While apples are not thought of as medicinal herbs, they are a medicinal and healing healthy food. The entire apple tree is useful in home and herbal medicine. In addition to the fruit of the apple tree, its bark, flowers, and leaves all have healthy properties. Herbalists use the apple tree much like its cousin the rose. The inner bark of the apple tree as well as blossoms are an astringent tonic, and can be used as an infusion for sore throats. The wild crab apple tree is considered better than modern cultivars for use in herbal medicine.
Apple cider vinegar is such a useful and versatile substance, Truly no household should be without it. You can't go wrong with something that is healthy to eat, good for your skin and hair, and cleans and disinfects the bathroom to boot. To make it even better, when you add up the cost of the things you can replace with homemade vinegar recipes, it is one heck of a bargain.
You can replace the over-priced toxic cleaning chemicals with vinegar. It is naturally anti-fungal and leaves the bathroom, windows, and glass ware clean and shiny. The best way to clean fresh produce is a solution of one part vinegar to three parts, which removes 98 percent of the bacteria.

 Vinegar was considered a medicine by the Egyptians, Romans and prescribed by Hippocrates (Greece) for internal and external protection against many diseases. Caesar’s armies used vinegar as a beverage, Helen of Troy bathed in it to relax. During the First World War medics used vinegar to treat soldiers’ wounds.
The word vinegar comes from the French word "vinaigre" which means "sour wine." When the wine was first made, natural sugars were fermented into alcohol. Over time, bacteria in the air transformed the alcohol into acetic acid, also known as ethanoic acid, which is the organic chemical compound best recognized for giving vinegar its sour taste and pungent smell. |
