In ancient civilizations, people found natural remedies for common ailments. These remedies mostly came from nature or from natural products produced within ancient societies. In our modern society, such remedies are either forgotten or rejected in favour of pharmaceutical products.

One such natural healing elixir is apple cider vinegar. It has unique healing and preventative properties for a large variety of common ailments.

Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) was discovered 5,000 years B.C. and was well known in the ancient Egypt, Rome and Greece. It was used as a natural antibiotic and antiseptic in 400 B.C.

How to make or buy high quality apple cider vinegar

Organic apple cider vinegar is produced with a long and slow fermentation process using apples or cider as the core ingredient.

You can find instructions online on how to make it yourself. An example is the site apple-cider-vinegar-benefits.com.

The alternative is to buy the vinegar, preferably through a health store. The ACV stored by supermarket chains is most commonly a filtered variety (clear) whereas the preferred vinegar should be a “murky” liquid. The murky texture of organic ACV is caused by the formation of what is called “mother of vinegar”, an amino acid substance. Its sour taste comes from beneficial substances like acetic and malic acids. The major health benefit of ACV is its alkaline properties which is the opposite environment to that in which most diseases thrive.
