Ive heard commercials for weight loss too. I haven't tried it, sounds really interesting.. but all those exfoliators are acidic, and so is vitamin C, and skin is naturally acidic. Alkalinity, I would think, would hurt skin a lot more. Something super acidic would hurt it, but vinegar wouldn't be that super strong. I do wonder about your teeth and drinking it though.. I know acids are bad for enamel..

Ah okay. ;p Yeah I know sodas are so acidic and baaaad for the teeth. I love them anyway, lol.

I sure am pleased I stumbled on this forum. Just reading this one message...Like others on this thread, I once used acv and now I'm wondering why I ever stopped. I will get back on it, thanks to this reminder.

Wow........after reading your post on ACV, I just went to the kitchen, got a bottle of spring water and put in 3 tablespoons of ACV, and just took a sip, and that was just so interesting. I have to make myself get used to it, since it is good for my health and body. So, I have to now finish the bottle.....here goes another sip .........I did it though.

Hi! I signed on here awhile back but just now returned to really read the forums...this info is great! I had been concentrating on the unsweetend cranberry juice and water combo + Tonalin CLA supplements but I think I will try the ACV for a break (getting really tired of the cranberry water!) Thanks so much for the hard work compiling!!
I wanted to suggest to those worried about their tooth enamel...maybe use a straw and try to swallow at the back of the mouth? I know you get more air that way; but the benefits seem to outweigh the down side.
The asprin toner has worked well for me; but I may give my skin a break too and see if this works even better.

I was reading this forum last night and found it very interesting. I bought some ACV today and was wondering what ratio of H2O and ACV to use for hair, face and drink. Any suggestions?

Hi, longtime lurker here. I just wanted to share something I read a while ago. There is apple cider vinegar which is made from fermented apple juice and then there is apple cider flavored distilled vinegar which is a mixture of apple cider flavoring and distilled vinegar. I have no idea what the difference is. I actually read this info in a Cook's Illustrated magazine. Of course the subject there was cooking so I would not know what a difference there is in drinking it or as a toner. I think they both have the 5% acidity but if it's the apple in the vinegar that you're looking for you might want to make sure you have the apple cider vinegar and not the flavored one. Sorry that's all the info I have. Hope it helps someone

Hey....its a nice informative article. Should try it.

I think I've been using ACV too concentrated! I use it like a toner. The other day I had a couple of pimples on my chin so poured some on a cotton round and applied it to the area for 2 minutes then the pimples started to bleed & later that day it turned into scabs! They finally came off yesterday and it left the areas pink. So I guess I'm supposed delute it for now on.

i purchased ACV at cold storage juz now.The brand is Mountain Maid frm Australia.izzit ok? It's written on the label that the ACV is free frm artificial colourings n preservatives and it's 100 % natural. There's also another brand called Braggs or sumthing..it's an organic ACV..i got confused so i decided to get the one without artificial stuffs..

[bronze_chiqz]

ohhhhh!!!i tried it for the 1st time on my face..wat an unpleasantt smell...!!!but anyway for beauty sake, i'll have to stand it....took half teaspoon of acv n half tsp of water..dipped in cotton pad n rub only one part of my face (forehead) to see if i'm gonna have any breakouts next morning...hopefully it'll work for me...have this huge one cyst on cheekbone..very rare to get cystic but lets c how acv 's gonna kill it..

I always use apple cider vinegar for indigestion. Sometimes I get indigestion so bad that it hurts from my shoulders to my hips. I drink the vinegar straight, about an ounce. It works like Drano. Within minutes it is breaking up the indigestion and I feel better than new. My husband uses apple cider vinegar for warts. The doctor treatments only worked until the warts came back. The apple cider vinegar makes them go away for good. I also got rid of a growth (wart?) on my finger using vinegar. And we make our own salad dressing with fresh herbs and apple cider vinegar. We use raw, organic apple cider vinegar. It has become a definite staple in our home!

Fantastic post, thanks!!!

[pp888]

wow will try

[swhitneyt]

How do you treat warts with the vinegar? daily application to the site?

[Salope]

I bought some Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar, mixed it with water, about 60/40 and used it as toner for my face. Well you know what happened? My face became bright red and stayed like that for over an hour. Why???? Nothing has ever done that to my face before. Perhaps it's too strong for my skin but I would characterize my skin as sensitive.

What is going on here?

[barbiegal]

Wow! FANTASTIC thread! I just got on the herbal/altnerative medicine bandwagon about a year and a half ago, and I'm always reading up on different things. I don't know how I missed ACV. M
