20 Healthcare Uses of Apple Cider Vinegar

         You have heard about what lemon or coconut oil can do around your house, but have you heard about Apple Cider Vinegar?

You can use it in your first aid kit, beauty bag, home and kitchen. Plus, it`s all natural and non-toxic.

In this article I will examine the proven healthcare uses of apple cider vinegar, ACV. Here are 20 creative healthy things you can do with apple cider vinegar. 

When using it as a health and beauty product, make sure to purchase raw, unfiltered organic apple cider vinegar!

Natural health benefits 

1. Soothes A Sore Throat

Vinegar is naturally antibacterial, so it can help kill any bacteria that may be causing you discomfort in your throat. 

Combined with honey, a powerful antiviral and anti-inflammatory, ACV works better than most cough syrups.

Combine 1 tbsp. ACV, 1 tbsp. cayenne pepper and 3 tbsp. raw honey in a glass of warm water. Cayenne pepper will help relieve any lingering pain.

2. Eases Gas and Constipation

Vinegar has a similar acidity of hydrochloric acid, the acid produced in your stomach that helps break down food. Simple dilutes a tbsp. of ACV into warm tea and drink before a heavy meal.

3. Relieves Heartburn

Heartburn can be caused by your body producing too little stomach acid. In fact, naturopaths often suggest taking a tbsp. of ACV with a bit of honey, if you feel any symptoms coming on.

4. Soothes Sunburn

For quick relief, pour a lukewarm bath and add a cup or two of ACV into the water. Soak for ten minutes. This will help restore your skin’s pH, making your skin feel cool and soothed.

5. Relieves Burns

Similarly to how ACV eases pain in sunburns, it can also help with first degree burns. Simply apply a little ACV onto a burn to quickly relieve pain. However, do not use it on open wounds or 2nd or 3rd degree burns.

6. Heals Bruises

To help diminish the appearance of bruises, warm up a cup of ACV and mix in a teaspoon of sea salt. Apply to the bruise as a hot compress every day until the bruise subsides.

7. Treats Fungal Infection

Use AVC for topical infections such as ringworms or athlete’s foot (2). Simply use a cotton pad to apply ACV directly to affected area or soak in a solution made of 1 part ACV 5 parts water for 30 minutes daily. To treat toe fungus, you’ll need to follow a more extensive regime.

8. Soothes Sore Muscles

After a hard at work or at the gym, take a tablespoon of ACV with water or apply it topically onto the affected area. For generalized pain, add a cup or two of ACV to a hot bath and soak for 10-20 minutes.

9. Relieve a Stubborn Itch

Some itches never seem to quit. Instead of reaching for your polysporin, saturate a Q-tip in ACV and apply directly to the itch. It might sting a little, but the itch will quickly subside.

10. Combat Insulin Insensitivity

ACV helps to control glucose metabolism and stabilize blood sugar. Use it in warm water before and after meals to help keep your diabetes in check.

11. Clears Sinuses

Another cold remedy! Drinking a tablespoon of ACV diluted in a warm glass of water will help break up mucus and relieve stiffiness.

12. Circulates Lymph

Naturopaths suggest ½ tablespoon of ACV in lemon water to help circulate lymph and blood.

13. Boosts Energy

Simply add a little to your morning tea or water for a quick boost.

14. Heals an Upset Stomach

An upset stomach can have many different causes and can be hard to treat. However, ACV is one of the best all-around remedies to ease nausea and stomach pain.

Combine 2 teaspoons of ACV, 1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger and a one tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon into a paste. Stir it into 8 ounces sparkling water and top it off with a little raw honey to improve the taste.

15. Exercise Fatigue

Drink a tablespoon of ACV in a cup of water after your workout to alkalize your system and fight lactic acid. It also contains amino acids help repair and rebuild muscles and fight exhaustion.

16. Heals Yeast Infection

Yeast infections often occur in women after taking antibiotics. However, it can be easily cured by soaking in a warm bath with 1 ½ cups of ACV and soak for 20 minutes.

17. Allergy Medicine

Since ACV can help clear congestion and ease a sore throat, it can safely be used to manage allergy symptoms. Simply drink a glass of water with 1 tablespoon each of ACV and raw honey.

18. Cramp Relief

Traditional medicine practitioners swear by rubbing ACV on muscle cramps to diminish the intensity and pain.

19. Weight Loss AID

The acetic acid and fiber in raw, unfiltered ACV help to increase satiety. Take ½ tablespoon in warm water every day before meals to help control your appetite.

20. Liver Detox

To clean your liver, take 1-2 teaspoons of ACV in an 8 Oz glass of hot water first thing in the morning. Make sure to eat clean and stay hydrated for best results.

Organic Apple cider vinegar is a must have in every home.
