Five uses for apple cider vinegar:

1) Hair Rinse
* Smooths hair
* Balances pH
* It’s anti-microbial
* It might relieve dandruff

* Dilute with water if it irritates your skin
* I use a pump bottle to apply to my hair, I leave it in for about 5 minutes, then rinse off

2) Use it in your laundry
* instead of fabric softener
* It helps to break up and remove detergent residue
* Helps deodorize

* use 1/2 cup for a medium-sized load
* and replace ACV with white vinegar if you want to cut costs

3) Use ACV to make the calcium supplements
* by soaking eggshells in vinegar for a few days, you can soften the shells and eat them to get a whole-foods source for calcium
* To do this, make sure to clean and dry your eggshells before soaking.  Some experts say to include the membrane to help arthritic pain, others say to remove it
* Soak for a few days until it is soft, then consume

4) Produce wash
* do a ratio of 3:1 water:vinegar
* allow your veggies/fruit to soak for about 2 minutes, then rinse with fresh water

5) You can use it to help digestion
* if you have a heavy meal, you may benefit from taking acv beforehand
* I’d avoid doing this all the time because your body might get used to it and then start producing less stomach acid - which will be detrimental in the long run, but if you need a little help here and there, should be fine
