Hope my liver is not the culprit producing the yellow mucous in my left sinus, but after sitting upright reading this search result at 1:59 AM, my face feels better... and now I can breathe through my nose. Beside me now is a 16 ounce glass of cider vinegar (and free spring water from Route 2 in Jefferson, NH). I'm feeling better and better after every sip. Have used cider vinegar and water gargles from "The Vermont Doctors" vinegar and honey recipes for years and have always been astounded at the amount of material which drains from sinuses after a head back set of several seconds of warm water, vinegar and salt gargles.
Have stayed away from ice cream and other milk desserts for the reasons noted here. I believe fungus is another culprit but its difficult to stay away from all of them without living in a sealed box. I try to avoid or eliminate them from my breathing environment.

I suffered from bad throat and cough, blocked nose especially at night. It was so bad that as if I could not breathe, so I have to get up so often night causing sleeping problems. It was so bad that doctors thought I had asthma. Whenever I eat spicy food, I tend to get choked easily and it was so embarrassing. Sought help from ENTs (Ear Nose & Throat Doctors) but no avail and to extent they recommended surgeries. It was a friend who recommended me and literally forced to drink a mug at her apartment. In fact, it was almost instant remedy on road to recovery. I mix a tablespoon with a mug of water and drink in the morning. After about a month, it sort of cleared the irritants in my throat and I hardly have any bad throat problems, blocked nose problems at night and I hardly cough like I used to have like a monthly occurence. Apple cider really helps on sinuses. No need to go to doctors! Now I can sleep so soundly.

I believe I am suffering from a recurring sinus infection due to allergies which are extreme this season here in the Coachella Valley Desert. I can't believe the results that I have already seen. The infection is gone from the sinus area. Now I'm just hacking up phlegm, which makes me think that it's breaking up and on it's way out. What really trips me out is that Apple Cider Vinegar and water is helping me to overcome this yuck. I will be keeping up the treatments along with building up my immune system. This has opened up my eyes to really clean myself up. I am so glad that I went Web Searching little more than a week ago. You guys are awesome and I have already book marked your site. Thank you. Laura D.

I have taken apple cider vinegar pills and a teaspoon of honey from my local area to combat allergies. I have had much success with this combination and have told several others who were desperate for anything. All of them reported improvements in their allergies, relieving especially hay fever symptoms.

I was skeptical in believing that ACV would help my sinus infection. However, I took 2 tablespoons by itself and I felt my throat burning. Immediately it cleared up my nasal passages, and my throat was so much better. It was instantaneous! Forget going to the doctor!

my nose constantly runs clear in the morning and other times and I have found sniffing _______s acv and water stops it, its better than taking allergy pills.

I found your site recently while looking for help with allergies/sinus problems. I now realize that I may have a sinus infection from a recent cold I had. I've been taking the apple cider vinegar regiment for two plus days now and I've noticed at least two things: higher energy, and better complexion. My sinus problem is putting up a fight, but I have a good feeling about this cure. I hope it works.

I am a believer! I had a sinus infection, did a search online in hopes of finding a cure w/out a prescription, found this site by chance,and tried a few things. I started with the apple cider vinegar (_______'s) and it helped, but the miracle happened when I bought oil of oregano capsules. Two days later, I could breathe at night and my mucus was well on it's way to clearing up. I continued for a couple more days after that and I am cured. In the meantime, I have been drinking the ACV in the morning to help clear me up (I think it is allergies at this point) and it works great. I also suffer from migraines and I am excited to hear this will help. One thing I tried that worked OK but didn't make much difference for me was the tomato drink for congestion. I am not giving up on it though because it has lots of garlic and vitamin C. I am grateful to this website! Thanks!

I have had chronic problems with sinus infections for the past couple of years. I recently got another infection and decided to look online for remedies instead of run to the doctor again - traditional medicine doesn't always help anyway and is costly. I already had a bad full blown sinus infection going when I found this website and read about ACV. I called a local health food store to find organic ACV and went and got some right away. I took my first dose of ACV before going to bed last night. I was in AWFUL shape when I went to bed, but was a little better when I got up this morning. I have rested today and taken 3 more doses of the ACV tonic today. It is now 24 hours since I took the first dose and I have to say that right now I am remarkably better than I was last night. I am not completely better yet, but very much better than I was yesterday. These sinus infections usually hit me hard and make me miserable for several days. I am at least functional and feel like I am improving all the time instead of getting worse like I usually do when I get this. So... I guess I am saying that at least in my case, it helped a lot to do this even after I already had it bad, but I plan to continue with the tonic indefinitely 1-3x a day to see if it helps prevent future infections. I have learned a lot from this site and plan to keep visiting the site. I read the warning about how the acid can harm your teeth. I have been putting 1/2 tsp of baking soda in a 6-8 oz glass of water to use as a mouth rinse right after I drink my tonic so as to neutralize the acid in my mouth and prevent problems with my teeth. I will let you know if that seems to prevent any problems. Thanks again. I am feeling better.

I don't know why I've never searched the net before for a cure, but I did this morning, because I was desperate. My Doctor has given me several things over the years to help w/ almost chronic sinus problems. Some things have worked, but only for a short time. Today, I bought some All Natural Apple Cider Vinegar. I poured an unspecified amount in a bottle of Aquafina and took a sip... Right there in store's the parking lot. I was amazed that within 10 seconds or so of my first two sips, I could actually breathe through both nostrils for the first time in 3 days. I was utterly amazed. Thank you whoever figured this one out... You are my hero.

I do not like to take medicines, but I was feeling so awful that I took some sinus medicine last night and went to bed. I woke up this morning feeling worse, this is my third day. I went online to look for natural cures for sinuses and came across your website. I am back to say a huge THANK YOU!!!! I took ACV at 10:00pm and by 10:06 I was on the phone telling my friend about this stuff!! I can breathe!!! It is now 10:25 and my headache is almost gone!! I still cannot believe this... Thank you, thank you, thank you.

My husband and I have both tried the Apple Cider Vinegar and it has helped tremendouslY with our chronic sinus problems. My infection is gone and it helps thin the mucous. My elderly aunt told me about ACV for sinus 20 years ago but I did not heed at that time.
