Can apple cider vinegar help arthritis?
My joints have been quite painful due to arthritis, especially in the mornings. I've heard some people try apple cider vinegar for it. Can apple cider vinegar really help reduce arthritis pain or inflammation?

My father has severe arthritis and we tried giving him ACV for a few weeks because of online articles. Honestly, it didn't make any difference to his joint pain. Regular physiotherapy and proper doctor-prescribed medication are what actually helped him.

I have been experiencing a lot of stiffness in my fingers lately and was wondering if ACV actually helps with the inflammation. Has anyone tried it long-term, or does it just cause acidity instead? I'm really nervous about starting new things.

While apple cider vinegar is believed by some to reduce acidity in the body, it is not a proven cure for arthritis. Keep your mind peaceful, practice light joint movements, and trust your medical specialist for proper care.

Instead of ACV, adding anti-inflammatory foods like turmeric, ginger, and fenugreek seeds to your vegetarian diet is much more beneficial for joint stiffness. ACV can be too harsh on the stomach if taken regularly.

Don't rely on ACV to cure arthritis. It has some mild anti-inflammatory properties, but it won't rebuild cartilage or stop joint damage. Focus on maintaining a healthy weight to reduce joint load and consult a rheumatologist.

My uncle tried drinking ACV daily on family advice, but it only ended up giving him severe throat irritation. When we consulted his orthopedician, they advised us to stick to medical treatments and physical therapy instead.
