A mixture of Cider vinegar and Honey

The simple act of mixing Cider vinegar and honey has been a mainstay of home remedies and simple healing for generations.

Cider vinegar can be mixed with natural apple juice to make the taste more palatable or to allow it to be taken as a drink rather than from a spoon. Using a mixture of cider vinegar and honey on a spoon obtains the same effect - and you also get the health benefits inherent in the honey.

Some people nowadays use apple cider vinegar and manuka honey for a particularly potent health giving combination.

Dissolve one tablespoon of cider vinegar and one tablespoon of manuka honey (or another honey of your choice) in a little warm water and away you go ! Good health here we come!

Can Apple Cider Vinegar Help Acne?

Acne is often a reflection of a lack of acid balance in the skin. A change in the natural pH of the skin can allow bacteria to flourish and this often shows itself in the form of pimples, spots or boils. Apple Cider Vinegar has been used as a natural acne treatment for generations.

Vinegar can be extremely helpful for mild to moderate cases of acne. The vinegar's antiseptic properties helps to counteract the acne related bacteria. The acidic properties of cider vinegar will also help balance your skin's pH, and absorb extra oil on your skin.

How to use Cider Vinegar for Acne Treatment

• Start with clean and dry skin
• apply diluted vinegar (eight parts water to one part vinegar) directly to your skin with a cotton ball and leave it on for several hours at least but rinse off if you feel it irritant
• if your skin tolerates it then you can also use a stronger vinegar solution (say, 2 or 3 parts water to 1 part vinegar), and apply it directly to problem areas - but make sure you rinse it off after ten minutes.
• Some people use lemon or lime juice instead of cider vinegar. Both of these juices are rich in citric acid, and can exfoliate your skin very well, halting the growth of acne spots, as well as fading previous, non-active acne quicker.

The so called Cider Vinegar Diet has provoked controversy and acceptance in almost equal measure over the years.

Apple cider vinegar has a combination of acidic vinegar and fruit pectin and this combination is said to be the reason behind the cider vinegar diet and its "fat burning effects".

Using the Apple Cider Vinegar Diet
To gain benefit from the cider vinegar diet you are supposed to take one, two, or three teaspoons of apple cider vinegar before each meal. Many people find it difficult to get three teaspoons down initially but most get used to it after a few days. Taking more than three spoonfuls is likely to provoke stomach discomfort and is not likely to give you any more benefit.

Does the Apple Cider Vinegar Diet Work?
This is where the controversy comes in!
Like many other diets, it's not clear as to whether there are any properties in the vinegar that will actually help you lose weight. Is it the fact that you eat smaller portions than before or is it directly related weight loss due to the cider vinegar?
The dieticians and traditionalists take the former view - the alternative therapists and cider vinegar adherents see it the other way round?

My advice to you would be to try it for yourself and see if it works.

Using Cider Vinegar to Treat Headache

Cider vinegar can be used to treat headache in two ways. It can be taken by mouth diluted in water or it can be taken by inhaling the cider vinegar as steam.

Headaches arise for many reasons and the cause of headache includes stress, allergies, tiredness, and a number of other possible medical reasons.

Although apple cider vinegar cannot be touted as a headache treatment as such - it has been found that some people have slightly more alkaline urine when suffering from a headache and the cider vinegar helps this by bringing the body pH more into balance.

Steam Inhalation - Cider Vinegar
The inhalation of apple cider vinegar can also help clear a headache.
Add four table spoonfuls of apple cider vinegar to boiling water in a big pan, removing it from the stove and carefully inhaling the vapor with a towel over your head to keep the steam from dissipating.

Cider Vinegar Helps You Sleep Well

I first became interested in the benefits of cider vinegar when I was undergoing my breast cancer treatment.

I found that the effects of the chemotherapy - and particularly the high doses of steroids - meant that I simply could not sleep properly. I tossed and turned all night, much to my distress and to the dismay of my husband.

One of the chemotherapy nurses suggested that I try a mixture of cider vinegar and honey disolved in some hot water. I was sceptical at first but to be honest the results were amazing.

I added two teaspoons of clear honey to two teaspoons of cider vinegar and dissolved it all in some warm water. You can adjust the amount of honey and vinegar a bit to suit your needs.

Drinking this just before bed worked wonders and I've rarely had problems sleeping ever since.

If you have problems with insomnia then try cider vinegar - it may help you too.
