Hi friends
today I will be telling you about Apple Cider Vinegar
which is being commonly spoken of today
By drinking it, and by applying it on your skin
there are reported to be many benefits
which are all over on TV, the newspaper and even youtube
A lot of people speak about ACV as if
it is a magical potion
which means that it is such a magical thing
which works from your head to toe
in curing all kinds of problems
However, Apple Cider Vinegar does have it's uses
and is useful for curing many problems
However, without getting complete information about it
you should not be using it to treat your problems
In this video
I will be telling you
where all ACV use is recommended
and what is the method of it's correct usage
And also what are the harmful effects that can occur
if one uses ACV recklessly or without a complete understanding of it
In order to make ACV, pulp from the apple fruit
is mixed along with Yeast and certain bacteria
and then this is allowed to ferment
which turns into alcohol and then finally it turns into Vinegar
the main ingredient of this Vinegar
is Acetic Acid
and to a lesser extent, it also contains
Citric Acid, Lactic Acid, Maleic Acid and a small amount of micro organisms and bacteria
For a very long time ACV has been used in home remedies and treatments
as a Anti-Septic, as well as a preservative for food items
which prevents food items from going stale
Now, I will tell you about the benefits of consuming ACV orally
Firstly, those who suffer from Diabetes
can take 1 Teaspoon of ACV
mixed in half a glass of water
along with their food
This will prevent your Blood Sugar & Insulin levels from fluctuating too much after a meal
which means that these levels will not go haywire
The other use of ACV is Weight Loss
For 3 months
First thing in the morning, take one glass of Lukewarm water
and add 2 Teaspoons of ACV to it. Consuming this regularly can result in a weight loss of 1 Kilo, over 3 months
Triglycerides in the blood
Fat accumulated inside the stomach
and BMI also see a reduction if this is implemented
However, the way in which ACV is being touted as a weight loss agent nowadays
Is completely wrong
If you consume a moderate amount of ACV, accompanied by a healthy diet and regular exercise
then ACV can assist in weight loss
However, there is not much benefit in consuming ACV all by itself, without proper diet and exercise
Many people mistakenly assume that by drinking large quantities of ACV or by eating ACV tablets, they will become thin
The reality is that consuming too much of ACV will give you acidity
and heart burn
The third use of ACV is to reduce dandruff
Take 2 Table Spoons of ACV
and mix them in 1 Full cup of water
and then fill this mixture in a spray bottle
Spray this water all over your head, by parting your hair and making sure it reaches the scalp
Let it sit for 15 minutes
and then rinse it completely off your head using only plain water
The Acetic Acid present inside ACV does not let Yeast grow
which is a kind of fungus, which causes dandruff
and this reduces the dandruff
However, this is not a complete treatment of dandruff
The treatment of Dandruff
as also the dandruff caused due to fungal infections in scalp and beard
and the treatment of Seborrheic Dermatitis (Oily dandruff) has been given in previous videos on my channel - You can have a look at them also.
Those who dye or colour their hair
can get hair damage by applying ACV to their hair
That is why, if you dye your hair
then you should not be using ACV
in your hair at all
The fourth use of ACV is the treatment of Smelly Feet
These people should take half a bucket of normal water
and add 1 cup of Apple cider vinegar to it
Next, you should soak your feet in this water daily, for atleast 15 minutes
this reduces the foul smell from feet
because ACV prevents the growth of Yeast and infection causing bacteria in the skin
But again, this is not the complete treatment for smelly feet
The causes of smelly feet
and the video for it's complete treatment
is available to watch on my channel - Please see it.
Apple cider Vinegar can also be used to lighten dark underarms
In 1 tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar
add 1 tablespoon of water
and also add 1 teaspoon of baking soda into the mix
make a good, smooth paste out of this
Next, apply this paste to a small patch of skin first
so that you can be sure that it does not irritate or burn your skin
then you can safely apply it to your entire underarm area
after application, let it sit for about 20 minutes
then rinse it off properly with plain water
and apply Virgin Coconut Oil to the area
Besides this, many people use ACV to treat indigestion
and to treat inflammation caused by the bites of insects
and to condition their hair
and to treat lice in their hair, to treat sunburn and to treat acne/pimples
and ACV is also used for gargling, in case you have a sore throat
However, in my opinion
there are better medicines and treatments for these problems
as also safer home remedies
that is why for these problems, the usage of Apple Cider Vinegar
is not recommended by me
Now, I will tell you about the harmful effects of Apple Cider Vinegar if it is used without proper knowledge
Firstly, if you use ACV directly
or mix a very large quantity of ACV in water
and apply it to your skin or face
then it can cause acid burns to your skin
the second harmful effect is that using ACV as a home remedy
for teeth whitening
is not advised at all
the acid in ACV can cause damage to your tooth enamel
by dissolving it slowly
which can lead to tooth decay and cavities
The third harmful effect is that ACV is basically a strong acid
and if it is consumed without diluting in water first
or diluted in very little water before consuming it
it can lead to chemical burns inside the mouth, throat and stomach
And by consuming too much of it, there can be a shortage of glucose, potassium and calcium in the body
which can cause
cramping in your hands and feet
bones also get weak
and reduction of sugar in the body can also lead to dizziness
ACV can cause adverse reactions if mixed with other medicines/medications also
that is why if you are on any kind of medication for blood pressure, diabetes, kidney problems or heart disase
then you should not consume Apple Cider Vinegar without consulting a doctor first
Friends, I hope that this knowledge about ACV will be beneficial to you
And you will have a better understanding of the usage of ACV
where to use it, and where not to use it
I hope this video is helpful to you for that
Thank you!
