ACV-Apple Cider Vinegar



" Eeeew that stinks!", is usually a phrase that is used when a wise person is utilizing this nectar of the gods around someone who isn't  aware of it's lovely blessings it gives the body. Elders please forgive us, because some like myself didn't quite gather the fullness of what vinegar does for our bodies and even our homes. It's okay because, let me tell you that I had no idea the multitude of benefits you get from using apple cider vinegar in your daily routine. 
As a little girl, my Mother would give me and my sister a tablespoon of this with just a dab of honey mixed in it. I used to wonder, "How do they make this stuff?". It was always when the winter was around and there were colds running rampant at school. Here we are now, 20 years later and I am giving my children the same treatment to prevent colds from coming around. However, it wasn't until about 3 years ago, while searching for natural rinses for your hair, I came across the good things that come from using vinegar  on a regular basis. As you read the list the benefits that I have personally tried and verified, allow me to share some questions that I used to have and the answers that I have found. Some are just as easily found on your own spare type, with some due diligence and yep, you guessed it, enough free time. 

How is Apple Cider Vinegar Made?
Truth is, there are a few different ways out there. This one, I came across yesterday while looking up how to make some st home. So, I hope to do this an will post my results with pics. However,the one that I am going to mention on that a lovely woman on a you tube channel called: Set Apart Living
She has a simple recipe that anyone can make. Allow me to say as she had even stated, a lot of people buy Bragg's vinegar and I am one f those people. Until I successfully make a batch using this wise womb-carriers recipe.

1.You can use ACV as a mouthwash after brushing your teeth in the morning. Yes, it cleans the mouth. You can try it by either mixing 1TBS with a splash of water in a morning rinse cup and give your mouth a real good swish, repeat once and  feel how clean your mouth is.

Baking Soda (Either pour some in an air tight container or if you don't have one, open the box enough to be able dip the toothbrush inside
and pull it out)
Hydrogen Peroxide or water if you do not have any HP on hand
A Toothbrush

Why this natural at home recipe works: The baking soda is polishing while the peroxide cleans and destroys germs

How to use:

2. Dip your toothbrush into the baking soda
3. Brush those teeth for at least 3 minutes
4. Rinse mouth well (Use the ACV mix)
5. Pat yourself on the back because you just took 3 minutes out of your day to give your smile a natural, cleansing boost
6. Encourage others to go with more of a natural approach when taking care of their bodies


2. ACV Hair Rinse

The main thing I like abp The results have been very pleasing. You really can see the gunk that you thought was gone already. We ACV rinse our hair twice a month to keep the Locs happy. Natural hair, Locs, etc, if you have hair on our head and want it legitimately cleaned, give it a try.
