25 Natural Health Secrets About the Use of Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is an ancient remedy that has been used to treat many human health afflictions over the centuries before modern pharmaceuticals were rampantly available. Modern research studies around the world are substantiating the value of its ability related to good health. I guess my Nanna, knew what she was doing, when we were kids and she would clean our scraps with diluted vinegar. It would sting like crazy but our abrasions never got infected! [Quite a few hospitals are using vinegar solutions as disinfectants these days: Yale-New Haven, Cornell Med Center.]
