Hi there, I see that you're in Canada - not sure what part of the country you live, but I found my Bragg's ACV at a health food store called "Noah's" in Toronto. I'm sure other health food stores will carry it - look for it in the cooking section, it won't be amongst the beauty products. Just make sure it's the unfiltered stuff, I believe there are other brands that are available besides Bragg's.

I've noticed that the skin around my nose has gotten dry and flakey from using this nightly, so I'm going to scale back on the frequency and use this no more than 3X a week. But my pores are lookin' mighty fine! No clogged pores, yay!

i use apple cider with aztec bentonite clay and use it as mask. tis REALLY effective in removing blackheads, as if the blackheads are pulled out of the pores...

[reytsh]

lina,

dont know where you can get it in the states

i mix the clay with equal parts ACV. when i rinse it my skin feels tight and dry but it doesnt flake. i follow it up with a toner and moisturizer.



my pores are less visible too.

I've used this safely on my colored hair! I take 12oz of warm water, 12oz of beer and 4oz of ACV. Combine this in a bowl and start taking cupfuls of it and pour it over your hair. Do this for a minute or two, then with the mixture in your hair, take a bodifying shampoo, lather and apply to hair. Rinse and do a deep conditioning pack. This leaves hair very easy to style and with brilliant shine and body. I do this about 2x per month.

[cherylscott2000]

Hi Laura! I know I am butting in but,Yes, I hate to say it but it DOES taste horrible! AND it STINKS! But I do use it with oil to make a nice vinegrette dressing! haha! But with all of the great things it does for your entire system inside and out I can overlook that! Like Kim says it definitely is an aquired taste so I would find ways to make it paletable. Maybe add more water at first and then increase or like she said add some Honey, that does help, kind of like Chinese sweet and sour! I wonder if eating it with some oilve oil and garlic on a vegie or a nice crusty baquette slice? Would that give you the same benefits? H-mm we'll have to see! Kim??? Any input?? I wonder if the white vinegar has any benefits? Good luck finding it! And hopefully we will both develop a taste! Chermarie

If you can get over the taste of apple cider vinegar, you will find it one of the most important remedies in healing the body. Apple Cider Vinegar has a number of reported uses: complete relief of pollen, food and pet allergies. It also cures sinus infections. Additional cures: acne, high cholesterol, chronic fatigue, candida, acid reflux (!), sore throats, contact dermatitis, arthritis, gout and is a general energy tonic. Apple Cider Vinegar also breaks down fat and is widely used to lose weight. It has also been reported that a daily dose of apple cider vinegar in water has soaring blood pressure under control in two weeks!

As a wonderful side effect of drinking apple cider vinegar every day, we discovered that it brings a healthy, rosy glow to one's complexion! This is great news if you suffer from a pale countenance.

pH BALANCE:

It's suggested that Apple Cider Vinegar has such curative abilities because it causes one's pH levels to become more alkaline or, in the case of too much alkalinity, more acidic. Urinalysis studies done in the 1950s by D.C. Jarvis (author of Folk Medicine) showed that pH levels in the body become highly alkaline before and during an allergy attack (yes, contrary to what you would normally read on the subject). If you are going to try apple cider vinegar for allergies, or even to prevent sickness, we suggest you do some investigation of your own by buying a pH test kit at a local pharmacy, garden nursery, or even pool supply store. You can use these kits or pH strips to test your urine to see if you are more alkaline or acid during an allergy attack, virus or bacterial infection. Once you ascertain your pH levels, you can adjust adjust your dosage of Apple Cider Vinegar accordingly.

If you live in a highly polluted area like we do (Los Angeles) where allergies and sinus infections are rampant, your system may better balance itself with a small dose of apple cider vinegar each day. Ultimately, we suggest you experiment with a kit to find the pH balance your body functions optimally at. Want to know more about pH? Click here.

Ted, from Bangkok, Thailand tells us, "Apple Cider Vinegar in itself is alkaline because of its "ash" content, which means if the apple cider vinegar was burned, what is left over becomes ash. When you check for the pH of that ash and dissolve it with water, the content is alkaline. Whenever our body digests anything it undergoes oxidation, which is similar to burning and the end result is that you can determine whether the end product was alkaline or acid. Apple Cider Vinegar has anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and anti-viral properties, primarily coming from the malic acid and acetic acid portion of the vinegar. Apple cider vinegar acts as a buffer in the body because the acetic acid reacts with base or acid compounds to form an acetate, therefore rendering them chemically bioavailable for the body's utilization. Additionally Apple Cider Vinegar can reduce the toxicity of certain compounds by converting the toxin into an acetate compound which is less toxic. This is why they are ideal for insect bites and certain skin allergies. While Apple Cider vinegar in itself is considered alkaline, a chemically pure vinegar (acetic acid) is neither acid nor basic forming as it leaves no ash as the entire portion, when burned evaporates completely."

From what we have read repeatedly on the internet, scientists have measured ninety different substances in apple cider vinegar such as thirteen types of carbolic acids, four aldehydes, twenty ketones, eighteen types of alcohols, eight ethyl acetates etc. It also contains important minerals, trace elements and vitamins as well acetic acid, propionic acid, lactic acid, enzymes, amino acids as well as roughage in the form of potash and apple pectin.

Apple Cider Vinegar contains minerals and trace elements such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, chlorine, sodium, sulfur, copper, iron, silicon, fluorine. An alternative to drinking apple cider vinegar may be to take potassium supplements, as potassium is known to absorb excess fluids (ie, mucous) in the body. Drink lots of water if you take potassium supplements so you don't get dehydrated! Potassium, by the way, lowers high blood pressure.

Apple Cider Vinegar's vitamin content includes Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin A, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B6, Provitamin beta-carotene, Vitamin P (bioflavonoids).

And ...here are some more .....

Great JOB!!! Kim, this vinegar info that you have on here is insane!! It is SO great! What I was wondering was WHERE did you find all this info for EVERYTHING from sore throats to chronic fatigue, headaches, sinusitis, balancing the body...OMG! I couldn't believe some of the things you could use it for! I would love to find a book that had all this information in it. Did you get it out of a book or do you know of a book that would have this in it. I know you listed one on here with folk medicine using ACV but I was wondering if that was the one you got all this from or did you have another source? I am going to print out what you have here to use as a guide as well. I still can't handle the taste of sraight vinegar , but I do eat it on salads and vegies (but it is usually vinegrette or a raspberry balsalmic!) and I left a post to see if you would still get some benefits if you mix it with some fresh garlic and olive oil and soak it up with a piece of a baguette. I LOVE that! Maybe some basil and a little piece of tomato, yummy! Ok, I have to stop, I am making myself hungry! But anyway I wonder do you have to drink it everytime? Probably, huh? I bet it absorbs into your body better with the water. Anyway, thank you so much for the post! If you have any info on any books or anything, please let me know! TIA! You are such a smarty-pants, you are! You amaze me! You are like one of those Trivial Pursuit games, you know all these facts about stuff that are really interesting and really great information AND are GOOD for you to know, but not that many people know about! Thank you for bringing us such great information and knowledge! I can't wait to try some out! talk to you soon, :icon_love Chermarie
