Continuing with the list of uses for apple cider vinegar, or ACV:
- Ease Varicose Veins
- ACV is excellent for varicose veins because it improves circulation in the vein walls and is anti-inflammatory, so it reduces bulging veins. Combine ACV with witch hazel and rub on veins in circular motion and you should see improvements in two weeks.
- Natural Deodorant
- Bad bacteria and yeast are a major cause of body odor. The armpit can stay damp which also makes it a breading ground for bad bacteria. Simply dabbing some ACV on your fingers and running it into your armpit can kill yeast and neutralize odors, keeping you smelling fresh all day.
- “Cure” a Cold and Sore Throat
- ACV is the ultimate remedy to cure a cold and sore throat fast! Because it’s loaded with vitamins and probiotic-boosting acetic acid, it’s a great natural cure. Take 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in one glass of water three times daily to accelerate the reduction of cold symptoms.
- May Reduce Warts
- Put ACV topically on the wart and then cover with a bandage. Leave on overnight and remove in the morning. You may see results in one week, but it could take longer.
- Clear Blemishes on skin
- Mix Equal amounts of ACV and water, apply this mixture on your face with a cotton ball, leave it for 3-5 minutes, and wash with water. Do this twice a week until you are happy with the results.
- Remove Dandruff
- Mix ACV and water in a bottle, equal parts. Apply with a cotton ball on affected area. Massage the area for 3 to 5 minutes. Leave the mixture in for about 15 minutes and the rinse with water. NOTE: Do not immediately apply shampoo after this treatment. It should be done after you shampoo your hair. Also, do not perform this treatment if you have open sores on your head.
- Soften and Smooth Feet

- Strengthen Your Bones
