I slow down a bit on the flashes it will give me my life back. Thank you.

A Yea on this one for me:
Apple Cider vinegar cured my night sweats. I'd been waking up drenched in sweat and shivering for the month before and after my period for 10 years. I had full checkups and bloodwork done but no problems could be found. My OB/GYN said that it's just my body's response to fluctuating hormones. Every evening that I took ACV before bed I didn't have the sweats! (I just swallowed 2 tbsp down straight, which I am now reading might not have been the best idea.) I finally got some sleep!

Try taking a little more-mine were so bad (every hour for over 11 years unless I was on HRT!) I took 2 TABLESPOONS to start with and they STOPPED. When I tried only one tablespoon they came back! I mix mine with a little stevia and water and just gulp it down twice a day. I know how you feel and I did add Dong Quai(530 mg) Black Cohosh (40mg) twice a day to my diet before I started on the ACV but it only helped a little during the day and not at all at night-I hadn't slept in forever! I was completely miserable and this has worked better than HRT so far or me. Good luck! Suzy

11 Years of Hot Flashs Finally Cured!
Desperate-I found your site-I was ready to just give up living! I tried Black Cohosh, added Dong Quai and got a little relief in the day time but NONE at night. I have had 11 years of HORRID HOT FLASHES-except the few years I took HRT Therapy. I have had 2 precancerous conditions in my life and just did not consider HRT to be the right choice. I had taken NOTHING for 1 year up until 2 weeks ago and had not slept more than 1-2 hours in over 9 months! Suicide was getting to sound painless, as the song goes. I could not think, work, clean or do anything productive. Every hour the fever would hit and then the chills, IT WAS LIKE HAVING THE FLU, 24/7. I tried the herbs about 10 days ago and like I said, got a little relief in the daytime but THEN I FOUND YOU GUYS-I took 2 Tablespoons of ACV with a little stevia and water and the hot flashes STOPPED-I mean STOPPED COLD! I tried 1 Tablespoon a few days later and they started back-I switched back to 2 Tablespoons and they stopped AGAIN!
I can't believe it!!!!! I am symptom free for 7 days now and have slept for the first time in MONTHS!!! THERE ARE NO WORDS TO EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE-
TO THE LADY IN N.J.-TRY TO TAKE MORE! SUZY

1 Tablespoon ACV with 2 Tablespoons water a day cured my arthritis and hot flashes. My friend told my husband and I to take ACV for our sore wrists and hands and we started 2 mos. ago. After one mo. I noticed I had absolutly NO hot flashes. This amazed me. I really had them bad night and day. I also noticed no acid reflux (quit taking my prilosec a month ago) and no restless legs to speak of. I also feel I have lost a couple of lbs. Of Course the hand and wrist pain is gone. This is probably crazy but my eyelashes are longer. Pretty funny huh?

Apple cider vinegar cured my Acid Reflux, hotflash, back pain and restless leg syndrome. Axid AR did not work, I was in so much pain, went to find out which foods that contained high amounts of alkaline in them. Tired of looking 5 months pregnant. Anyway, thank God I found this site. All I had was regular store bought apple cider vinegar and clover honey and tap water. I spooned a half teaspoon of vinegar into my mouth, about choked to death, followed with water, and then ate a half teaspoon of honey. In about 45 minutes I had no pain. I am so full of energy and do not want to go to bed now. It is 2:43 am in the morning. God bless this site and its creator, amen. Tomorrow I will go find me some ACV.

over a year ago i was diagnosed with severe larynx acid reflux.it was causing sores on my vocal box,chronic coughing, post nasal drip,& etc. i was prescribed prilosec, it helped some but then it stopped working. then i was prescribed nexium which also helped some for awhile then stopped. so then i was prescribed nexium in the morning and zantac150 at night but of course this also stopped working i started taking organic apple cider vinegar 2 tablespoons at night and i am completely off of all the prescriptions i was put on. and it works better than any of the other ever did.plus my sinuses have cleared up,no more coughing,no voice loss, and as an extra plus no more hot flashes at night.

My cousin's doctor recommended ACV for gout, she passed this website on to me, so I've only been using ACV for about 3 weeks now, and no migraines, no sinus headaches (northeast ohio weather horrible), allergy symptoms have all but disappeared, and
FEWER HOT FLASHES (am 47), I don't understand why more physicians don't tell us about this miracle cure-all!
P.S. My energy levels are off the charts. my 47 year old skin feels like the proverbial "baby's bottom", and I'm losing weight without even really trying!

I tried several over the counter drug store medicines for my hot flashes and they did not work. First I got off coffee, cokes and sugar. Including artificial sugars. and then I did a candida cleanse and colon cleanse.I do not have hot flashes any more. I also drink lots of water and include vinegar in my water everyday.
