Vinegar has been used as a natural home remedy, as well as a culinary ingredient for over 10,000 years.

This sour wine can be made from several fruits and substances including beer. Today, it is produced as it has been in the past, by fermenting natural sugars in the fruit or substance into an alcohol and then further fermented into vinegar.

Apples are used to make a cider vinegar for peoples health benefit. Apple Cider vinegar, as well as a culinary ingredient, is also used as a highly effective natural home remedy for several ailments,  as well as an aid to natural health.

The benefit of apple cider vinegar is that is one of the oldest and most useful types of vinegar. It is manufactured from apples and fermented in a 2 stage process. It contains vitamins C, E, A, B1, B2, B6, proto-vitamin, and beta-carotene.

It also has minerals and trace elements such as potassium, calcium, sodium, copper, iron and magnesium. Although the acidic taste may not suit everyone, the benefit of apple cider vinegar is known to help allergy relief to pollen, food and pets as well as helping to reduce arthritic pain.

It is also used to treat sinus infections, acne, high cholesterol, and sore throats. Mixing two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with eight ounces of water and a touch of honey to taste, one should drink the vinegar mixture three times daily.

Apple cider vinegar similarly treats sore throats, congestion, arthritis and rheumatism. To relieve congestion,  mix equal parts of cider vinegar and honey. For joint pain, mix the cider vinegar with two teaspoons of honey. When it is mixed with water, the cider vinegar can treat chronic fatigue and low-grade fevers.

If swallowing vinegar, you should use caution. The vinegar should be diluted with water to protect the enamel of the teeth from erosion. Rinsing the mouth immediately adds more protection, but do not brush immediately. Using a straw may prevent the vinegar from coating the teeth.

Please be aware that the vinegar may cause indigestion (heartburn) because it is acidic; however, that acidity provides vinegar with an indefinite shelf life.

Refrigeration is not necessary, but over time, the vinegar may develop sediment or haziness, but fortunately, this does not affect its effectiveness.
