apple cider vinegar - simple medicine

I have a cup of water with a splash of apple cider vinegar by my side right now. I drink it often. I don't add any thing else, just the water and the vinegar.

The Bragg organic is about the best I've come across. You can get it in health food stores.

It may me good for you. Who knows? I like the taste. Maybe my body is telling me something.
 
I sometimes take an ounce in a glass of cranberry juice. More refreshing than lemonade on a hot day. A lot better for you.
 
I used to have problems with acne on my back -- large pimples verging on boils. Have had 'em since I was in my teens. These cleared up after I started taking about 2 tablespoons of ACV in a glass of water with some honey two or three times / day. Actually, I started taking the ACV for other reasons, but was pleased when the acne cleared up. Now I find that if it starts up again, several days of the same regimen clears it up again. Anymore, I also drink just the ACV and water. I've gotten to like the taste, too. Like Howard, I like Bragg's.

OK I'm going to try this as I'm plagued by allergies, and sius infections.

Thanks guys.
 
They guy who told me of this said to take this three weeks on and rest a week.
I do not know what kind mine is. I do know it is nonpasteurised.

Anybody else get such advice?
 
It's also supposed to make your hair shinier if you rinse with it after shampooing (yes, I know that you are probably all guys and don't care). :)

Ahem ... We can use it to make our chest hairs soft and shiny. ;)

Unfortunately, most of our arm hairs are long gone from sharpness testing. :(
 
Son, if it can make my scalp hair shiny that would be a neat trick. :D

Unless it is a cure for baldness. :cool:

Funny thing is? You can taste the goodness in it. I just wouldn,t overdo it the first couple of glasses.
It is an acquired taste. I do not find it stronger than lemonade. Of course I rarely put sweetener in my lemonade.
 
to a glass of water. I remember reading that rome's legionaire's used it for general health and it was supposed to be a great thirst quencher on long marches.
 
Switchel and shrub were popular vinegar drinks from the western traditions. Good thirst quenchers on a hot day, although I wouldn't put sugar in mine.

from http://www.herbcompanion.com/recipes/06_07_05-Switchel

Switchel Syrup
2 parts vinegar
2 parts molasses or sorghum
4 parts raw sugar or maple syrup
1 part grated gingerroot (Zingiber officinale)

Put vinegar and molasses in a stainless steel or other nonreactive pot. Add grated ginger. Simmer slowly, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes. Strain, add sugar and let cool. Store in the refrigerator to mix up switchel as needed; 1 part syrup to 8 parts water is a good guideline.

Shrub
Traditional shrub calls for soaking fruit in an equal measure of vinegar for a couple of weeks, straining, then adding sugar and water. This recipe offers an herb-infused variation.

2 cups fresh lemon verbena
About 1 1/2 cups vinegar
1 to 4 cups sugar, according to taste
1 gallon cold water

Pack herbs into a pint jar; pour vinegar over herbs until jar is full. Let sit a few weeks, or heat the herbs and vinegar on the stove for 10 to 15 minutes. Strain. Stir remaining vinegar with sugar and water. Serve chilled.

My tastes have evolved from the relative complexity of a herb infused shrub to the simplicity of my vinegar and water though.

Vinegar is well liked in the east too. Red Flower likes it as much as I do.

Although I'm not sure I would drink the stuff from this Beijing bar. Nothing against the vinegar, but I don't think I'd want to choke down that coloring agent. http://english.people.com.cn/200412/24/eng20041224_168515.html
