Many people who believe in folk remedies think of apple cider vinegar as nature’s miracle drug. People everywhere have been using it to treat everything from acne to the appearance of varicose veins. It can add benefit to weight loss and help to resolve digestive and urinary problems. Here are just a few suggestions to try to show you what apple cider vinegar can do for you.
To treat acne mix two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar with one 8 ounce glass water and apply it to affected areas several times a day. Using the same solution at night and a treatment of undiluted apple cider in the morning applied to the skin you can reduce the appearance of varicose veins. Add a teaspoon of onion juice to the mixture and you’ll find an effective treatment for age spots.
Adding two teaspoons of water to a glass of water can help promote weight loss, relieve pains associate with menopause or menstruation and help to treat hot flashes and night sweats. It will also help the body with digestion and constipation. Add honey to the mixture and you’ll find yourself a cure for muscle cramps. The same amount added to cranberry juice can help to clear urinary tract infections. Apple cider vinegar is effective in treating these conditions because it helps the body to better absorb magnesium and calcium and is known to help the body break down fats.
A 50/50 mixture of apple cider vinegar to water applied to the skin can relieve the pain associated with burns and sunburns. It’s a natural topical that not only cools but is effective in killing bacteria. Because it’s a natural disinfectant using the 50/50 mixture on a wet rag makes a powerful and affordable cleaner.
Apple cider vinegar is a natural enemy of yeast. Treating the roots of your scalp with ACV in its undiluted form and leaving it on the scalp for an hour before rinsing can be used to treat dandruff. Because it targets yeast it can also be used to treat athlete’s foot and even yeast infection. There are a seemingly unlimited number of various home and folk remedies, even including an apple cider vinegar diet for weight loss, involving apple cider vinegar, but only time and more testing will tell just how effective this can be.
