Apple Cider Vinegar is one of those wonderful products with a myriad of uses. When I was first diagnosed with ovarian cysts, I researched ways I could shrink them naturally. Having a daily glass of diluted ACV was one of my options and it helped tremendously. I drink the same elixir when I’m fighting a sinus infection. It really does clear any mucus or congestion!
In order to reap the benefits of ACV, you need to use raw, organic ACV. This contains the “mother” of the vinegar, which has raw enzymes and gut-friendly bacteria that promote healing. I use and suggest Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar.
TAKING APPLE CIDER VINEGAR
Personally, I mix 2 teaspoons of ACV with a glass of water and I’m good to go. However, there are a lot of people sensitive to the taste. I’ve heard of adding agave or honey to the mixture for sweetness.
