CURES & TIPS WITH ACV
Apple Cider Vinegar, or ACV, has been used as a healing 5. Soothe sore throats:
elixir since 400 B.C. for a multitude of things, as it’s one
of the most potent tonics around.
It’s important to get the best quality ACV you
can find – one that is raw, organic, unfiltered, and
contains the “Mother” – a natural cellulose produced
by the vinegar bacteria that sometimes make the
vinegar brown and goopy, but highly effective.
Here are some of the many things you can
use ACV for – and save a bundle!
8. Wart or mole remover:
It may take about a month, but the healing
properties in ACV will effectively remove
any wart, and most moles. Simply dab on
using a q-tip and cover with a small bandaid overnight. It may sting a little, but ACV
will go straight to work, gently removing one
layer of skin at a time.
2. Odour neutralizer:
Stubborn odour? Place 1/2 a cup of ACV in
a dish and leave nearby the offensive odour to
get rid of the smell quickly. It even works on
smelly feet and bad breath!
3. Weight loss:
A 2010 study has shown that the acetic acid in ACV,
successfully slows fat accumulation, and helps one to
feel fuller when 1 tablespoon is taken right before a meal.
4. Detoxifier:
The acetic acid in ACV can bind to toxins in your body to
assist in removing them. Because of this, it can help promote
circulation and detoxify the liver. ACV’s potassium content
also helps to break up mucus and clear lymph nodes and
sinuses.

6. Soothe tummy trouble:
Ate something that’s not agreeing with you or causing
heartburn? The antibiotic properties and bacteria
fighting power of ACV can calm intestinal
spasms. Simply sip diluted ACV throughout
the day.
7. Energy booster:
The potassium and enzymes in ACV help
to provide a quick pick-me-up – and much
healthier than those sugar-filled energy drinks!
1. Diabetes prevention:
Although diet, exercise and genes play an
important role, multiple studies have shown a
correlation between ACV and lower blood sugar
levels in Types 1 and 2 Diabetes patients. The
anti-glycemic effect of the acid in ACV helps
with insulin sensitivity and is said to lower
blood sugar levels by 4-6% when 2 tablespoons
are taken before bedtime.

smell like a salad after! Good for the en
