Cider vinegar

Sore throat? Stuffy nose? Grab the vinegar

Ok, so it may not be the sexiest of remedies, but cider vinegar has a lot to offer, especially when you’re feeling run down.

If you’re suffering from the seasonal sniffles, sipping on cider vinegar mixed with some water can be a great way to help you decongest and shift the worst of the sniffly stuff. This germ-buster is also a great way to ward off a sore throat, thanks to the acidic environment it creates – simply add to warm water and sip to nix painful sore throats.

But that’s not all. It could also help you bag that Hollywood smile. If your pearly whites are losing their sheen, have a good gargle. Cider vinegar is thought to help remove stains, whiten teeth, and kill bacteria in your mouth and gums. So that’ll be cider vinegars all round then?

To get the best from this medicinal wonder it’s best to opt for raw apple cider vinegar – packed with gut-friendly bacteria and raw enzymes – which you can get from most health shops.
