Apple Cider Vinegar

It does help to lower it. When you are adding baking soda to it, I would say be careful. I have acid reflux and have to be careful about the intake of acidity. Never go off or change your medication because you feel better. There could be other underlining issues.
If you are on blood pressure medications, follow your doctor instructions and don't assume that ACV will do the trick. Be careful with self diagnosis.

This morning it was 157/96. At 5 144/90 I have taken apple cider vinegar twice today and now 137/78. This is lowest in 2 weeks. I am still going to Dr. But I thank GOD. I will continue my ACV.

I personally after reading several pages and posts decided to take 3 tablespoons 2 times a day. I mix it with Apple Juice and I small spoonful of this thick and gooey honey my wife has. It's only been 4 days and I went to donate again at 6AM, (I like to be first then I'm done by 7:15) and get this my BP went to 149/89. Fluke? Who knows but even the lady I like to have screen me even said how low it is today and my iron was excellent she said, best she's seen. Now it hasn't helped my feet at all but I do feel my appetite has changed for the better as well. So thank all you kind people who helped me and I'm an ACV drinker now!

My blood pressure was 199/100 when someone suggested I take ACV mixed in a large amount of water, thru a straw 3xs per day, which I did. Within a month, every one of my crowns fell off. Never had the problem before or since : ( Now I take over the counter meds (not happy about it) now as I am afraid of what else might happen. Very expensive lesson.

For those using ACV, please please remember that you must brush/rinse after EVERY time. Those who had teeth/crown issues, this was probably the main reason (unless there are other factors with their teeth. ) The benefits of ACV far outway this one "side effect".. but if care is taken, there should be NO side effect.

You should never brush your teeth right after taking Apple Cider Vinegar. Brush before you take it, and after you drink some rinse your mouth out well with plain filtered water.

Hello Chattyone, I realize my response may not actually reach you, since you posted back in 2012. However, it may be helpful to someone else.
CV, Lemon, Lime, etc., is very harsh on the enamel of the teeth. It is necessary regardless of whether drinking ACV through a straw, taken as a shot or otherwise to brush the teeth, tongue and gums thoroughly right after. I've been drinking ACV without a straw and eating lemons and limes with my teeth as a fruit for many moons and my teeth are unaffected because I brush my teeth thoroughly after. I even travel with a spare toothbrush and toothpaste or keep an extra set at work to avoid reasons not to consume what has always proven healthy for me. I'm sorry about your crowns. Best of Health!

I am on HBP meds and have been for years. Since taking two TBS in four OZ. of grape juice it is now 122/78. I found it taste really good in apple juice too. You can barely taste the ACV. I am using organic ACV. Thanks for this wonderful website.

I actually started on the ACV for rheumatoid arthritis pain because I am not interested in prescription drugs. The ACV with honey and water controls the RA pain. You will have to keep taking the ACV to keep your blood pressure down. If you stop, it will begin to creep back up. However, the ACV has so many wonderful effects in the body, I can't see any reason to stop. I would say, however, that everyones should be sure to "swish and swallow" with clean water following the ACV because it can be really hard on the tooth enamel otherwise.

Be sure to ask your Dr. about hyperaldosteronism as a reason for uncontrollable hypertension.

Here is how I have been taking my daily dose of ACV.
- I take a regular 2 ounce shotglass and I fill it to the brim with ACV.
- I pour that into an empty 16 ounce drinking glass. Or use whatever size drinking glass you like.
- Then, I take some apple juice and pour it in on top of the ACV and fill it to the brim.
- Then I drink it over the course of about ten to thirty minutes.
I am 6'4" 300 pounds. I was 380 when I started drinking ACV and my blood pressure medication has been cut in half and still dropping.
For my wife and smaller friends I tell them a half of a shot glass. If I don't have apple juice, I use cranberry juice, grape juice or even coolaid. I do not use any acidic juices such as orange or lemonaid because it gives me heartburn when used with ACV. Hope this helps, I sure notice a big surge in power when I take this stuff this way, mentally and physically. Thanks for reading. Scott Harriger

I am even building a website about it and am currently working on a page dealing with high blood pressure.
What I would like to add to this string is that 1 or 2 tests will not confirm or deny that it is working. Your BP will change up or down many times during the day. It is not a constant.
Apple Cider Vinegar will help high blood pressure but you need to take it daily for at least 3 weeks. Results over several tests should be done before you can confidently say that it has helped.
Also, and this may be the cause of many "nay" votes, vinegar WILL NOT AFFECT high blood pressure caused by heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, or other complex diseases.
Most importantly, if you are currently on prescribed medication, do not stop or reduce your medication because you decide to try vinegar. See your doctor first. (S)he may decide to reduce your medication while you are taking ACV but that is a medical call and not one to be made without the proper knowledge.

Any suggestions as to why I'm not seeing results? Does it take some time (i.e. 2 or more weeks) in some cases? Discouraged when I read some people seeing immediate results. Has anyone else experienced a longer response time? Appreciate any feedback. Thanks

Have you tried the usual natural methods eg reduce salt in the diet and exercise daily, 1hr walks a day, yoga, listen to relaxation tapes. Look at family history, if there is a link I would suggest a full cardiologist check up. The risk of Tia's is increased with High BP. Frequent TIA's increase the risk of Vascular Dementia. Good Luck Lynda
EC: Tia = Transient ischemic attack or a mini-stroke

Thank you for your comment, The Chlorine in our city water is over the top, it tastes & smells terrible even after the water runs a while before getting a glass. To make things worse, We have limestone all around here, so the lime in kettle or coffee maker is a lot, and, unless you wipe down the SS sink, after running the tap, you will later see the dry calcium deposits. This must affect arteries, heart, and kidneys, thus blood pressure. Just started on ACV unfiltered. Prayerfully and hopefully this will work for me. I've started getting my water from an Artesian Spring.
