When I was growing up, apple cider vinegar was in a bottle in the cupboard in the kitchen. It was used from everything like baking to bathing cuts on piglets, or putting on chicks that were getting picked on by other chicks. I actually did not know how it was created, so I looked it up.
From altmedicine.about.com -- Apple cider vinegar is a type of vinegar made by the fermentation of apple cider. During this process, sugar in the apple cider is broken down by bacteria and yeast into alcohol and then into vinegar. Apple cider vinegar contains acetic acid (like other types of vinegar) and some lactic, citric and malic acids.
Why am I so interested in apple cider vinegar? I was in the grocery store the other day and was buying apple cider vinegar to add to my bath water to draw out toxins. One of the Shaman Teachers that I had years ago told us that to clear toxins out of our body to use a Sweat (Lodge) or a wood sauna. Failing that, he said, have a very hot bath with a cup of apple cider vinegar in it. It seems to work!
While I was getting my apple cider vinegar, two ladies were discussing how apple cider vinegar took the planter warts off feet. One lady explained to the other how she had plantar warts for years, and paid lots for medication prescribed by her doctor. Finally, she read an article about dipping cotton balls into apple cider vinegar and taping them – she used duct tape – to her feet all night. She said that it took about four nights of this, when she noticed that the warts were drying up. Now, she walks pain free and once a week she puts apple cider vinegar on socks and wears them to bed to ensure that the warts do not return.
Apples are said to be the perfect medicine. Johnny Appleseed knew what he was doing when he spread them across America.
