Apple cider vinegar is one of my all-time favorite household staples. There are many home remedies using ACV, everything from household cleaners to hair and beauty routines. This is one product I like so much; I think everyone should have it in their home!
Organic, unfiltered apple cider vinegar has a murky look to it. That’s okay though, in fact, that’s what we want to see when purchasing this product. the strands of protein, enzymes and friendly bacteria that make up this consistency is called the “mother”, and that’s the good stuff! Just give it a good shake before you use it.
Some of my treasured home remedies are:
- Canker sore treatment (it smarts, but it works).
- Sore throat remedy: dilute apple cider vinegar into water (1:1) and used as a gargle.
- Arthritis: mix 1 tsp of raw honey and 3 tsp of Apple cider vinegar into an 8oz glass of water and drink daily.
- Skin cleanser and detoxifier
- Rinse your hair with ACV to soften and reduce the frizz
Traditionally, it has been used to manage weight, maintain healthy blood sugar and cholesterol levels. You can check out my salad dressing recipe for a quick and easy way to add it into your diet.
If you are unsure what to buy, I would suggest trying Bragg’s. This company has been around for years, it’s inexpensive and you can buy it just about anywhere.
I’m sure there are other home remedy hacks that I have not listed. If you can think of one you’d like to add into the mix, let me know. I’m always interested in hearing about new ways to use good old products!
