The reported cures from drinking Apple Cider Vinegar are almost too numerous to mention. They include cures for allergies, sinus infections, high cholesterol, flu, sore throats, chronic fatigue, candida, acid reflux, contact dermatitis, acne, arthritis, and gout. Apple Cider Vinegar also breaks down fat, so it has been used for weight loss. It may even help people with high blood pressure.

An essential ingredient in Four Thieves vinegar, Apple Cider Vinegar is an essential protective herb. To make Four Thieves vinegar, fill a jar with protective herbs (garlic, black, pepper, cayenne, and mustard seed are a good blend), then fill the jar with Apple Cider vinegar. Seal jar with a tight lid, shake, and set in a cool, dark place for 6-8 weeks. Strain and use. Other protective herbs can be used, but Apple Cider vinegar and four protective herbs are the classic recipe.
