I googled sinus infection your site was one that appeared. I read the article about acv and said why not try. I had a sinus infection going on three weeks still had headache and stuffed up. I drank 1/4 c acv straight and with 1-2 hrs felt better. I also tried 1c acv & 1 c water bring to boil and inhale steam, my nose started running within 5 min. I told my mother and she stated she, my father and also sister have used acv previously. Also my grandmother said she used to drink it and my mother thought she was nuts. It does work try it you will see.

Anne from Tahuya WA: continued from Feb. 16th: this is Feb 17th: yesterday I drank ACV for the 1st time and left input on this site, said I would be back! I woke up this morning feeling better then i've felt in a long time. (1)all the inflammation in my sinuses and chest is gone, including my back and neck (I had a triple disk neck fusion 3 years ago and have issues with swelling still(2)I could feel my sinus's draining, which usually took about 3 days of heavy antibiotics, but this morning was a miracle(3)I have more energy then usual (4)I can breath better because my chest is clear(5)I feel like a new person today. Thank you for this site! I have been emailing all my friends and telling them about ACV and the effects.

February 16th: OK, this will sound obscure but but I was desperate. I started out searching the web for yeast infection cures and found that drinking ACV 3X a day could cure it for most of us gals. I then decided to look up ACV on the web to see what other things it cured (it seemed to be one of the ingredients in yeast & sinus infection remedies): I found this site and was amazed at what I've read. In the mean time i've already drank a good dose of ACV for the yeast problem, but also have a sever sinus infection, and 10 minutes after drinking it I can feel everything stirring up! Faster then antibiotics. If this cures both issues, then I will drink it all the time. I will update again in a couple days and let you all know! I love this site and what i've read from everyone.

This past week I did develop a sinus infection- the constant headache, pain in the nose area, and just couldn't breath, so I couldn't sleep. I had planned to visit the doctor, but found this website first. I have ACV at home, so that nite, a couple days ago, I drank a glass of water with at least one oz. of ACV in it. In 1 hour, my headache was gone and I could breath again, and slept great! I sniffed the ACV the next day and drank more of it, I don't think it taste bad, actually. I am completely cured of a painful sinus infection!!

I was sick for several days...had taken different OTC drugs, all the while drinking tons and tons of water, my sinuses were causing more and more problems. I was having major headaches from all the pressure, and I decided I was going to go get the ACV. I actually almost decided against going because I felt so bad, but I went. As soon as I came home I drank almost an ounce of it mixed with tea...at that time I had no sense of taste or smell, so it wasn't bad(just to add...I haven't been able to taste or smell for 4 or 5 days now), I started to notice within 30 minutes to an hour that I wasn't feeling so congested anymore, and the pressure on my sinus cavity was decreasing..I drank another 3/4 ounce ACV mixed with a glass of apple juice about 2 1/2 hours later..I went to bed feeling much better than I had felt just prior to taking the ACV. I woke up today and felt pretty good, but I decided I should probably drink it for the next couple of days, And when I drank it I realized I could taste and smell again!! Ewww, it tastes bad....but I'm SOOOO glad I can smell and taste again!! Thanks!!!

Last February, I had a horrible sinus infection for about five days that would not go away. My head hurt so bad every minute of the day and I suffered through endless pounding head-aches and sinus-aches. I couldn't breathe and had trouble sleeping every night. I tried NyQuill, Thera-Flu, and just about every other over the counter relief but nothing worked. I was between jobs and didn't have any health insurance so I couldn't afford the advice of a doctor. I visited this website, found the apple cider vinegar remedy. In my utter desperation I was willing to try anything no matter how bad it may have tasted.
I went to the grocery store, bought some ACV, and went straight home to try it. That was at 6:30 in the evening. Over the next few hours I had about 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup of ACV, 1/8 of a cup at a time mixed with either apple juice or tea. By 11:00 that night I was already feeling better and by the next afternoon my sinus infection was almost completely gone with full relief that evening. Within 24 hours apple cider vinegar cured what no other medicine could even help to relieve in almost a week's time!!
I started my new job a month later in March and since then have once again had health insurance but haven't had to use it. If I feel myself getting even a little sniffle, runny nose or sore throat, I take 1/8 cup of ACV mixed in with some tea and wipe out whatever illness may have been coming. I would recommend this to anyone and it is the cheapest medicine you can find at less than $2 a bottle. Thank you so much for this website! It has really helped me and I hope it continues to help others with great advice.

I read about the ACV remedy to cure a sinus infection and I must admit that at first I didn't believe it. I was desperate to try anything because I never had a sinus infection before and I couldn't stand the pain. My husband had a sinus infection for more than a week and nothing he took worked. So I tried the ACV remedy and I was very impressed and relieved. It tasted awful but it worked in less than 15 minutes.. my sore throat, phlegm, sinus pressure and headache were gone. I woke up the next morning feeling great. I'm so glad I tried it, otherwise I would of been suffering with the pain for a long time. I called everyone I know and recommend them to try it the next time they get a sinus infection. Thanks!
