'WOW, I have had a really bad Sinus infection for about a week now. I was looking to get some relief and I found this site. Reading everybody's feedback I decided to give it a try, I mixed 1/4 cup with 16oz of water and drank it down and to my surprise 30 mins later the heaviness in my chest was gone and my mucus was draining really well also my nose cleared up right away! This still is amazing. I am so glad I found this site. I will be taking ACV daily now to keep up my heath. I LOVE IT!!!! Thanks again.

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.

I followed directions exactly for three days(2 Tb AVC and 1 tsp baking soda in water 3X day) and also steamed with AVC in water about 5X/day. Also did nasal rinse following steaming. I would feel good relief for an hour or so, and then the sinuses would fill up again. After three days, pressure in head was so bad, that I broke down and took the antibiotics. I will continue to do AVC treatment because I also have reflux, and from what I've read, that takes two weeks. But I would love to understand why this didn't work for me. I am plagued with sinus infections, and get one every time I get a cold. I've only been able to treat them with antibiotics, but I've taken so many antibiotics that two years ago, I got C-diff, a nasty superbug that caused my current stomach problems. I now take probiotics religiously, but if anyone has any idea what I might be doing wrong (or how to get this to work better) I'd really appreciate it. I hate the antibiotics, but hate the sinus infections even more.

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 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.

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 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 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!

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 am normally sceptical, but yesterday I was also desperate. My sinuses hurt badly yesterday. At lunch time I went and got the store brand of Apple Cider Vinegar and spring water. I thought "what could it hurt." My sinuses felt like I would never recover. I took a dose of the ACV with 8 ounces of water and immdeiately, the congestion in my throat started to break up. By the middle of the day (and my second dose), my headache had mostly dissapated.I took the third dose before bed along with some sinus meds. Today: No Headache! My sinuses are still blocked some, but I was well on my way to a doozy of a sinus infection when I tried this, so even though the ACV did not cure me overnight, it did enough for me to continue taking "the cure" until my sinus infection is gone (hopefully by tomorrow). I can not believe the difference btween today and yesterday!!

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!

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.
