    Apple cider vinegar is rich in nutrients and vitamins. When diluted apple cider vinegar is taken orally, these nutrients and vitamins may help to keep the bursae (fluid filled sacs in the joints) hydrated. While anecdotal evidence supports this claim, no scientific research does. Therefore, you should discuss this treatment with your doctor before trying it.

    On the Other: Relief Isn't Immediate

    On average, a person will have to take a mixture of apple cider vinegar, water and honey for at least two months before noticing relief from bursitis. This is the time it takes for the bursae to fully react to the introduction of the apple cider vinegar. During this time, it may be necessary to use other methods for relief.

    Bottom Line

    While apple cider vinegar may help to minimize the pain and stiffness associated with bursitis, apple cider vinegar won't cure bursitis. As such, diluted apple cider vinegar should be used as one part of a comprehensive plan to manage bursitis, as long as your doctor approves the treatment for you.
