Guest guest Posted October 25, 2001 Report Share Posted October 25, 2001 I've heard of this as well and I do use apple cider vinegar externally fairly consistantly on my face. I would be interested in finding more out on this as well. Grace, a Augustine I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright. I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.

Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2001 1:42 PM Subject: apple cider vinegar? I've read various places that raw apple cider vinegar and honey diluted in a glass of water is health-promoting. NT does not discuss this at all and I'm wondering if anyone has any hard facts on the benefits of the vinegar on a daily basis. It's only a tablespoon per day that is suggested. Comments?

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2001 Report Share Posted October 26, 2001 It's also great on hair! After shampooing, just fill a big glass to the top with water and a good glug-glug's worth of vinegar, and pour it over your hair. (If you have long hair, dip the ends in the cup first.) It rinses all the shampoo out, softens and detangles, and not only prevents but actually heals split ends! I have waist-length straight hair, which I get cut only once or twice a year. The stylists can't believe I cut it so infrequently, because I have NO split ends; before I used vinegar rinses the shafts would be split halfway up the length! Oh, use it only once or twice a week. If you use it every time you shampoo, your hair will get so soft it will become unmanageable. Carma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 26, 2001 Report Share Posted October 26, 2001 I found a recipee in a book on making your own personal care items. The apple cider vinegar can be used just plain or, as I have done, soaked nettle leaves (or other herbs can be used) in the vinegar for a couple of weeks. just like making an herbal tincture. This is used as a toner and it softens the skin. It stinks when you put it on, but des not take long at all to go away. I also use honey every so often on my face. I had tried making my own hair products, but I did not have much success with these working very well. I basically do not purchase much for beauty care products other than shampoo maybe some chapstick and a lotion (which I rarely use, I just have on hand). It is cheap this way!

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2001 Report Share Posted October 26, 2001 Carma, Would you suggest this in place of conditioner? or would you use conditioner on the days you do not use this? I also have long hair and cannot manage it unless I use conditioner every day because of the tangles. I have finally switched to using Aubrey organic conditioner and shampoo which has made a huge difference but it is so very expensive it would be nice to know a cheaper alternative. Thanks for the suggestion I think I might just give it a try! It's also great on hair!

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2001 Report Share Posted October 26, 2001 >> Carma, Would you suggest this in place of conditioner? or would you use conditioner on the days you do not use this? I also have long hair and cannot manage it unless I use conditioner every day because of the tangles. I began using it instead of conditioner - and haven't used conditioner in about 6 years! My hair looks better than it *ever* has. ACV works much better than conditioner at detangling, IMHO. Of course I can only use conditioner on the ends of my hair, since putting it on the roots makes it too heavy and flat, as my hair is board straight with no body; curly hair might be different. I just use the ACV twice a week and nothing but shampoo the rest of the time. My hair remains easy to comb out thru several shampoos, and if I notice it is getting difficult to comb, I realize I've gone too many shampoos without ACV. Oh, and the " salad smell " goes away as soon as your hair dries, though it does linger on the towel. ;-) Carma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 26, 2001 Report Share Posted October 26, 2001 I also have used ACV as a rinse regularily and always liked the results. Lately I've been using a batch of lacto-fermented ginger soda that didn't work out too well for drinking and I find that I like it even better than ACV on my hair.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 > > What about apple cider vinegar? Is it as bad as any other vinegar. > I have read a lot of good thing about it on > http://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/candida.html ==>Most candida sufferers react to vinegar (see my article on Yeasty, Moldy & Fungi-Type Foods, but they may be okay having unpasteurized unfiltered vinegar like Braggs. That's why I recommend substituting vinegar with lemon juice. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
