Raw Apple Cider Vinegar Cures---not really

…add a little vinegar and you’ll calm that nagging cough

I wouldn’t say apple cider vinegar cures anything, but…it might help a lot.

Vinegar and honey has long been heralded as an all-around home remedy.  Here are some:

• Calm the Hic Hups
• Increase circulation
• Sooth a sore throat
• Ease arthritis joint pain
• Calms discomfort of gout
• Relieve growing pains (leg cramps in children)
• Relieve symptoms of the common cold

• 2 Tbsp of raw honey to 1 tsp of organic apple cider vinegar.

Or

• 1 Tbsp of organic apple cider vinegar with 1 Tbsp of raw honey

Or

• 2 Tbsp or raw honey with 2 Tbsp of organic apple cider vinegar

"Buying ‘raw’ and ‘organic’ does make a difference.

I like mine mixed in hot water. The hot water dissolves the honey and combines the flavors into a wonderfully refreshing drink. (Let it cool down just a little so it wont burn your insides.) Take it cold to help detox and ease joint discomfort caused by arthritis.

Way back in 400bc Hippocrates, known as the 'father of medicine', used vinegar and honey to cleanse and energize the body.

I know you have probably heard all this before. ...This is just a little reminder that vinegar and honey is still as good for you today as it was in the past. With of all the quick and simple drugs that are said to do the same thing we might forget what we already know.

The thing is, ...most drugs only mask the problem that is causing our discomfort. Drugs don’t heal the body, only the body itself can do that. And it will heal faster without the addition of additional toxins… which (toxins) are usually the reason for our illness in the first place! But, don’t be deceived with all this talk of ‘raw’ and ‘natural’. Often our bodies do need help to correct our health issues and modern medicine has preformed miracles when compared to the past.

But, can we not benefit from wisdom from the past AND modern medicine?

The trick of using vinegar and honey is to drink is several times a day. It isn’t concentrated like a pill. It takes a lot to make a difference. Honey and vinegar is much like food. You can’t get your daily requirements by just eating once in the morning.

BUT, as with food, don’t take too much. Like food, too much will make you fat and add to your problems, honey and vinegar can be ingested in an overdose---nothing lethal mind you, but, none the less, not good for the system. ---two or three times a day seems to be the best when suffering with discomforts, while once or twice a week is sufficient for time of health.

Organic apple cider vinegar and raw honey has long been knows as a gentle detoxifer.

Often times inflammation is connected to a toxic condition. Arthritis inflammation is often associated with toxins.

The "The Arthritis Bible," reports that there is no scientific explanation for why vinegar and honey works, but some people have reported looser joints and less pain when they started taking honey and vinegar.

The recommendation is:

• 8 oz. warm water
• 2 tbsp. raw honey
• 2 tbsp organic apple cider vinegar

To begin with, drink this mixture every day. Increase to two or three time a day if you feel you need it, then decrease to once a day or once every other day, when you feel better.

Raw honey and organic apple cider vinegar can be mixed with something other than water. Try it yourself.
