Hi all, I came across this website after getting really tired of doctor's medication which have not made me better and have in fact made my stomach sensitive. I was searching for a remedy for sore throat and tried cloves. After sucking/chewing 4-5 cloves in a day, my throat felt MUCH better and the next day it was totally gone!! I was so GRATEFUL dat I didnt need antibiotics 4 it!

I also have a sinus infection and share similar symptoms as many here. Ive been trying ACV for the past few days and have gotten up each morning with yellowish-green phlem coming outof my nose. Its making me feel like ACV is cleansing my sinuses. The great part is my face and head feels very light d whole day after dat!! From now, this website is on my 'favourites' list and is my best friend! thank you.

I am SO excited! I have had a sinus infection now for about a week which came on as a result of a common cold. And to top it off, I'm pregnant, so taking medication is out of the question for me. Of course, that's not why I'm excited. I'm excited because I found this website that told me about apple cider vinegar. I have been drinking 2 Tbsps twice a day now for 2 days followed by 2 glasses of water (about 16 oz). I tell you, my sinus infection is GONE. This makes me so happy because I have suffered from chronic sinus infections for over 7 years now. I have taken many different antibiotics and gone through many different procedures to help alleviate them, but nothing has worked as well or as FAST as this totally natural remedy. I wish I would have looked this up sooner! I also delved a little surther into the website and found a recipe for Tomato Tea which I've been drinking before going to bed. It tastes pretty good, actually, and I really think it helps to clear my nasal passages. I also have been oil pulling as the website suggests. I don't know if that's doing any good, and it really turns my stomace, so I don't know if I'll continue with it, but I will as long as I can. Thank you SO much for letting the world know about this stuff.. it's important! I have been telling all my friends.

I have had sinus infections since I first became pregnant at the age of 22 (I'm now 36) I have tried EVERYTHING you can possibly think of...antibiotics, STRONGER antibiotics, saline sprays,steam, CAT scans just to be on the safe side....outside of physically banging my head off the walls, I have tried it all. I was at the point where, and not really wanting to do this,I was going to talk to a dr. about having an operation for it. So thinking this is my last chance before I do something drastic I came across this site. Let me tell you....I feel wonderful. I did the ACV all day yesterday and this is the first morning, in a very LONG time, that I did NOT wake up with a massive headache. I can absolutely feel something is working in there.I feel like I may be able to function today. BUT the only problem I am having is that the ACV is giving me horrible gas and I am running to the bathroom within 30 mins of drinking it. Am I doing something wrong? I am only using 1/4 cup ACV and a full glass of water. I haven't seen anyone else write of this problem so just thought maybe I'm not doing it right, not eating enough or doing it too often....Any info on this is appreciated.
My next venture is taking the Black Strap Molassas. I hear THAT does wonderful things too.

Yesterday was day 4 of sinus agony. I wanted to avoid the local clinic because the doctors there treat patience who use home natural cures like neurotic wack-jobs. So instead of subjecting myself to their condescention I logged on to your website and made a ACV cocktial. Tasted nasty but within 15 minutes the pressure disappated so much that my ear popped and I could hear again. Within an hour I was 80% better, by morning I was pain-free. There is still slight congestion but I will continue on with the ACV treatments. I also appreciated the information on sinus sprays and over the counter allergy pills and the side effects. I knew they weren't good but now I have new options to try.

I drank 16 oz of water with 2 tbs of ACV and the next day I had nausea too. No vomiting yet, but I don't have it in me to drink another concoction feeling so nauseated.

So I developed this awful sinus infection after getting the flu. The pressure was awful with intense bouts of pain when bending down or coughing. After a couple of days I went desperate to the doctor requesting some meds for relief, she prescribed me an antibiotic. I hate antibiotics and try to take them only when inevitable. So I found this website, bought some apple cider vinegar and wow did it work! It made me sneeze a few times after drinking it and my nose became runny. After a couple of days the pain was totally gone! Also I slept as a baby because my nose is was no longer congested. So I would like to spread the word on this great remedy. Before heading for the antibiotics try this first!

Some like it hot!! I just finished a course of antibiotics for bronchitis and less than a week later got a sinus infection. I was miserable and didn't want to take another course of antibiotics because I'm pregnant and didn't like the idea of being on them in the first place. I spent the first night tossing and turning, miserable from the pressure in my face, the pinchy/stabbing around my eyes, and running to the bathroom to blow my nose. The following day I looked up natural remedies and came across this site. I've heard of ACV's therapeutic qualities, but this was the first time I heard of this. Since I've prepared this as a tea before I immediately boiled some chamomile tea, dropped 2 Tbs in a 16 oz. mug, added honey and lemon and drank it down. Within minutes I could breathe, and within the hour my sinuses felt so much better that I actually felt like I was going to be okay again. I did it again before bed and slept through the night! This is my thrid day and no pain, drip, or pressure! So to all those that can't stand the tast but want the therapy, try it hot!

I had the classic pain and pressure in my sinus area (pain in my teeth and around my cheekbones). I leave for Disneyland in 2 days, and I can't spend that time at the doctor's office! I had already tried sudafed to no avail. Like everyone, I googled Sinus Pain Remedy and found this website. It took about an hour for me to notice a difference after drinking some ACV and water (I did 1/4 cup in 8 oz water). I used Heinz ACV because I had it on hand. I repeated it twice yesterday (finally adding some honey because the taste IS pretty bad). This morning, I have no more pain, and just a little pressure left. THANK YOU!

I recently had taken antibiotics for a sinus infection and ended up with a male yeast infection with severe external blistering and irritation. Found your website and read about acv for sinus and yeast. Not willing to go back on meds that caused this nasty thing I started on 2 tbsp organic acv and 1/4 tsp baking soda as internal and straight acv for external cleansing of blistered area .Did this 3 to 4 times daily. It burned for a few seconds but then all itching and burning stopped .In 4 days the blistering and irritation were gone and have not returned. Am still using acv to finish curing this sinus infection and other diabetes related problems also noticed better & easier digestion.Thanks for a great batch of info Highly recommend this site to all.

I am so happy I found your web site! I was feeling horrible from a sinus infection that I had. Really bad headache, pressure around the sinuses and eyes, and constant runny nose. Clear liquid. I saw your information about drinking 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar with 8 oz. water and started it around 3 pm. I was actually able to breathe, cough less and slept last night! I feel so much better today! It totally worked for me.

Took Apple Cider Vinegar for 4 days in a row. I thought it would relieve the sinus infection that I had. No such luck. Still have sinus infection. Tried the natural way, but it looks like I will have to go to the doctors. I tried and it didn't work.

Be careful about self diagnosing your sinus infections. I was taking ACV for them and was just feeling worse and worse. I went to see a nutritionist and it turns out the sinus problems were actually a symptom of virus, parasites and candida. And ACV is probably the worst thing I could have been taking. These ailments cause other kinds of reactions that mock sinus infection. See a doctor before taking anything.

Oh My Goodness: I am two days into drinking the honey lemon vinegar tea and I am must say that I slept better the last two nights than I have in years. I was suffering with a sinus infection and was on antibiotics, as soon as I drank just one cup of vinegar and water my head cleared up. I have been doing the ACV tea 3 times a day for the last couple of days and I feel great. Thank you so much for putting this valuable information out on the web.

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.

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!
