How To Make Apple Cider Vinegar And It's Many Uses

Here we are with Destiny and Danielle making raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar.  This is so easy and costs you nothing.  Well, nothing you really have to buy.  When we eat apples, we save the cores in a bag in the refrigerator.  When we have enough, we make the vinegar.  Please get organic apples because they are heavily sprayed with harmful chemicals.

All you need is:

A glass jar

Apples (cores, peels, or whole apple)

water

coffee filter or napkin

rubber band

another glass jar for your finished cider

How to do it:

Simply let apple cores or peels brown a little by leaving them out for a short while.  Since we keep ours in the refrigerator, they are a little brown already.  Place them all in the jar and fill the jar with filtered water.  Make sure there is a little room left at the top of the jar.

Cover with napkin and fasten with rubber bank.  Leave it for about a month (longer if the weather is cold about 6 weeks).  After a month, drain the liquid into your other glass jar.  Congratulations, you've just made raw and unfiltered apple cider vinegar.

Apple Cider Vinegar is a must in any natural home.  It is anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-septic.  It kills 98% of all germs.

Some health benefits are:

What are the benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar?

 

* Rich in potassium, a mineral that is often times lacking in adult diets. This mineral is key for growth, building muscles, transmission of nerve impulses, heart activity etc. It also helps to prevent brittle teeth, hair loss and runny noses.

 

* Rich in acetic acid. This acid is said to slow the digestion of starch which can help to lower the rise in glucose that commonly occurs after meals.

 

* Rich in ash which gives Apple Cider Vinegar its alkaline property. This aids your body in maintaining proper pH levels for a healthy alkaline state. (It is particularly important if you drink a lot of coffee or wine.)

 

* It can help regulate blood pressure and reduce bad cholesterol.

 

* Rich in malic acid which gives ACV its anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties.

 

* May help improve bowel irregularity and helps to remove toxins from the body at a faster rate.

 

* It can help clear up skin conditions and blemishes.

 

* Apple Cider Vinegar helps with weight loss by breaking down fats so that your body can use them rather than store them.

These are just a few of it's many wonderful uses:

 

1. Reduces body fat, particularly that pesky abdominal fat, and triglycerides (the bad cholesterol).

 

2. Balance your pH levels to bust fatigue and keep your energy levels up.

 

3. Improve circulation.

 

4. Detoxify the liver and kidneys.

 

5. Break down mucus and cleanse the lymph nodes to heal allergy symptoms. Also gets rid of nasty side effects such as headaches, sore throats, and sinus infections.

 

6. Strengthen your stomach acid and prevent acid reflux and heartburn from junk food.

 

Helpful tip: Drink it with a straw to keep it away from the enamel on your teeth.

 

You can also incorporate apple cider vinegar into your beauty routine:

 

7. Increase the body and shine of your hair by running a cup of ACV through it after shampooing a few times a week. It’s great for removing build-up and restoring your hair to its natural state. Don’t worry – if you rinse well, you won’t smell like vinegar.

 

8. Fade age spots and kill acne by using apple cider vinegar as a skin toner. Dilute it a bit with some water, then soak a cotton ball in it and rub it all over your face before bed.

 

9. Treat warts or ringworm by soaking a cotton ball in ACV, placing it on the affected area, and securing it with a band aid. Leave it on overnight and repeat this until the wart dries up and falls off.

 

10. Heal a sunburn fast by adding adding a cup of ACV to warm bath water and soaking in it for 10-20 minutes. When I did this I rubbed coconut oil all over my sunburn after the bath and it worked wonders.

 

11. Whiten your teeth by brushing with ACV before brushing with toothpaste. Don’t do this often to avoid wearing away the enamel. (Admin Note: Use only Non-Fluoride Toothpaste – All Natural is best)

 

12. Relieve itchy mosquito bites by rubbing a cotton ball soaked with ACV over the affected area.

 

Clean your home and pets with apple cider vinegar:

 

13. Clean your toilet with apple cider vinegar by dumping a cup into the bowl, letting it sit overnight, scrubbing it clean in the morning, and flushing.

 

14. Create an all-purpose apple cider vinegar cleaner by adding half cup ACV and 1 cup water to a spray bottle. Use it to clean microwaves, kitchen counters, bath tiles, windows, mirrors, shower scum, and other non-porous surfaces. This is one of my go-to ways for quickly wiping down the bathroom. I also had a grand idea the other day for reusing a Clorox Disinfecting Wipes tube – add this solution to the empty tube, stuff some rags in there, and grab one when it’s time for a quick clean up. Much cheaper than the store-bought wipes.

 

15. Add a tablespoon or two to your dishwasher for extra clean and sparkly dishes. I don’t have a dishwasher, but when I soak my dishes before washing I add a little ACV to the mix to help break down food residue.

What Is Apple Cider Vinegar?

 

Vinegar is a product of fermentation. This is a process in which sugars in a food are broken down by bacteria and yeast. In the first stage of fermentation, the sugars are turned into alcohol. Then, if the alcohol ferments further, you get vinegar. The word comes from the French, meaning “sour wine.” While vinegar can be made from all sorts of things — like many fruits, vegetables, and grains — apple cider vinegar comes from pulverized apples.

 

The main ingredient of apple cider vinegar, or any vinegar, is acetic acid. However, vinegars also have other acids, vitamins, mineral salts, and amino acids.

Allergy Season Symptoms, ChemTrails And Detox for Children

This year allergy symptoms hit even my little ones.

Unprecedented in my family, thus, we began to find out why everyone around us came down with the same symptoms.

Symptoms of allergy season include:

• Runny nose


• Watery, red eyes


• Wheezing


• Coughing


• Sneezing


• Drainage


• And all around feeling miserable.


• Tightness in the chest with difficulty breathing

This was several people we talked to in the same area.  Well, it was hard not to notice that there were at least 10 ChemTrail planes flying over our region for the last two weeks trying to control weather and bring rain.  Rain did come but at what cost.   This Chem Trail is a huge subject for another post.  I won't attempt to explain it here.  In the meantime,  we concluded that this "seasonal allergy" is also due to the pollutants in the air that are sprayed by these planes since this is also the season they focus on spraying.  They heavily saturate the air with aluminum, aerosol and others.  What do we do?

1. Try to stay indoors as much as possible


2. Purify the air inside your home by having an air purifier or, like  us, get a big fan and attach a good allergen filter to it.  In addition spray vinegar water all around and leave bowls with vinegar around your house.  This will neutralize acidic air and kill germs in the air as vinegar evaporates.


3. Detox.  It is always a great idea to detox at least once a year.

Our world is very different that it was 100 years ago.  Our children deal with so many toxins around the environment, food, water, products that it is impossible to get away from them.   This year I am trying these.

 Detox ways for Children:

1. Combining a mild laxative (such as aloe, prune juice, or fennel seeds) with a bulking agent (such as psyllium fiber for short-term use or ground flax seeds for a long-term solution).


2. A safe liver support agent is milk thistle, an amazing liver-healing herb. Use a high-quality product and give your child the recommended dose for one to three months once a year.


3. Drink a lot of purified water with lemon drops.


4. Move around to stimulate the lymphatic circulation and drainage.  A 20-minute walk every day to break a light sweat for about 40 minutes, 3—4 times per week.


5. Supplement with a good quality Multivitamin and a green foods powder.


6. Avoid bad foods-- I am guessing you know what these are.  Right, refined flours, sugars, hydrogenated oils, corn syrup...


7. Eat raw fruits and vegetables and greens every day.

 

Immune System Boosters For Children:

1. A blend of purple onion, garlic, lemon and raw honey.  Take one teaspoon a day or more as needed.   Also, elderberry tincture


2. Echenesia and goldenseal tincture for flu like symtoms only.


3. Cinnamon Sticks tea.  A great one to serve in breakfast, sweeten with stevia or raw honey.  A great tasting tea.


4.  Enjoy local raw honey and cinnamon powder.  Serve it over toast, muffins.


5. Combine herbs like rosemary, sage -good for coughing-, nettle, garlic, lemon, ginger, choose any combination you like with local raw honey.   Combine the herbs in a jar with the honey and leave it for 2-3 weeks.

Remember that honey is not for babies under 1 year old.

Treating Lizbeth's tooth infection

External treatment for tooth abscess:

Lizbeth came down with a tooth infection.  It served as a lesson to the whole family of the importance of taking time for teeth hygine and flossing.  Because we don't have insurance to cover dentists costs, we depend on the Lord to provide the fund or to heal her.  I'm glad He just didn't heal her because many times when we don't suffer any consequence we go on the same and precautions are often lost.  Dad took her to the dentist and she needed attention immediately.  Praise God! who provides all our needs.  Our dentist offered to cover the costs of a mini root canal, ouch!  Now I need to treat the infection immediately.  Here are the steps to treating an infected tooth.  (Note a Dentist diagnosis and visit is very important)

An abscessed tooth is always a severe condition and needs medical help, but as a first aid you may try following multiple treatments:

1. Place a dry black teabag or small piece of raw potato inside of your cheek against the sore tooth and keep it in for a couple of hours or overnight. It can draw out the infection and drain the pus. The result is diminished pain and swelling.


2. Make a gum poultice or packing around the painful tooth with salt and baking soda. Mix half baking soda and half cooking salt and dip a wet cotton ball into the salt mixture and stuff it in your mouth between sick tooth and cheek. Keep it in for several hours. Repeat this pack for a few times, it is able to drain out the gum boil.


3. In between swish around your mouth with Hydrogen Peroxide 1,5% as a mouthwash in order to disinfect the inflamed area. If you do not prefer Hydrogen Peroxide, you may use also Tea Tree oil in some water as a gargle. (You can use Colloidal Silver or Grapefruit Seed Extract as natural antibiotics as well.)


4. If the abscess begins to discharge, pus is coming out, you feel an odd taste in your mouth brush your teeth (perhaps with a baking soda/peroxide toothpaste) and repeat the disinfectant H2O2 gargle. After rinsing take a cotton ball and soak it in Hydrogen Peroxide and place it on the opened, discharging abcess.


5. You can assist the drainage by lightly pushing against your cheek near the abcess. BUT, only lightly! If you press strongly you may push pus into the bloodstream or nearby tissues which can cause a more serious infection.


6. Take 3 or 4 garlic capsules (300mg) a day for 5 days as a natural antibiotic and Vitamin C 1000mg three times a day for 3 days.


7. Consult with a dentist starting appropriate antibiotics and checking the abscess.
