Another natural, nutrient-rich liquid that the father of medicine, Hippocrates, used for treating and healing his patients as far back as 400 BC or so..!
Apple Cider Vinegar, more commonly and more simply known as ACV, the Magic Elixir or Elixir Of Life that has been around and made good use of for many thousands of yearswe know for a fact that the Romans, the Greeks and the ancient Egyptians used ACV to heal, to energise and to keep themselves strong and healthy in all ways.
Of course it isnt really magic, but the result of organic apples going through a double fermentation process, thus producing and preserving a goodly amount of thoroughly natural and very necessary health-benefitting nutrients with an added extra very special ingredient known as Mother.
Cutting To The Chase:
Mother of vinegar, or Mycoderma Aceti is the result of the combining effects of acetic acid and a cellulose that develops whilst fermentation is underwayit contains its own outstanding health-promoting nutrients and gut-friendly bacteria critical for your overall health and pH balance
and you dont have to rely on thousands of years of hearsay and folklore, there is plenty of scientific evidence documented and filed away for posterity as a result of trials and tests already carried out, and still ongoing, that verifies all that us supporters already know about ACVmother nature has provided us with yet another product, packed with all the goodies our body needs.
Oh yeah, before i forgetyou have to use the cloudy stuff, not the crispy clear type the cloudy proves theres Mother..!
Mother Natures Elixir Of Life contains:
Magnesium for your heart health
Iron for your blood health
Potassium for your heart, liver and kidneys
Pectin for assisting control of your blood pressure
Calcium for your teeth and bones
Ash for ensuring your body maintains a healthy alkaline/acid balance
Vitamins A, B C, E
Anti-oxidants lycopene, niacin, thiamin, riboflavin, beta-carotene
and much more!
One recent study showed that regular consumption of ACV significantly decreases the risk of cancer of the esophagus
Participants of a Japanese study undertaken over a twelve week period showed that regular consumption helped with weight-loss the studied group ended up with a lower BMI and much less visceral fat than those who did not regularly consume ACV.
Clinical trials showed that cancerous cells growing within the prostate were actually slowed.
again, theres much more..!
There is just a massive array i mean literally a ton of uses, for ACV via drinking or using as a salve, a rub-onBUT there is just one very simple ruleDILUTE..!
It is very acidic, so for a start it just wouldnt taste too good and then youd certainly feel it going all the way downits always good practice to mix it with water i.e. if a specific remedy requires you to swallow 3 teaspoons of ACV, just mix it into a glass of water for every individual treatment, its simply about the ACV to water ratio easy to grasp with the right guidance and a little practice.
A couple of simple home remedies:
SORE THROAT
cup of water
cup of ACV
Directions:
Mix water and ACV gargle 20-30 seconds rinse with clean water repeat until comfortable.

STAINED TEETH

SUNBURN
Bath of lukewarm water
1 cup of ACV
Directions:
Add the ACV to the bath water and soak for at least 10 minutes for relief.

This is what NATURAL health and wellness is all about this is the true essence of NATURAL..!
Why would anybody want to put inside their body anything which they cannot put ON iton their skin..?think about that..!
The poisons that we are not only consuming i.e. processed foods like sugar and GM foods like wheat, but also the ointments, deodorants and shampoos that we put on our bodies not to mention the toxic household cleaners and polishes that we happily splash and rub on anything that doesnt move are destroying our health and the health of our loved ones.
Its time to get back to NATURAL and Apple Vinegar Cider is one of the MOST natural substances that you can to incorporate into that natural way of doing things..!
Check out the load of other things ACV can be used for:
Detox helps to remove all those nasty toxins from the liver and strengthens the cardiovascular system.
Heartburn believe it or noteven though acidic itself, ACV helps to relieve reflux.
Candida due its naturally occurring enzymes, it will cure your gut of uncomfortable bloating and infections.
Weight Loss a couple of teaspoons added to 14-16 ounces of water and then sipped during the day has shown to significantly increase overall fat loss.
Aftershave fill a small bottle with equal amounts of ACV and water and VOILA, a natural and invigorating aftershave balm.
Hair as a rinseespecially for the ladiesitll boost body and shine.
Your Home it can easily replace other chemically-based toxic products normally used for cleaning or air-fresheningincluding in the bathroom.
This really isnt everythingwhen i say Multi-Purpose i mean Multi-Purposethere is an almost endless array of things for which you can use one of mother natures greatest gifts far too many to put into print here..!
A Final Anecdote:
The man-made food we are finding in our supermarkets and consuming these days is either heavily processed or genetically modified or its pumped full of nasty antibiotics, growth hormones or pesticidesbut on the other hand mother nature can and actually does provide us with a lot better
and ACV is just one of the many mother-nature-provided natural bad-health prevention foods that you should definitely use it isnt expensive and it goes a long wayget it, use it and enjoy the health benefitting results.

Heres a great hit-the-nail-on-the-head poem i found to finish off this post from Justapoet:
Apple Cider Vinegar, or ACV
A strange subject for a poem?
Well, maybe
But there is nothing oh so good for you
And about this I dont jest
For a multitude of illnesses
It really is the best
For acne, it will clear it up
In about a months time
Dont believe me?
You should have seen mine!
My back and chest were covered
The doctors didnt know
I read about ACV and thought why not?
And gave it a good go
My skin is clear and healthy
I really have a glow
And thanks to drinking ACV
My acne does not show!!
What else? I hear you ask,
Its uses are so many
For aches and pains, diabetes, weight loss
You must try if you have any
I really do not kid you
Read up and have a think
The only problem with it
Is the taste (yuk) and the stink!
