Sore Throat
Soothe a sore throat by gargling with a mixture of 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar in 1⁄3 cup (80 ml) of warm water . Gargle every hour in the morning, and then every two hours in the afternoon .
Headache
Combine one part vinegar and one part steaming hot water . Inhale steam 80 times to help ease headache pain . Apply a thick compress soaked in a vinegar solution (1⁄3 vinegar with 2⁄3 water) to the forehead or to the nape of the neck . Remove once cooled .
Nausea
Drink 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar in 1⁄4 cup of sparkling water as soon as symptoms appear . If nausea is due to pregnancy, drink the mixture first thing in the morning . If symptoms occur after meals, drink 1 teaspoon cider vinegar combined with 1⁄4 cup of lemon balm infusion .
Ear Care
Vinegar’s high acidity makes it an excellent antibacterial agent . A recent study shows that a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water is effective in preventing external infections in the ear canal when applied with cotton swabs . It is also effective in preventing external otitis, or swimmer’s ear, which often affects frequent swimmers and divers . Simply mix one part white vinegar with one part boiled water and rinse ears with the solution after swimming . Caution: doing this too often could irritate the ear canal .
