Apple Cider Vinegar

[Slynito]

At times I will take a gallon of spring water mix with ACV,LEMON,HONEY,GINGER,Lemon Grass And keep it in the fridge. No one ever will give it a try here so I know I will always have a cold drink in the fridge. On that note does anyone drink Kombucha ? I just bought the few items to get me started in making my own I will start a thread on that when I get it going.

I think you have a good idea...what are the proportions that you use? And I await the Kombucha thread.

All right then!
I checked out the Braggs site and found it was being sold just down the road from me.
Sooo....I am now in possession of a bottle and going to give it a shot.
It certainly has a following on the internet health food community (not counting the following
on the internet Sly community  )
The website states it should be drunk 3 times a day at 1 Tsp per drink. Could I just take a drink in the a.m.with 3 Tsps, or an actual 1/2 shot, and still receive the same benefits?

I would not recommend it for your first few days that's a lot of acetic acid to hit your system first thing in the AM for a newbie. My normal morning mix is 2 tb spoons mixed with 1 tb spoon of Organic pure Agave Nectar in a 16oz glass of spring water and plenty of ice and some times a second serving later in the day.  Been doing this for two years now.

And I'm 1 TBSP vinegar plus 1 tsp honey in 12 oz water every morning.  Clearly - to each his own.

I have a neighbor that is a hardcore ACV user...she and her husband take shots of straight ACV...X3 a day.

Straight-up vinegar is pretty rough on throat tissue. I'd say that it's not advisable to not dilute it.

[Slynito]

I totally agree, not to mention the taste.

Before I went sly, I was told to use diluted vinegar (50/50 water) on my head to treat seborrheic dermatitis. Since SD is basically a yeast, the sprayed on mixture would sting on contact, but was very effective in reducing the painful itching brought on by SD.

However, since I'm now SD free (as a result of going sly), no need to apply vinegar to the Schrodome.

At first glance I thought you just said you use it on your scrotum. 
Anyhow, I'll pick up a jar sometime.

"At first glance I thought you just said you use it on your scrotum."
You and I both, but at least I had been drinking!!
Although, after reading all of the benefits, WHO KNOWS!!!
LOLOLOLOL!!!

I think I'll hold off on vinegaring my undercarriage for now thanks!

This thread is making me laugh haha!!

But, to follow up with my original info on this....

the ACV really cleared up my irritated red bumps/pimples on my head. like REALLY cleared it up....

I recommend it..but do NOT let it get on your face....it dripped down my face and literally left a red irritated line straight down my face! hahaha.

Long story short, the stuff is great, but very powerful.

[Bald Weasel]

@Sly5...LIL DAB 'L DO YA!! LoL!!
@Plano...Was the clearing of the bumps quick? Like over night-ish or more of a healing like over the course of a few days/week? That is weird about how it helped your scalp, but burned/irritated the skin on your face.
Hmmm....??....wonder why??....TO GOOGLE I GO
!!

So am I supposed to just let it dry or can I wash after to get rid of the vinegar smell?

When did apply diluted ACV to my scalp, I'd let it dry, then wash my head with soap & water. Seemed to do the trick.

You let it stay on your head for about 15 minutes...after that, just wash your head like usual. It's done wonders for my problem.

Hope it helps you!
