They Say Apple Cider Vinegar Is Great For You, But This Is What You Weren’t Told (Video)
(N.Morgan) The medicinal properties and health benefits of apple cider vinegar have become undeniable. For one thing, this common kitchen ingredient has strong antiseptic properties, which makes it an excellent tool against germs and bacteria.
It is also a powerful detoxifier that efficiently eliminates waste and toxins from your body. The raw unfiltered version of ACV is the most beneficial of all.
There is one drawback to this natural medicine and it’s the high acidic content of ACV, which can damage your tooth enamel if taken inadequately or improperly.
In this article you can find some unusual, but highly beneficial uses of ACV. Read on and learn how ACV can improve the quality of your life even in areas you weren’t aware of.
Health Benefits Of Apple Cider Vinegar
Hair loss
ACV makes an efficient natural remedy against hair loss. Losing 100 strands of hair a day is considered normal, anything above this is alarming. It’s usually the androgen hormones that trigger thinning hair or excessive hair loss. However, apple cider vinegar can restore the pH balance of the scalp stimulating healthy hair growth. It’s also beneficial for treating dandruff and itchy scalp. Last, but not least, it eliminates dead skin cells which normally clog the hair follicles and thus inhibit hair growth.
Asthma
Asthma is a serious lung condition that prevents proper breathing. Although there are a number of medications for treatment of this condition, you can also resort to natural remedies. One such remedy that effectively alleviates asthma symptoms is apple cider vinegar used as an inhaler.
Blood loss
Frequent nose bleeds that appear for no particular reason affect a large number of people. To treat this health issue, drink a mixture of 2 tsps. ACV and a glass of water three times a day. ACV is extremely beneficial for stimulating the natural blood clotting process.
Cough
Cold winter weather is normally accompanied by irritating and painful coughs. If you want to reduce cough symptoms without medications, use apple cider vinegar, preferably raw and unfiltered.

Insomnia
Mixing 1 tbsp ACV and 8 ounces water and drinking this before going to bed can help against sleeplessness. You’ll not only fall asleep faster, but also wake up refreshed in the morning.
Dizziness
Apples, which are low in sugar but high in acidity, account for the high acidic content in ACV. In fact, fermented apples are the main ingredient of apple cider vinegar. According to natural medicine, ACV can effectively relieve dizziness and vertigo by reducing blood pressure and blood glucose levels.
Ear discharge
Apple cider vinegar is extremely beneficial against ear infections as well. Simply mix equal amounts of water and apple cider vinegar. Then soak a cotton ball in the solution and place it in your ear like an earplug. Let it act for five minutes, remove the ball and lie down on the side of the infected ear so that the liquid drains out. You can even use a hair dryer to dry your ears afterwards. If the infection appears in the Eustachian tubes, you can also gargle using apple cider vinegar.

Nail problems
ACV not only balances the skin pH levels, but also increases the skin’s acidic level, thus killing fungus, germs, bacteria and other micro organisms causing nail fungus. It also alleviates pain and itching.

Even more things than I already knew, Thanks again N! I always have my 2 bottles of Braggs in the cabinet but during the summer I have to cut back a little because when I sweat it smells like ACV. I just cut back from 3~8oz per day to 2.

Vinegar Piss Tomato Tomatoe
Did you know you can even eat them!
Hello Angle#3(prelim),
Charlie here. Anything fermented is good for you but don’t take it too far. I tried replacing doughnuts with apple cider vinegar. Needless to say I came down with all the symptoms you mentioned.
Are doughnuts the cure all? Who knows… (fingers crossed)
Signed,
Charlie (All jokes aside I do find apple cider vinegar strangely fulfilling than plain water when you are thirsty. Try it sometime diluted as a thirst quencher)
I love it, a couple of teaspoons in 8oz of water and you are good to go. And on salads too.
Vinegar is great and all BUT BUT BUT you need to remember not to consume TOO much of it as it will effect your kidneys and teeth adversely.
Yeah, taking it straight is not good. Like anyone would wannu.
how do you test your pH balance of your scalp?
