Word is getting around the Dojo about the great benefits of apple cider vinegar. BTW, just to be clear, I am NOT talking about the clear apple cider vinegar that most people buy, usually made by Heinz. That stuff is great for cleaning but it is not a medicinal or healthy. I am talking about the raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar like Bragg's, Spectrum, or the store brand that Trader Joe's sells.
One of the owners of the school got asthma which developed into bronchitis and then finally into pneumonia. He is on 4 different medicines and none of them were working. He came to me and asked why the apple cider vinegar had helped another Sensei. I explained it so he decided to start taking some. I actually was a little doubtful that it would help the pneumonia. After two days, I got a report that the only thing that has been helping him is in fact the apple cider vinegar, which he is taking several times per day.
So, how do you take apple cider vinegar? Generally, the dose is 1 T 3x's per day. You can take it with some honey and warm water or you can take it with equal parts unsulphured molasses. I like the later way best.
Other uses for apple cider vinegar include relieving heartburn, swabbed on sunburns or other burns, assist in digestion, etc. Here is another article on Apple Cider Vinegar.
