Vinegar Remedies Straight From The Kitchen

Vinegar remedies have been used to cure and minimize the effects of many scrapes and bruises, conditions and diseases, since the accidental discovery of vinegar many thousand of years ago. However, as much as it is true that vinegar has been wrongly hailed as a blanket treatment for many diseases and conditions, the truth is that vinegar does have a valid place as one of the more versatile liquids available to us. An acidic liquid, the byproduct of wine making, vinegar really does have some tremendous healing properties, which we'll explore right here in this article.

Apple cider vinegar is the mainstay of many of the kitchen based natural remedies that have been handed down throughout generations. Taken internally apple cider vinegar helps the body access some essential vitamins and nutrients that can be found in some foods. It further helps us to absorb these vitamins and minerals and can often be taken as a drink at meal times: one spoonful added to a glass of water.

Particularly it can be an important addition to the diets of some women; women have traditionally found it difficult to absorb calcium for hormonal reasons, at certain times during their lives. A glass of water mixed with a spoon of apple cider vinegar can make a drink that will help these women to absorb the calcium that they take in. This drink is also useful for anyone who is lactose intolerant and cannot therefore consume dairy products.

Of the vinegar remedies that are to do with external injuries to the body, vinegar is most beneficial. It is effectively used as a means to reduce bruising and swelling and this can be done by soaking a clean cloth in a solution of cold water and vinegar and then using it as a compress against the affected area. Remember that well known nursery rhyme �Jack and Jill?� This made use of this classic use of vinegar. When �Jack fell down and broke his crown...� he had to have his injured head bandaged with vinegar and brown paper!

Vinegar remedies for the unsightly toenail fungus, have also proved their worth. Mainly it involves the soaking of the feet in a bowl of water and some vinegar for about thirty minutes. It works by the vinegar fighting the micro-bacteria that causes the fungus and then it further softens the skin.

Vinegar remedies for everyday occurrences such as bee stings, light sunburn and even dandruff have all been documented over time and it simply involves covering the affected area with white vinegar or apple cider vinegar as required and repeating when necessary.

All in all, one of the great things about vinegar is not only is it so versatile but it is also readily available to us!
