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.

My Home Made Cough Syrup for Sore Throats. I call it "Molyvite". It combines:
- Black Strap Molasses
- Grade C Maple Syrup (only enough to break the taste)
- Apple Cider Vinegar
- Raw Unfiltered Honey
- Cayenne Pepper
- A small amount of pure water to tolerable taste.
Take small sips during the day. For problems getting accustomed to taste, start sipping with a small tolerable amount at first working your way up. Soon you will even look forward to taking it. You may even miss taking it. I did.
Benefits:
- Minerals
- Help Balance PH
- Send germs packing
- Increase blood flow & circulation
- Healing
- Some vitamins
Did you ever hear of Cyclone Cider? Love that stuff too.

To Whom it may concern was looking at your site and we tried 2 Tablespoons. of Apple Cider Vinegar and 2 Tablespoons. of honey. We had a bad cough and it cured it within 1 day. We took it about every 3 or 4 hours through out the day and it was cured.

Been suffering for 2 nights (this being the 2nd night) with that tickly persistent phlegmy cough - the ones that happen almost ever 45 seconds without fail. Got out of bed to do some online searching for some natural cures (since I'm not up for going to the store for cough stuff, which I don't really like, at 2am). Found this page and mixed up 2 Tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar and 2 Tablespoons. honey - and I can already feel it working! The tickle in my throat is definitely becoming more subdued. I know I have some postnasal drip - and it won't tackle THAT so much - but I can feel myself already not having the urge to cough!!
