Does old remedy Apple Cider Vinegar & Honey have any medical acceptance as a pain reliever ?

[AlanN]

Has there been any research into the old remedy of Apple Cider Vinegar & Honey as a pain reliever ?   I have  a hip which becomes  so painful after sitting for 30 minutes that I have to stand.   MRI scans reveal spinal deterioration after 78 years, probably arthritis.  Painkillers Paracetamol mixed with  Ibuprofen ( in U.K.---  maybe different names in U.S.)  have helped.   I now seem to be in remission with no pain after 2 weeks of taking Apple Cider Vinegar & Honey ( 2 tablespoonfulls with an equal amount of hot water. )    This old remedy seems to work well for some people.  I wonder why ?

I heard this also from this 90 yr. old man who swims at the pool I go to.  He said it works great.  I'm going to send my son to get me some gin and try it.

I read in a book called food for cures that you are suppose to put golden raisins in a dish and cover with gin, let set until all the gin is disolved into the raisins and then you are suppose to eat 9 a day for athritis pain, I havent tried it yet but found it very interesting.

Hi Alan,

I am glad you found such an easy solution for your discomfort. Thank you for sharing it with us.

As I was reading your post I thought of my 80 year old father's 81 year old girlfriend. She drinks Apple Cider Vinegar (less often White vinegar) in various concoctions. And yes she uses Apple Cider Vinegar for severe arthritic pain and claims wonderful pain relief.

She has emphysema also. She heats up water and measures a certain amount of Apple Cider Vinegar into it along with some other common household substance(s) and she claims it helps her breath easier. She swears by the magical healing powers of her Apple Cider and White Vinegar.

But she also uses it to clean her windows and other surfaces!!!

Again, thanks for sharing. Take Care, Tuck

I believe the anti imflammory value has a great deal to do with why it has helped. I am glad to hear you have found something that works:)
