Margaret had to sit down at the hardware store due to a headache. Eating helped for a bit, then it came back and she laid on the couch in tremendous pain. wanting to help, I looked at these comments, and ran to the store to get ACV. I mixed 2 TB with a squirt of lemon jiuce, a dash of honey in warm water. she was an uncooperative patient for 5 minutes or so, then drank it. she them hobbled to the bathroom as she said she thought she was going to be sick. i was not looking forward to the consequences, should that happen. After sitting next to the toilet for 5 minutes, her eyes opened, 5 minutes later she was laughing and said the pain was gone. now she declares it a miracle, is laughing like normal, and wants me to cook dinner! :)

Wow, I can't believe this worked so well! The ACV helped my ease my severe headache and eye pain. I felt much better in about a half-hour after taking the mix. Works!

I have been using ACV for sometime now, along with other things off and on. However, ACV has been my staple for my allergies. Until recently, it has been working. Now, I seem to get headaches that really do not go away. Except when I talk over the count products that take the edge off. Most time my headaches come with weather changes, but sometimes I think it is a food that I ate because the weather is fine. I am allergies to wheat, soy, and corn (and maybe more). Any suggestions on what I can do? Should I drink ACV non-stop? I have been taking more zinc when I think it could be a cold... I just don't know. What do I do?

I have been taking a grocery store brand of ACV for a week now. I take 2-3 tbl spoons twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the evening. It has taken my daily headaches completely away, my skin is softer, and just when I thought it wasn't helping my weight, I put on a pair of jeans that I hadn't worn in a week, and they were loose! I've been pulling them up all day! I do want to suggest to definitely get the organic kind of ACV. I believe that it will work even better than the grocery store brand. I'm going to get some today.The only side effect so far is constipation. I hope by changing to the organic ACV that that will help.

Yes, it is true... ACV is really the cure-all. I would recommend it for anyone. I'm currently completing my B.S. in human nutrition and let me tell you that when I'm a Registered Dietitian I will be telling all of my patients about this miracle. I have had bad migraines all my life and recently started taking ACV with a couple packets of splenda and lemon juice mixed with a cup of hot water. Also, sodium bicarbonate is optional if you want to protect the enamel on your teeth and make it carbonated too! This concoction takes away the migraine every time, almost instantly. I take it 2-3 times a day and it really helps. It also keeps skin clear, suppresses your appetite and aids in weight loss. There are many other reasons why I take ACV... if you want to know more, read Earl Mindell's "The amazing Apple Cider Vinegar". I love ACV!

EC: Glad to hear ACV is helping your migraines! You might want to read up on the side effects of Splenda though.. Here is our page on the subject.

ACV is amazing. My teenage daughter suffered from a constant migraine headache that started in January 2008 as a complication of mono. It never subsided. She was hospitalized for it, which helped and tried different migraine medications, which didn't help. My brother suggested giving her honey so I googled it and found this website. I read all the feedback about ACV and, in desperation, tried 2 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons ACV and 8 oz of water. She's been taking it 3 times a day for 2 weeks and her headache is practically gone. I probably wouldn't believe it if it hadn't happened to us. I'm a true believer now.

i just have to say that this site is awesome! i found it in a search for cures with turmeric and saw the acv cures. i hate taking any sort of aspirin or whatever so this was a great find, and let me just say that the acv and honey cure was awesome for a headache that was lurking me. i took maybe about 1/8 cup of acv, mixed in a bit of honey and water, downed that and i felt so awesome that i even made it to my step class. thank you so much for this info!

I am 49 years old and have suffered with very severe headaches since I was a young girl. I have tried many medications and remedies, but this simple and inexpensive thing can relieve the pain, sometimes within minutes. Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Remove from heat and add 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar. Make a "tent" with a bath towel over your head and breathe in the vapors, deeply and slowly. (If it makes you cough, cut back on the vinegar.) A few minutes of doing this will cure most headaches as well as pills or shots.

An old fashioned remedy for any headache was to soak a piece from a brown paper bag with cider vinegar and apply it to the forehead. Something about breathing the fumes helps in some cases, anyway.

I started getting very bad headaches around the age of 12, and have had them on almost a daily basis since (I'm now 30). Nothing the doctors prescribed was ever effective in treating the cause, nobody really knew why I got them. I also have sinus problem and a sport related neck injury, I have thought these could be linked to the constant headaches. I started to look for another treatment for the sinus infections. I've been taking a mixture of sinutab and other paracetamol, aspirin and ibuprofen tablets over the years to help with the pain but it couldn't continue. I found your site in looking for a sinus cure and started drinking ACV one month ago and have not taken a single tablet since!!! I also feel more energetic every day.

So glad to find this site. I have been having a pretty bad headache, so i took 2tbsp. of acv in 8oz.water. It tastes terrible but within 10 minutes it helped a lot and it also opened up my nasal passages and the post nasal drip that i have been having stopped. Just to thank you and i will be coming onto this page more frequently. It has also helped out many others that i come in contact with. Again thanks, blessings to you.

I actually came to your website to learn more about Apple Cider Vinegar since an herbal remedies book recommended it for headaches. I've had these headaches for a few years and it's hard to describe the pain; it was like a pressure on my eyes and sides of my head, not to mention the fog that accompanied it and made me unable to think clearly. It was very difficult to look at a computer screen or read a book. Sometimes I would have these headaches for weeks at a time! I've also been suffering from fatigue; I felt lethargic and had no energy or motivation to do anything. I'm 21 years old and a student so this was not helping at all. I used to wake up (sometimes after more than 10 hours) and feel as though I'd had no rest at all, and I always awoke with a splitting headache. I'd had a regular workout routine which I'd stuck to 5-6 days a week, but could no longer find the energy or mental clarity to even go for a walk. I went to the local GNC less than two weeks ago and purchased two bottles of Apple Cider Vinegar; since then I've taken 2 TB 3 times daily in a glass of water and I'm free from headaches, I have considerably more energy, I sleep better, I wake up refreshed and my eyes are brighter! They no longer have that dull, pained look. An added bonus is that it's suppressing my appetite. I haven't measured or weighed myself as of yet, but I'll be sure to update you as soon as I do! Thank you for this wonderful website!

For the past year, I have been suffering from severe headaches, my heart would beat extremely fast just from standing up, and dizziness. I knew that it was serious when my head was hurting so bad one day that I went to lie down and woke up almost 15 hours later. I found this website while looking for a cure for gout for someone else. I sent them the information and then began to read the other parts of this site. After my reading, I wrote out a list and I went to the health food store immediately after work. I have been taking the mixture of the water with ACV, liquid garlic, cayenne pepper and blackstrap molasses for a week now. For the first time in a year, I am feeling so much better. My heart rate has slowed. My headaches are gone. I am using the bathroom on a regular basis now and I am not sleepy all of the time. I am also taking multi-vitamins. Thank you for this wonderful website!

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!
