Discovering A.C.V

I recently or not so recently discovered one of natures miracles called, Apple Cider Vinegar or ACV. I was researching natural home remedies for skin and hair and came across many websites and articles that goes on to explain how ACV is the remedy for almost any ailment you can think of. From acne to weight loss.
Apple cider vinegar is a completely natural product, resulting from the fermentation of apple juice to hard apple cider. Followed by a second fermentation to apple cider vinegar. This natural product retains all the nutritional properties of the apples from which it was made. Plus it is fortified with the extra acids and enzymes produced during the two fermentation steps. It's the sum of all these ingredients that give apple cider vinegar its amazing health benefits.
Apple cider vinegar benefits include many external uses, It can be used to sooth sunburns and insect bites, to make your hair shine, and to treat dandruff , used as a natural cleaning product, help your pets and even treat internal health issues. I suffered from severe adult acne and after three days of applying equal parts ACV and water to my face, morning and night, my acne vanished and has not been back. ACV can also be a great cure from those who suffer headaches. Research has shown that people have slightly more alkaline urine when they have a headache. An apple cider vinegar tonic will help restore your body's acid/alkaline balance. Also, according to one home remedy, inhaling the vapors from a small bottle of apple cider vinegar can help cure a headache.
For centuries people have been using natural apple cider vinegar as both a food and a medicine for themselves and for their pets. Since 400BC, Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, and others, have used vinegar and vinegar mixed with honey, as an energizing tonic and a healing elixir. ( Apple Cider Vinegar Tonic: One 8 ounce glass of water with 2-3 teaspoons of ACV, sweeten to taste with honey. ) It's important to know that many commercial apple cider vinegars have been pasteurized, filtered, distilled or refined. This extra processing destroys much of the healthy properties, limiting its benefits.
To receive apple cider vinegars full benefits it is best to invest in the all natural versions made from cold pressed apples in which no chemicals or preservatives have been added, has not been pasteurized, which contains the "mother of vinegar". The "mother of vinegar" is a natural gelatinous substance formed during the last fermentation step.
Today, I have good supply of both White Vinegar and Apple Cider Vinegar handy and am still learning all/ more and more of the amazing benefits of vinegar. I don't mind the smell, it disappears. To me, the smell of vinegar means healthy and clean. Balanced and anti bacteria.
