From everything I've read it is said that the potassium in apple cider vinegar is beneficial to both the heart and blood pressure.This is the traditional way: 2 TBLS of ACV in 8 oz of water 3x a day. Add honey to taste. That's what I do for acid reflux...it works for me.
You should never drink it straight...hard on the teeth...you should also follow this soloution with a galss of water to rinse the teeth...also you could brush your teeth...it can cause erosion of the enamel and make your teeth sensitive.
Do a google search on it...or buy a book...there are many books on ACV and they have lots of recipes and remedies in them!!!

Unfortunately,
An ounce of cider vinegar contains only 22 mg. potassium (source: USDA database). Considering that we need in excess of 3,000 mg./day, if any benefit accrues to cider linegar use it's from somthing besides it's potassium content.
I'm pretty sure it's an old wive's tale!

Hi Lucy, may I ask how long you have been using this remedy? I also have acid reflux besides the hbp. Have read many articles about the ACV but is there any specific ACV you should use?

I've had reflux for about 3 months...I used the ACV & honey 3 x's a day before each meal...I felt so good after a few weeks that i cut down to 2 x's a day...then 1 time...now I have been off of it for a few weeks and no more reflux or sour stomach...or belching that burns...I might start back, just as a detoxification..and even though some think it is just an old folk remedy...a lot of people swear by it for many different things.
You can use a store brand, but organic is the best...from a health food store..I use the store brand. Soem people swear by 100% Aloe vera juice for reflux too...I never tried that. Do a google search on ACV and aloe vera juice..much info on both.
