Arthritis usually causes chronic inflammation, pain, and stiffness in the joints of the body. This pain and stiffness is often unbearable. There is no permanent cure for it. However, you can get relief from the painful symptoms.
Using Apple cider vinegar for Arthritis can help relieve you from the constant pain in no time. It has been commonly recognized as the most effective natural remedy for arthritis pain.
Read below to learn how its healing properties can help you live a pain-free and active life in spite of your arthritis.
How is Apple Cider Vinegar Good for Arthritis?
- Mineral deficiencies can exacerbate joint pain. Apple Cider Vinegar contains the calcium, magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus your body needs to dull that pain.
- The magnesium in apple cider vinegar helps bones absorb calcium, which is essential to bone strength.
- Apple cider vinegar also contains antioxidants, beta-carotene, and acetic acid. Anti-oxidants block the damaging effects of free radicals, preventing the cell and tissue damage characteristic of degenerative conditions like arthritis.
- It is rich in enzymes and acids that promote proper digestion and the absorption of the nutrients essential to healthy joints.
- Arthritis pain is partially caused by metabolic waste that is stored in connective tissues. The pectin, acetic acid, and mallic acid in apple cider vinegar help absorb toxins and flush them out of the body.
- When consumed, apple cider vinegar reduces the pain and stiffness of arthritis by dissolving the acid crystals that build up in the joints.
- Once it is processed, apple cider vinegar leaves behind an alkaline residue that helps balance the body’s pH.

I have read that RA is caused by mycoplasma which is a bacteria with no cell walls. Evidently this mycoplasma was weaponized. The articles mention this being connected to Lyme, Parkinson’s, RA,MS etc, etc. So things can be cured by getting rid of the mycoplasma.

Amazing. Started using ACV 4 days ago and the pain I’ve had for the last 20 months in my hip is almost completely gone. I noticed decreased pain the very first day. Naproxyn and Aleve never worked this well and I hate taking drugs anyway.

I am suffering from RA for 5 years can i take ACV without doctor suggestion and how to take ACV pls
If you have been taking any medicines for RA then we recommend consulting a doctor as ACV can interact with few medications. If it doesn’t interact with you are free to take. We have mentioned various methods in the article.
I have severe arthritis in my whole body . Specially my both knees. & I have bakers cysts under my knees. Please let me know how I use vineger or you have any other remedies . Pills & steroids shots do not help.
The methods are mentioned in article. Apart from that take warm showers or immerse the painful areas in warm water. You can also use hot or cold compress to relax the stiff muscles.
There is one thing very contradictory in this article.First you mention ACV has potassium which is very good for calcium absorption and when taken it makes your body alkaline and then in warnings you say since it has potassium and it is acidic itdecreases bone density.Rheumatoid arthritis patients usually have osteoporosis as well.So what should one believe is it good or bad.
Apple cider vinegar contains potassium yet if it is taken on regular basis for a longer period of time then the acidity present in ACV decreases the potassium levels. ACV with insulin can also decrease the potassium levels in the body.
How about if I take diabetes meds (janumet) is acv ok n how much should I take? Arthritis on my feet

I have chronic osteoarthritis from an old groin injury that wasn’t properly addressed in a timely manner. So far I haven’t experienced a huge difference but it may be too soon to tell. Do you know if ACV has been successful with osteoarthritis due to old injuries? I’m relatively healthy and eat the right foods. Thanks

There is no limit set for consuming ACV. But too much of anything gives nothing. So it would be great to limit the consumption up to 4 – 6 tablespoons per day depending on the severity of the problem.

I live in France and in the beginning feb march 2016 I started to notice a dull ache in my back , that was put down to a pulled muscle, but in June after terrible pain all over my body for some weeks I was sent to hospital for x-rays and the lab for blood tests and on the 6th June was told I had RA and that it was not curable and I would need drugs and injections to control the pain, but after contacting the Margaret Hills clinic in Uk and starting the diet and ACV+pure honey 3 x a day and cutting out all alcohol and processed foods and meats. The Dr when he heard of this method I was going to try gave me a month until the 7th July, I gave him back the remaining drugs I had taken for 10 days. On the 7th July I was back in front of him the lab con firmed that I do not have RA any more ( I was lucky that my joints and skeleton was said to be fine and in good condition ) I know the damage done by these disease’s is not repairable. But RA can be cured with this treatment and one stops taking in the food stuffs that cause it to start with . Its good to see people are catching on instead of always listening to the words ” Its not curable, you will have to live with it “
Thanks for sharing your experience.
What food stuff are you talking about
I’ve always used ACV for my chickens, for health benefits and keeping waterers from turning green, but now I’m starting to use it for all my many chronic pains…..i.e. Osteo and Rheumatoid arthritis, degenerative disc disease, osteoporosis etc. Just wondering, is there anyone who has ever had this miracle cure help lower blood pressure?

Drink diluted apple cider vinegar for boosting your immune system but don’t drink castor oil. Use castor oil to massage the affected areas as it helps to loosen the stiff joints.
I’ve had RA for 20 + years now and have a scar tissue lump on my elbow that limits
my range of motion a lot. Do you think that ACV can help get rid of it?

Recently I suffered an episode of severe pain that weakened me and make me feel almost paralyzed.. I thought it was yellow fever or RA. I started ACV 3 times a day and the hot baths with 2 cups of ACV. The relief after the bath was great and greater the morning after. I massaged with the ACV and coconut oil. It work. The ring with 3 teaspoons of ACV in mint tea and hone and cinnamon started to work within the first 24 hours. I was able to feel better, the fatigue went slowly away. The tightened was loosing it and the pain was dissolving…
Now I ask, Can I give it to my dog? She is 70 lbs boxer and 14 years old.
And to my husband. He is 47 years old and healthy otherwise, he was diagnosed with Cilliac disease 2years ago and the pain is making him miserable. Would ACV help him??
Thank you so much for the help!!
Yes, you can give it to your dog as well. ACV dosage for dogs is 10ml or 1 teaspoon per day. You mix it into the water they drink. Apple cider vinegar helps to digest the gluten so it should give relief to your husband. Let him try it for few days, if he doesn’t get any relief then let him stop using it. Add 1 – 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to water and let him drink it before meals. He can also drink it whenever he experiences pain.
Last week Dr said that I have arthritis in my left knee it was to pain ful I could not bend my knee. so now I have decided to take ACV so let see if it will work on my arthritis and special on my knee, I just started the first dose today 27-08-2016.

It is good to hear that the pain and stiffness had reduced. Regular follow up of the process helps in healing RA to maximum extent. Don’t stop using mixture once the pain and stiffness is reduced. Follow the process at least once in a while to prevent recurrence of the discomforts in future.

I recently found that I have arthritis in the left side of my neck along with a bone spur. I’m going to start mixing 1 tea spoon in a glass of water every morning to see how this helps with the pain and inflammation. I’m seeing a Physical Therapist now in addition to my family Internist who proscribed me Celebrex ( 1 200mg daily) for the neck discomfort. It would be awesome if I could stop the medicine after getting on the ACV.
Let us know how it helped you.
my mother is arthritis patient with over body wight.. she is finding her body swelled after taking ACV.. should she continue with ACV or stop taking it
If she is feeling swollen up then it is better to avoid it. You can try other home remedies for arthritis mentioned in this article – http://wellness.guide/arthritis/
All of my arthritis is “trauma-based” (from injuries). WilL ACV be an option?
It may help. So you can try it.
Very useful tips. I am using ACV (1 Tablespoon in one glass of water) daily for a month now. Does it have effect on diluting body fat? Can it be consumed by people of all ages? Does it open blocked fallopian tubes too? I read it somewhere.
Apple cider vinegar increases the metabolism which enables your body to burn the fat faster. It can be consumed by people of all ages. But it can lower potassium levels and blood sugar levels, decrease bone density if consumed in large amounts. Yes some claim to clear the blockages but we don’t have any scientific proof for that. Yet it can be tried.
Will ACV and honey plus tart cherry juice help shoulder pain caused from Arthritis——– how much how often?

My cat has severe arthritis in h spin and hips, I’ve checked with vet and he is fine to try ACV, he has been taking it for a week, and think it’s helping, but I was wondering how long it usually takes to have an effect?
It is difficult to tell the exact time frame. So, try giving acv regularly.
Hey i wanna say thank you all guys. I’ve read nearly all the comments above and all of them helped very very much. It’s 20th day of my “one table spoon apple vinegar+ 1 tea spoon honey+ hot water” drinking practice and i really feel much more comfortable as i have rheumathoid arthritis and even it was on the ‘flare up season’… i hate using meds and i believe in the listening to your body’s needs and search for them and surely give some time… -of course if you are not experiencing an emergency. So i will keep doing this and i added some supplement to my diet as glucosamin chondroitin, collagen, hyaluronic acid, flaxseed oil, evening primrose oil, etc… i will let u know about the progress, but i am full of hope thank u all again…
Is it ok to drink ACV straight-up?
Thanks!
Drinking undiluted apple cider vinegar can cause burning sensation to your esophagus. So, it is better to avoid direct consumption.
I’m considering mixing a tonic of 1T ACV, 1T honey, and 6 oz. warm water to drink in the morning to help with osteoarthritis in my knees. Does this sound like an effective mixture?

I have recently that I have arthritic that affected all my joint, I feel more pains in my head from October 2016 is four months now, so can using acv help to stop the pains?
Usually, arthritis doesn’t effect the skull because it doesn’t have any joints. We recommend consulting a doctor to find out the exact reason.
recently diagnosed with RA the side effects of the meds they want me to take scare me. I have knee pain every now and again and it is not like I “can’t” walk when I get he pain. I will be trying the ACV + organic raw honey method, and pray it helps me avoid the meds.
Recently I have been dignosed with high uric acid level in my body. My Dr. percribed me with ‘dynapar qps’ spray to reduce the inflamation. Meanwhile I am also using food supplement ‘Joint Care Omega-3 with Glucosamine’
My question is should I use Apple Cider Veneger too? Note that I’m suffering with stomach ulcers for 4 years now.
Thank you.
Apple cider vinegar doesn’t worsen the ulcers, in fact it helps to treat the problem. But it is better to avoid taking apple cider vinegar as it can interact with certain medicines.
I started taking. Acv for stomach pain a week ago. It’s been a miracle for my acid reflux, but since taking it it has caused every bone and joint in my body to flare up with extreme pain. I have Rh, osteo and psoriatic arthritis. I can barely move my hands now. Is this bad for psoriatic arthritis.? I can’t eat without it, yet I’m afraid it will cripple me.
Actually, apple cider vinegar is helpful in providing relief from psoriatic arthritis. But in you case, if it is worsening the problem then avoid consuming it.

Now i have done acupuncture treatment the pain is less but while climbing or descending the steps still pain is there. I go for a walk approx 2.5 K.M every day. When ever i feel pain in my knee then i sit for a while and then walk.
Can i take ACV will that improve my arthritis?
Yes, ACV helps to reduce the pain and stiffness in the joints caused by arthritis. The magnesium in ACV helps to absorb the calcium which is essential for bone strength.
Dear Madam,
How much time it shall take to cure approx time.Please.
It is difficult to tell the exact time as it differs from one person to another. So, try the method with patience until you get relief.
Does ACV help with the swelling associated with RA? I have stiffness and a little pain mostly, but there is swelling. No trauma to the knee at all.
Yes, ACV contains anti-inflammatory properties which reduces the swelling associated with Rheumatoid Arthritis. It also provides relief from stiffness and pain.
Well I want to tell you, I’ve been trying ACV and Tart Cherry juice 2 Tbls each in water at least 2 times a day. I’m scheduled to see an orthopedic specialist and a Rheumatoid specialist because my knee had swollen kind of large, lots of stiffness when standing for periods of time, a little pain but not much, just uncomfortable, as well as some pain in the right joint of my index finger. Its been a little over a week and the swelling went down significantly, I can walk almost normally with no stiffness. I tell you this is a miracle because I truly do not want to take Rx drugs for the rest of my life at the expense of my internal organs being damaged by them. I’m sure the ACV has a lot to do with alkalizing my body in some way, but I’m still thankful otherwise for you sharing this homeopathic solution.
I have been suffering from juvenile rheumatoid arthritis from last 26 years. My joints are deformed with no mobility in my knee elbow and wrist ie I am unable to walk. In fact all of my joints are painful with little or more pain. I have started taking acv apple cider vinegar and blackstrap molasses with honey 3 times a day since 1 and a 1/2 month my question is with the said drink can I get my mobility back n how much time will it take. Please reply….
The ACV drink may not get the mobility back however it helps to prevent the problem from worsening. To get mobility, you have to drink the concoction of parijatha or nyctanthes arbor leaves. Add handful of leaves into a cup of boiling water. Simmer for few minutes and remove from the flame. Strain and drink while it warm. Repeat the process regularly to notice the improvement.
I had both my knees replaced 3 years ago. One is fantastic but the other causes me a lot of pain and discomfort. Will ACV help me reduce the pain and slight swelling? Thank you
It may help with inflammation but however we recommend consulting your doctor before consuming ACV.
Hi
Recently I was told that ACV capsules are on the market. That helps avoiding the acidity effect of ACV on teeth.
What do you know about this? By the way thanks for the great article.
You can also take ACV tablets to get its benefits and avoid its effect on teeth. However, for proper dosage we recommend consulting a doctor.
My mom has septic arthritis can she take ACV?
Yes, she can take apple cider vinegar to get relief from the discomforts caused by septic arthritis.
I have had inflammation in both of my hands for several months now – feeling like a slight puffiness. I started using ac vinegar (1 tablespoon) with a big glass of water and almost immediately my hand inflammation reduced noticeably. After less than a week of doing this once or twice a day, my hands feel normal again; I can’t tell you how long it’s been since they felt this good.. I plan to keep this up as long as my hands are pain free. Also take with 1 teaspoon of fiber (metamucil, in the morning). I feel likes this is a miracle. I will tell all my friends in case they are feeling stiffness or inflammation in their hands. Best of luck to everyone else who tries this.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
I suffered excruciating pain on my Left Shoulder for 2 months. It was inflamed and very painful even to touch.
I sought help from Chinese (TCM) Physician. He suspected inflammation due to uric acid. I had not been
tested for Uric Acid so I am not certain if this was the cause.. Physician applied acupuncture, massage and
herbal patch to my left shoulder. Pain did eased off but sooner again the inflammation reoccurred.
A week ago, I started on Apple Cider Vinegar with 3 tablespoon into glass of water (250 ml), three times
a day, morning on empty stomach, afternoon and at night before bedtime.
A week later, I cannot believe the pain is gone.
If it decreases bone density what do take to counter act that ?
It is better to avoid ACV consumption for a longer period of time. It is better to take a gap of at least a week after consuming ACV daily for a month. Meanwhile to be on safe side, you can take potassium and calcium supplements to prevent reduction in bone density.
HI would like to know if apple cider vinegar is good for neck arthritis and can it be mixed with lemon and tumeric together
Yes, it helps to reduce the symptoms of neck arthritis. You can add lemon and turmeric into it. Add 1 – 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder into a glass of water and drink it.

I am really wondering why arthritis comes. Is it from genetic family? I am a letter carrier for 28 years. My hands, knees, feet neck from looking down for 8 to 10 hours all have it. I’m only 55. Is it possible to get rid of this arthritis via apple cider vinegar, honey, garlic, ginger and lemon juice. This was all cooked up and I keep in refrigerator eat 1 tbsp with warm water. I was given this recipe from a fellow carrier from India. All in 1 cup incriminate. Along with tumeric. Thanks for answer. I was told helps with diabetes and cholesterol. ?
Arthritis can be also genetic, or it can be caused due to weak immune system, muscle weakness, obesity, infection, calcium deficiency and many others. Arthritis cannot cured completely. However, you can reduce the discomforts to maximum extent with apple cider vinegar. Apart from that take vitamin D, calcium and omega fatty acid supplements or foods to strengthen your immune system and control the pain as well as stiffness. It is very important to do some light exercises to maintain the joint flexibility.
I have PMR and have posted a Question on June 5 I still have not seen a reply .I would very much like to hear your thoughts on my problem because I am worried about being on predisone for so long. the acv of two tablespoons with V8 juice does not seem to help ,
Will ACV with honey give the same result if I don’t take it in the morning, but before my main meal in the afternoon? I have knee problems.
Thank you
Drinking on an empty stomach in the morning help to remove the toxins from the body and improve your immune system. This helps to control the inflammation that leads to knee pain. So, it is better to drink it in the morning itself. However, you can also drink another time before having your main meal.
I have osteoarthritis of the right knee and meniscus repair in 2015. Since then my right knee is extremely inflafmmed and swollen and I can barely walk. Now my right hip is hurting I think it’s because I am limping because my know is so swollen I can’t straighten it out anymore. Which ACV remedy in the above article would you recommend for the quickest relief of the swelling?
Thank you
We suggest trying 2, 6, and 8th method mentioned in the above article.
I have posted a question twice about having PMR and talking ACV for the problem. I have been taking 2 tbs in the morning with 4oz of V8 juice and does not seem to be helping. I have not recieved a reply from Admin am I doing something wrong.

i take 10 to 15 mil straight down then drink a large glass of water.will that be alright to take it like that or do l have to mix it with water first
I am 75 years young and one of my earliest childhood memories is my dad drinking ACV and honey in warm water. He was almost 96 (lived alone and took care of himself, exercised
every day.) when he went to the dr. for a simple procedure and died a few weeks later. We determined afterward he got staph while in the hospital. I still do Bragg’s, local raw honey and doTerra essential lemon oil drops. I don’t take any prescription drugs, have nothing to take them for. I drink homemade colloidal silver for my immune system. No cold or flu in almost 25 years. Big Pharma and Monsanto are our worst enemies.
Hi,
I have AS. I am taking ACV in a glass of water from last 4 months along with few alternative therapies.
I am also following low carb diet and hence avoiding sugar and honey.
Your above posts suggest to have a good alkaline effect, ACV should be taken along with honey. Is honey required or I can continue with only ACV in water.
Thanks,
Sunny
I use MSM and Boswellia Serrata (an Ayurvedic remedy); both are very effective. I have hip arthritis, and especially after exercise, my leg will twitch randomly every few seconds – very unpleasant, and it stops me sleeping. Both MSM and / or Boswellia stop the twitching within 10 minutes or so, as well as controlling joint pain. I mentioned to a colleague at work that I have arthritis – he told me that his wife, who is a GP, has knee arthritis. I suggested Boswellia – she had never heard of it. She tried it and now he tells me that ‘she swears by it’
what is boswellia? i have never heard of it eather, and where do you get it.
I have cervical stenosis would Braggs help with the neck pain I have? would love to hear back.
i started taking 2 tabs ACV with quarter teaspoon Bi carb soda in a glass of water twenty minutes before eating twice daily.
RoseI have terrible pains in my shoulders and knees am I taking the right doses.,Have very painful writs and fingers
Can I take ACV while I’m in tubal ligation & CS after 2months..I have rheumatoid arthritis and all my joints are in pain it almost 1month.
I just recently started putting 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and a shake or two of turmeric and black pepper in my morning smoothies. The severe arthritic pain at the base of my thumbs is now gone so I am assuming that was the cure. Same time (for the most part but not 100%) I removed nightshades, gluten and sugar and most processed foods from my diet. I am a little confused though over nightshades and pepper. Is Cayenne pepper a nightshade for instance? Other than the broad category of potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant and peppers, what sauces, seasonings, fruits etc. could be considered nightshades? I have cut back on wine but drinking organic mostly. Does organic wine help or hinder RA symptoms?
