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.

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.

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 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.
