I tried the ACV w/ honey after days of non stop coughing. It was driving me insane b/c not only is it annoying but it really hurt my throat and it gave me terrible headaches. So finally last night I had enough and decided to look up natural, home remedies preferably that included vinegar b/c I know how great it is. I found this web site and read about the wonderful results other people have had, so I decided to try it. It was awesome!! I'm still coughing a little bit but not nearly as much as the past week...which has been a nightmare. I took some last night and also this morning...although I have to admit...the vinegar really burned!! I mixed 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar and 1 tablespoon honey. next time i am planning on diluting w/ a couple of tablespoons of water b/c it really hurt my stomach but I am so great full that I found this remedy...I will keep using it from now on instead of buying expensive medicines that only put me to sleep.

Apple Cider Vinegar & Honey remedy cured my chronic cough. I happened upon this site randomly during another one of my sleepless nights, desperately searching about how to stop this very intense, nagging cough I have been suffering with for 3 months now. It supposedly started as a side effect from a heart medication - Lisinopril. My doctor had given me all sorts of medications, inhalers, decongestants, anti-histamines, cough syrups, etc but nothing helped. Well, when I read about apple cider vinegar & honey I thought there is no way this could solve my problem, much less even help. I completely dismissed it. Another 2 weeks went by and I was at wits end, so I picked up a bottle of apple cider vinegar and jar of honey, came up and mixed them together, drank it and guess what? I'm cough free! I am quite sure my doctor will give me one of those dismissive looks when I tell her about it and will chalk it up to coincidence, but I know the truth! It is shocking how effective this is and mind boggling to me as to how it works, but it does. Thank you to everyone who posted this and to whomever created this site - you made a huge difference in my life!

Unfortunately, the ACV and honey remedy for cough did not work for me. I have a nasty flu virus that has been making its rounds in my family for a month. I was the latest casualty, and needed something to help get rid of the cough that is making my entire body hurt. I put 2 T of the ACV (organic w/ mother) and 2T of honey and drank it all. It tasted terrible, and I kept on coughing! Wish it worked for me like it has for others!

Okay, so I tried this ACV mix with Honey to cure this cough I've had for about 3 weeks. I have to say, the taste is absolutely horrible but the remedy does work. Within minutes, my cough was gone. I took just 2 Tablespoons of ACV and 1 Tablespoons of honey. You should try it, but be warned, the bitter taste and strong smell is not for the weak!

Just wanted to thank everyone who had shared their ACV with honey experiment to cure the cough. I was a skeptic, but the annoying cough would not go away with the OTC medicine, and decided to give ACV a try. I took two table spoon of ACV with one tablespoon of honey.And...wolla! the cough almost instantly went away!! I encourage any skeptics of home made remedies to at least give it a try.

I had a coughing spout for days; I do not like taking synthetic medicines so I went online and found this awesome site. I decided to try the ACV and honey mixture (2 Tablespoons of raw apple cider vinegar and 1 Tablespoons of organic raw honey). Wow...what a miracle. Literally, my coughing stopped instantly and I was actually able to fall asleep. The coughing would normally come back within 3-5 hours, but another dose of the ACV & honey stopped it in its tracks. My boyfriend also had a coughing spout recently (later found out it was bronchitis), so I gave him the mixture. It immediately helped him also. Although his cough returned much sooner than mine did, but at least his chest and lungs had a chance to rest.

I had a sore throat for about 4 days and the tickly cough was driving me crazy. In desperation I trawled the internet and found your site and the ACV remedy. Luckily I had a bottle of ACV in the cupboard and so I tried it with honey dissolved in a small amount of water. It was horrible to swallow but the results were almost instant. The annoying cough has now mostly gone and I had a good nights sleep. My throat still feels a little 'lumpy' but its bearable now. Thanks to all who posted the remedy.

I am so thankful to have found this informative page. After coming down with a very nasty cough and cold for the past week, I didn't think I could take another night of constant coughing. My husband went online and found this information and told me to try the ACV and honey mixture. I had been loading up on all kinds of over the counter cough medicines and nothing even phased my cough. We mixed these two ingredients together, about 2 tbsp ACV to 1 tbsp honey and I took it in one big gulp. I didn't expect much, but boy was I wrong. I could instantly tell it had an effect on the severe tickle in my throat. Within about 1/2 hour, it was greatly reduced. About an hour later, I took a little more and went to bed. I did cough some, but nothing like before. Since then, I have taken it a few more times and the relieve is almost instantaneous. I can also tell my sore throat has diminished a great deal as well. I am sold on this stuff. I have since read to dilute with water, so I will do that next. Simply put, I'm amazed!

I had a really bad cough that lasted about 2 days, before I finally got sick of it and drank some apple cider vinegar, it helped my ccough almost instantly! but now for some reason I have lost my voice, and I was wondering if anyone has a cure for that to get my voice back? I'm a very talkitive person and not having a voice is torture and I have a party to go to tomorrow!

I got a really bad cold a few days ago, and I could hardly stand not being able to breathe through my nose. Not only that, but the coughing, especially on the second and third days, was unbelievable. Finally my dad told me that he couldn't listen to my cough any more, but I didn't want to take any drugs/medicine. I found this site on Google and, of course, the first thing I saw was to drink Apple Cider Vinegar. I finally found some in the back of a cabinet and put some in a glass with honey. In less than ten minutes my cough had subsided to barely a tickle every five minutes and my nose cleared up so fast I could actually feel it loosening up. Not only that, but ACV also reduced the weird ringing in my ears and helped my upset stomach. I'm not saying that my cold is completely gone, but I'm easily 99% better than I have been in the last month. ACV is definitely the only thing for any kind of illness.

First of all, I thank GOD for helping me find your site to try these wonderful remedies! I started out with a sore throat and gargled water mixed with cayenne powder; it helped short term. But then I had a nasty cough (associated with the sore throat), so I drank 2 Tablespoons of apple cider vinegar throughout the day. It seemed to make my coughs more productive. When I woke up the next day, I hacked up a lot of mucous, and felt like I was getting better. Then I made a pot of tomato tea and I am well again :-) Thank you very much! Your site is a priceless wealth of information."

I was diagnosed with Acute Bronchitis and have been coughing so bad I could not sleep and was having breathing difficulties. I am super sensitive to drugs and hate to take anything but got desperate and got the Zpack but before taking it read your acv cures. Within about 15 min of drinking it my cough got better and the next day coughed up lots of stuff and was much better. But today seems to be not as good as yesterday just wondering if the stuff is working still?

I had been suffering from what seemed like a really long version of the common cold. Nose constantly running, coughing non stop, and feeling awful. Saw earthclinic, went and bought apple cider, and WOW!The cough is still there, but a million times better ,and more productive. The nose is clear and feeling like a nose should. You have got to try this. It really works.
