Best apple cider vinegars according to redditors

To anyone looking to up their skincare, I highly suggest the line from Baxter of California. Been using the face wash, toner, moisturizer, night cream AHA, and facial scrub for a few weeks now and it's great.

Also, I recommend doing a weekly clay mask. Get some calcium bentonite clay and mix with equal parts raw apple cider vinegar and let dry for 15-20 min. Wash off. Have glorious skin.

And in regards to cologne: Tom Ford Private Blend. You won't regret it.

Sure!

Step 1: steam your face or a hot steamy shower. Open the pores up! Refrain from any harsh cleansers or scrubbing other than gentle gentle gentle.


Step 2: swipe a stridex pad or any other salicylic acid based toner over the spot. Wait 15 min. It gently dissolves the dead skin layer that is clogging the pore, and begins to break down the layer of oil and crud that is keeping all of the fluid and pus inside.


Step 3: spot treat with Aztec clay mask, mixed with apple cider vinegar. You must mix the betonite clay mask with the Apple cider vinegar, to balance the pH and avoid burning your skin. It smells funky as hell but it is an acne killer, every single person on this thread will agree that it’s amazing for acne. It will draw it to a head quicker. This is great as a full face mask, be aware that it will pulse and tingle intensely as it dries! Your skin will be bright red for 30 min to an hour after removing it.


Step 4: wait 10 min until it dries and carefully peel it off the zit. It may even take the clogged pore top with it, opening it up for extraction — use an extractor tool or pore vacuum and do NOT just go squeeze it. If it does not come to a head repeat this again tomorrow! Do not do the full mask every day, the spot treatment is ok daily only on blemishes. As a full mask it’s best to use it once or maybe twice a week at most, or you risk compromising your lipid/moisture barrier and going through some seriously not fun times. Always follow up with a good oil free moisturizer.

This is the best way to completely drain this blemish, without forcing the pus further into your skin and creating even more breakouts down the line.


All of these products are easily obtained on Amazon, or any major grocer that has a health food section or oriented towards health. I know for a fact that Gelsons, Whole Foods, Erewhon, sprouts all carry the Aztec betonite clay mask and apple cider vinegar. Any chemist or pharmacy will have stridex wipes and benzoyl peroxide & maybe even the extractor tool as well. If they do not have the extractor, pick up some Hydrocollegial bandages as well as small diabetic lancets (Tiny needles used for blood sugar testing) if you don’t have anything you can use at home to poke it with.


Now steam your face for 5 to 10 minutes to open your pores then see if you can gently lance the pimple with a lancet or sterilized small needle. (It must be sterilized and rubbing alcohol for a few minutes first, or you will get an infection.)

Gently pierce it, then allow it to drain and very carefully apply pressure straight down to the sides of the blemish. Do not squeeze directly into it, again super bad. Once you’ve gotten as much out as you can, slap a hydro colloidal bandage on it and sleep with it on. The bandage will suck all of the fluid and pus out, leaving you with a flattened bump in the morning that you can apply a little dab of benzoyl peroxide on. Benzoyl Peroxide is an anaerobic substance, it penetrates all the way to the base of the skin through multiple layers to target acne bacteria. It’s best used as a spot treatment and will fry the crap out of your face. Always use sunscreen after using these medicines!

I use Aztec Clay mixed with Apple Cider Vinegar! I'm guessing there was something added to the mask you used that was what broke you out. Clay masks shouldn’t normally cause break outs

I definitely think if you stopped in January, with beginning to try in May, your system should be clear.

I like to do a natural detox about everything 3 months (when the seasons change), for 3-5 days. You could add several different types of detoxing after you quit smoking to really, really clean up.

I add a spoonful each of bentonite and psyllium husk to a glass of cranberry juice. (It can be any juice, but cranberry is strong - to mask out weird tastes - and it's known for being "good" for feminine issues. And I love the taste.) It's super sugary though, and cutting sugars is a good part of a detoxing, so I'd water it down. Mix everything up well with a spoon, and drink up.

You could also add Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) into your life, if you haven't be acquainted already. It's amazing.
It's can be crazy disgusting at first, but the results are wild. It will absolutely impact your:

• digestion
  
• bowel movements (can cause diarrhea if you take a lot at first; work up to 1 shot glass of it)
  
• energy
  
  
  
  It's recommended before you eat in the morning and/or afternoon. A shot every morning will start to make changes within a day. Do half a shot to start, mixed with water. You'll want a chaser of at least more water, if not something juice to get that taste out of your mouth.
  I used to do this as part of a healthy weight loss plan. It helped with my appetite and digestion, and honestly gave me a lot of diarrhea. I realized I was just taking too much, so cut back, and it now really helps if I'm ever constipated. You will likely really want natural and safe ways to help with constipation with your preggers. You will likely be crazy constipated often.
  
  Lastly, a actual "detox" kit is always good. These are my 2 favorites, but there are more out there that are good. Inner Cleanse is the cheaper (1/2 the cost), and it's gentle. Like ACV, it can cause diarrhea. Read and follow the directions.
  The other one is Raw Cleanse. It's more complicated and I found it pretty gross, but if you can stomach the process (or find a middle ground with it, like adding juice), it's quite effective. Both of these kits are different, but their ingredients have detoxing elements that nothing else so far has offered.
  
  Also, I recommend drinking kombucha at least weekly. IMHO, this is one of the best brands for kombucha (besides locally made goodness). There are a few other brands that are good, but watch our for the sugar.
  
  So, if it's not apparent by now, all of these detoxing, in some way, stimulate you to ultimately poop a lot. Trying all these different ways of detoxing will not only detox you up, but you can find one detox that you prefer, and then do that one occasionally. I do a super big detox, as in all the things described above combined, maybe every 18. mos - 2 years, and then just one of those (cranberry juice blend or detox pills) every ~3 months.
  
  Hope this helps! Congrats on planning a family. <3

Pasteurization kills the microbial culture which is what they eat, so I don't know -_- unpasteurized is probably sold as raw or unfiltered so I wouldn't know what you'd have to buy.

edit: this is what i found searching http://www.amazon.com/Bragg-Apple-Cider-Vinegar-32/dp/B0000DI1ZC Now I want vinegar eels, lol

I like Bragg's apple cider vinegar, 1 part to 2 or 3 parts olive oil on salads.

If you like spicy stuff, you can also make pique with it really easily and it's good on practically everything.

Skin: am wipe face with solution of equal parts water and bragg appple cider vinegal. pm Dr. Bronner's coconut oil as cold creme, remove with damp wash cloth and apply second thin layer as moisturizer. my redness is gone and my pores have never looked smaller. super cheap.

Regarding vinegar, long standing American and European cultural belief is that vinegars are super helpful to the body and have powerful medicinal properties. I'm not talking about the cheap synthetic vinegars that hotels will use. However, apple cider vinegar for example, with the "mother" such as Bragg Organic is considered to have powerful health benefits.

In India, a region in Karnataka (Coorg) has a fruit called kachampuli that is somewhat similar to kokum. Vinegar made from Kachampuli is also considered to have some very powerful health benefits such as being controlling blood sugar and promoting weight loss.

Of course, please take all these health claims with a big pinch of salt.

Fire Cider is great for colds and being sick. I take a teaspoon every 3 hours when I’m sick. I’m usually all better within 3 days. I also take Elderberry Syrup to help with colds as well!

>Itu kosher, sea, sama table salt beda flavournya ya?

beda bro ku. secara texture table salt fine banget dan jadinya gampang larut. kalo kosher dan sea salt, biasanya lebih coarse. lebih besar2. kl dari flavour memang perbedaannya subtle banget sih, tp harus coba biar tau. nah kalo mau incorporate keduanya, bisa aja. biasanya untuk seasoning di awal pake table salt, lightly aja, terus nanti pas udh selesai masak sebelum di serve, di tabur lagi, bisa ngasih texture crunchy jg.

​

>Ada recommended savory/salty/fried food to try making?

ada, ini gampang bgt dan lumayan cepet.

(gue agak cringe nama namain makanan gini, cuma ya gue coba describe aja yak. mudah mudahan ga bingung)

​

Pan seared boneless chicken thigh, with garlic, rosemary, and lemon.

​

Ingredients:

• Paha Ayam tanpa tulang yang masih ada kulitnya. (kenapa ga dada ayam? paha ayam lebih banyak fat content nya. lebih juicy. dada lebih banyak protein nya, lebih gampang keras)
  
• Lemon 1/2, peres ke air 1/4 gelas.
  
• bawang putih 4 siung, cingang/ geprek
  
• bawang bombay 1/2, cincang.
  
• Dried Rosemary
  
• Salt (any kind)
  
• Black pepper (di grind dulu, atau beli yang bubuk)
  
• (optional) bubuk cabe rawit/ Cayenne Pepper Powder.
  
• Olive oil/Vegetable Oil (i use soy)
  
• Butter
  
  ​
  
  Pastiin daging ayam mentah harus punya plate nya sendiri. yang lain di taro di cutting board/ satu piring gapapa. biar ga terkontaminasi salmonella.
  
  ​
  
  Preparation:
  
  

1. siapin ayamnya, kalo beli di pasar biasanya gue cuci dikit pake air minum. jangan air mentah. terus gue pat dry pake paper towel. terutama bagian skin nya. pastiin air di permukaan ayam di lap semua.
   
2. biar matengnya rata, biasanya ayamnya gue pound dikit dibagian yang ketebelan, tp ga ekstrim sampe gepeng. biar even aja tebelnya. jd gue cover pake plastik, terus gue ratain pake meat tenderizer. kalo nggak ada bisa pake ulekan. tp ini optional. ga juga gapapa.
   
3. lo lumurin ayamnya pake garem, black pepper, sama rosemary. garemnya kira kira max. satu sendok teh. black pepper sama rosemarynya kira kira satu sendok teh juga.
   
   ​
   
   Cooking:
   
   
4. panasin wajan, kasih minyak secukupnya, kayak dua sendok makan gitu lah. tergantung ukuran si paha ayam segimana. tunggu sampe mulai keliatan agak berasep.
   
5. ayam ada dua sisi, bagian atas yang ada kulit, sama bagian bawah yang ga ada kulitnya. taro ayam bagian kulit dulu, terus diemin jangan di bolak balik selama sekitar 5-7 menitan. apinya kecil/ sedeng aja biar ga gosong. ini tujuannya biar kulitnya bisa kering.
   
6. selagi nunggu si kulitnya crisp, gue biasanya tabur bubuk cabe dikit di bagian ayam yang ga ada kulitnya.
   
7. kalo dagingnya udh keliatan mulai agak putih di bawah, gue masukin bawang putihnya. gue taro di sekitar ayamnya. ini biar minyaknya di infuse sm bawang.
   
8. kalo bawangnya udh agak kecoklatan dan wangi, lo pencet2 kayak di peres gitu, terus angkat dr wajan. habis itu sisa minyak bawang tadi gue sendokin terus gue tuang ke ayamnya.
   
9. setelah 5-7 menit, harusnya si kulit udh bisa bisa lepas dan kering. balik ayamnya. tunggu sekitar 2 menitan atau coba lo teken aja, misalnya udh agak firm. itu harusnya udh mau mateng. lo angkat dari wajan, taro piring. terus diemin sebentar. kalo mau bisa tabur garem lagi diatas kulitnya. udah jadi deh ayamnya!
   
   ​
   
   nah di wajan nya kan ada sisa sisa yang tadi. minyak, kulit2 ayam yang nempel, dsb. itu bisa dipake.
   
   masih di wajan yang tadi,
   
   
10. masukin bawang bombay cincang yang udh disiapin, tumis sampe agak layu dan translucent.
    
11. tuang air lemon ke wajan sedikit2 sambil terus numis, terus naikin panasnya pelan2 sambil lo scrape si bagian2 yang kering dan nempel di wajan td.
    
12. kalo udh semua air lemon ketuang, sambil terus di aduk, masukin butter satu sendok makan.
    
13. kalo mau bisa tabur dried rosemary lagi.
    
14. tumis sampe dia mengental/ reduced sampe setengah. cobain. kl kurang manis/ asin bisa tambah garam atau gula merah(atau madu) sedikit. jadi deh saus!
    
    ​
    
    nah carb nya bebas, bisa pake ubi, kentang, nasi, roti, pasta.
    
    kl kentang atau ubi biasanya gue kupas, rebus biar starch nya ilang, gue angkat terus gue tumis tumis pake bawang putih, garem, sama dried oregano. udah gitu aja.
    
    (biasanya kentang sama ubi gue campur, biar balance ada manisnya)
    
    ​
    
    sayurnya bisa pake salad. jadi selada/ lettuce fresh, diaduk pake vinaigrette.
    
    resep vinaigrette:
    
    Ingredients:
    
    

• 2 siung garlic, cincang
  
• 1 sendok makan Dijon mustard (penting sebagai emulsifier, biar bahan2 nya bisa kecampur)
  
• 1/4 gelas apple cider vinegar, (ini keras bgt, boleh dicampur air)
  
• 1/2 lemon, di peres.1-2 sendok makan madu,
  
• 1/3 gelas olive oil

  Directions:
  
  campur di satu toples/jar/ botol. kocok2. diemin 30 menitan. jadi deh. udahnya kuat di taro kulkas kayak.. 1 bulan- 2 bulanan lah.
  
  ​
  
  met nyobain! kl bingung you can PM me.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Results may vary but it's been touted to help with GERD. Once I'm in better shape and at my target weight I plan on making the experiment to see if it works for me.

Lately I've been using the commonly recommended Bentonite clay + Apple Cider Vinegar mask. I've been using it every other day for a week and it has surprisingly dimished my sebaceous filaments and also helped zap a few stubborn pimples I had. It has also really brightened up my skin's general look and evened out my skin tone quite a bit.

I tried this mask a few times a while back, but I think my clay:vinegar ratio was too heavy on the clay end, and it irritated my skin. Now I've been using a lot more vinegar and mixing it to a fairly thin consistency (almost pudding-like), and then layering it until it's thick and opaque. I leave it on only until it begins to crack a bit, and not until it completely dries. I rinse it off in the shower and gently break up the softened clay by using circular motions with my fingers. I used to attempt to remove it with a washcloth but that just added to the irritation.

Depending on your tolerance you might be able to use this mask daily if you leave it on for a short time (10 minutes max) and are gentle with your removal.

On the note of slowing down aging, be sure to use a daily sunscreen with a 30+ SPF. That's your best bet of reducing skin damage and wrinkles long-term.

Is this what you mean? If not, I recommend it. It's the brand I was introduced to, and I can say that it doesn't taste bad at all - the opposite, in fact.

I started it years and years ago after some people I know drank a tablespoon per day to prevent everyday illness. They swore by it, and now I do, too, but none of us have anything scientific to back it up.

Or, too, I could just be crazy and have crazy tastebuds.

You mean use the cotton ball to apply it onto the wart, and then tape over the wart? Would this stuff be ok?

Hey man, I feel for you, I really do. I started recently doing an Aztec Clay Mask which has done a lot to reduce the redness of my skin and even out my complexion.

It has worked wonders for a lot of people and there is a visible difference after the first two tries. Here are the links and please let me know how it goes for you.

All you need to make cider vinegar is cider that's done fermenting and some "vinegar mother". You can easily get that by getting your hands on some vinegar with live mother: Bragg Cider Vinegar. Just introduce a small portion of the raw vinegar to your newly boozed up juice and let it go for a month or two.

Also, don't do this near your other fermentations... unless you really like vinegar.

i learned recently that unfiltered apple cider vinegar can work amazing for any kind of gastric issues (gerd, acid reflux, etc) and natural coconut oil can help if its bacteria related

since you cant swallow pills, Braggs apple cider vinegar probably the most natural organic stuff out there.




tastes like ass but you mix 2 tablespoons with a glass of juice/water daily and youre good to go

best of luck

Hey there!

For acne treatment, try the following combo. It works wonders. Mix them together, and apply the paste to your acne sensitive skin at least once a week. Leave on for 10~ minutes or so, and wash off.

This is it. Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar

Honey has lots of sugar which spikes insulin which breaks a fast. One of the best benefits of fasting is the HGH that's produced. HGH depletes as soon as an insulin response is triggered. If you do it in your feeding window it shouldn't be an issue but keep track of your sugar intake as to not over produce insulin.

ACV alone won't break the fast. I drink 2 tsp of ACV with 8 oz of water as soon as I wake up and then a tablespoon with 8 oz of water after each meal. I put some lemon juice in it sometimes. It knocks the edge of the sourness but in the morning it's a nice jolt to the system.

Most people add honey to it because they can't drink it straight but it's a lot of sugar, and if you don't get pure organic honey (befriend a bee keeper!) some of it can have syrups as a bulking agent.

ACV has a multitude of benefits. Helps digestion, helps healthy gut bacteria and helps curb sweet cravings. I don't know if this is the kind of answer you are looking for but there's my two cents.

How much water should I used to dilute the ACV? Is the ACV just the one's you'd find at a grocery store? Would this be something I would use and dilute it using water and keep in a spray bottle?

This gorgeous sexy fluid right here. I recommend anyone with acid reflux drink a shot of this in a glass of water. This is the only brand that I will use, Heinz makes some too but it tastes off to me.

In the US Apple Cider Vinegar is a common vinegar used in cooking, etc.

Quick Google search yielded this. I guess it's available in the UK through Amazon.

You are most welcome...I'm confident that it will help you. :)

You will most likely find ACV at a grocery store (as opposed to a drug store). Try new seasons, whole foods, Fred Meyer/Kroger...not sure what stores you have where you live, but it will be in the health food or "natural" section. This is what the bottle looks like: https://www.amazon.com/Bragg-Apple-Cider-Vinegar-BTLS/dp/B01CSX4N9K/ref=sr_1_4_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1506402653&sr=8-4&keywords=braggs%2Bapple%2Bcider%2Bvinegar&th=1

I added the baking soda because it is purported to have helpful effects for gout as well, and someone here suggested it to me back when I was looking for help, to help to cut down the acidity of the ACV, but you can definitely drink it without it. The first time I tried ACV for an attack I drank 4oz straight...never again. After comparing notes with others here, it was probably more than I needed. I had a second mild attack six months after that, and I drank 2oz (with the recipe I gave earlier) and that did the trick. If it's a bad attack go for more, but after you've tasted it trust me, you will drink as little as possible. :) You can drink it straight, cut it with just water, etc...my recipe was just a suggestion, but it's what works for me after consulting with other users here. Post attack, keep yourself hydrated, take potassium and calcium/magnesium supplements, and try the ACV and cherry extract tablets if you can. My Doctor was willing to prescribe me allo, but I wanted to try something natural first, which she encouraged, and this works for me. It doesn't work for everyone, but I was amazed at the difference it made, and now I swear by it. This works for some, allo works for others...we're all different. But this stuff saved me. :)

Keep me posted on how it goes, here or with a PM. Don't forget the cherry juice, I used to drink just that for attacks and it helps, but ACV was definitely the secret weapon for me.
