Apple Cider Vinegar is one of those things which our mum tried to force on to us as kids, with little success, but which I now have completely come around to, tail fully between my legs. It is a must-have for many reasons, not least if you’re liable to sinusitis. In a steam inhalation, the naturally antiseptic, antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties of Apple Cider Vinegar really clean out the nasal passages to help clear sinus infections. Simply add a quarter of a cup of Apple Cider Vinegar to 2 cups of water and bring to the boil. Pour it into a bowl. Hold a towel over your head like a tent, lean over the bowl and inhale the steam for 3 minutes.
In additional praise of Apple Cider Vinegar, when I can face it, I drink a tablespoon daily in a glass of water. The fermentation process involved in the making of the vinegar does wonders for your digestive tract and biome, and therefore for your immunity. Drinking the vinegar in apple juice can help take the sting out if the taste bothers you. Do make sure you get Apple Cider Vinegar containing the Mother. The Mother in vinegar, which gives it its cloudy appearance, is where all the good bacteria lies, so the cloudier, the better.
