In response to a guest request for uses for Apple Cider Vinegar:
There are thousands of ways to use Apple Cider Vinegar – both for health and cleaning purposes. We have zeroed in on only a few because we need to test everything before we put it out on the blog. Needless to say, we use Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
If you search Bettina Network’s Blog under the category ‘Apple Cider Vinegar’ you will find uses we have previously published in this blog. You can also find other uses for Apple Cider Vinegar if you search the internet. There are several really good books – some out of print, but discoverable in estate sales – written decades ago, which are fantastic.
The huge use, – the one we find that has infinite health benefits is the use of Organic Apple Cider Vinegar as a deodorant/anti perspirant. (No, you can’t substitute White Vinegar – not even Organic White Vinegar).
I believe we have a blog on this and we have had ongoing trials with different people using it. Now that the weather has turned really warm, we have found that using a little Apple Cider Vinegar splashed under your arms after a shower will keep you feeling cool and odor free. We have also found that when your energy starts to flatten, another splash of apple cider vinegar under the arms and a little rubbed on the face will bring your energy up in dramatic ways.
It is amazing how something so cheap and so totally effective would not be used by millions. Are we so detached from the ways of our grandparents that instead of following their lead, which they acquired from following their parents and grandparents, we are the generation which follows those whose job it has been to market the latest to us. The latest things to pad the pockets of the few at the expense of the health, well-being and financial resources of the many?
We all are using one of the many Deodorants and Anti-Perspirants on the market. That says a lot for the success of the marketing campaigns which have been aimed at making us think if we didn’t use the products they are currently marketing we would smell bad, be considered amoral and the ‘good’ people of the world would not want us around.
In fact, if we use the products being promoted for our use with beautiful women, flowery scenes, romantic music, comedy and/or cutesiness there are serious possible health problems involved. We worked hardest in trying to discover some way to live in public around other people and not smell nor cause ourselves health problems into the future. When we heard the way anti-perspirants work is to clog your pores with aluminum, we threw out the anti-perspirants and deodorants – no matter how good the marketing and advertising. Apparently, you don’t smell because the perspiration and bacteria which eats the perspiration causing the odor can’t get started because you can’t perspire. We always thought that perspiration was a natural bodily function with a reason to preserve your health and well being.
That freaked us out. Especially since we have heard the stories about Aluminum being one of the contributors to starting Alzheimer’s, plus a long line of other health problem possibilities.
We have had feed back from a few people in the Bettina Network about using Apple Cider Vinegar first thing in the morning – a little in a glass of water and drink it down – but we haved no way to know if and how this is effective, so we will stick with the use of Apple Cider Vinegar as a very effective deodorant.
We also find it good to use cleaning house. We use it with Olive Oil. The Olive Oil poured on OOOO steel wool will clean and wax the furniture and Apple Cider Vinegar does an excellent job at washing walls and etc.
In a Bettina Network home you will find a bottle of Apple Cider Vinegar in the bathrooms with a rag for you to use to clean the bathtub. The homes have clean bathrooms, but many guests, when they travel, don’t take a bath, in spite of wanting to take a bath and being accustomed to baths instead of showers. They are afraid of the tub and assume the hotel and/or the bed & breakfast and/or the inn, etc. could possibly not have cleaned the tub the way they would like it clean. Since the Apple Cider Vinegar is a disinfectant, we came upon the idea of putting a bottle in the bathrooms so guests can use it anyway they see fit.
Another use we have for Apple Cider Vinegar is in the clothes washer. We put in the detergent and fill the softener container with Apple Cider Vinegar to help clean and disinfect the wash – the sheets, towels, etc.
Doing just those few things will dramatically reduce your cleaning budget and increase the cleanliness and germ-freeness of your home. It will be pleasant smelling – no off-gases – nothing to hurt your hands or get into your blood stream and wreck havoc producing illnesses you become baffled by because you can’t figure out their genesis.
We have heard about using it to rinse your hair and do all kind of other things, but the above is what we are trying and getting feed back from so it is all we can talk about at the moment.
Hope this helps. Let us know if you find other uses, we love the feeback and try all suggestions (within reason). It helps us and others and will probably wind up in a blog. If it does, we will give you credit or post it anonymously, if you don’t want your name used.
