Apple Cider Vinegar For Itchy Scalp

The following post is entitled Apple Cider Vinegar for itchy scalp and provides useful information for curing or treating itchy scalp by using apple cider vinegar.

Causes of itchy scalp range from dry skin to fungal infection and Apple cider vinegar is one of the most effective ways of treating itchy scalp. This is because of the anti fungal and anti bacterial properties of apple cider vinegar which will deal with the root causes of the itchy scalp.

A straight forward way of treating itchy scalp is to apply apple cider vinegar to the root of your hair and allow it to stand for 30 minutes before washing your hair. As stated above the apple cider vinegar will kill bacteria and fungi that might be causing the itchy scalp.

Another way is to combine apple cider vinegar with other herbs such as rosemary, lavender, lemon and sage.  You do it by first putting two teaspoons of the herb in a muslin cloth and pour boiling water over the herb to infuse them. Mix the resultant herbal infusion with apple cider vinegar and apply it to the scalp and rinse after 30 minutes.

For those that do not have the time to prepare the above, then the other solution is to buy Apple Cider Vinegar Hair Rinse Roots 8 Ounces and use it to treat your itchy scalp. Another product is the Fekkai Apple Cider Clarifying Shampoo 8 oz.

Below is a video on the use of Apple Cider Vinegar on the use of apple cider vinegar in treating Acne or pimples. Apple Cider Vinegar works through its antibacterial properties which kills the bacteria on the acne or pimples affected skin and also balances the skins PH level.

You do this by diluting apple Cider Vinegar with water three to four times the amount of Apple cider vinegar. You can then apply the diluted apple cider vinegar by using a clean cloth or cotton. Do this at least two times a day. Please take note that Apple Cider Vinegar should only be used therapeutically and not as food as it may damage some body tissues if used for too long.

hiccoughs or Hiccups

A hiccup or hiccough  is a sudden contraction of the diaphragm. This abrupt rush of air air into the lungs causes the vocal cords to snap shut to check inflow of air resulting into the "hic" sound. Alcohol, carbonated beverages, spicy foods and chemotherapy treatments have been shown to be some of the causes of hiccups.  In most cases a hiccup will stop on its own but if it is problematic there are some home remedies that are effective in stopping a hiccup.

Home and Natural Remedy For Hiccups

• Take a dessert-spoon of cider vinegar. It takes your breath away and shocks the system into stopping hiccoughs.
• Put 300ml (1/2 pint ) of cider vinegar and 300ml (1/2pint ) of spring water into a glass jar with two tablespoons of fresh rosemary. Put the lid on the jar and leave it in a warm place-and airing cupboard is ideal. Leave it for 10 days, giving it a shake every time you remember it.Strain the vinegar and bottle it and drink it anytime you have a hiccup or a cough as well.

Apple Cider Vinegar Benefits: Cure Yourself

Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar has been used since time immemorial for treating all sorts of ills. From the ancient Egyptians, as far back as 3000 BC and Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine all sang the praises of apple cider vinegar.

Fermenting apple juice to alcoholic apple cider, and then letting the oxygen interact with it, turns the alcohol into acetic acid - one of the "magic" ingredients in the finished product. To help this process along from the alcoholic base, "mother" is added - that being the spider web look-alike bacteria foam that forms during the fermentation process.

Apple cider vinegar contains valuable minerals such as Phosphorus, Calcium, Sodium, Potassium, Iron, Magnesium, and Chlorine. It also contains Sulfur, Copper, Silicon, Fluorine,Provitamin beta-carotene, Pectin and malic acid.

Benefits

A Japanese study in 2009, by the Cancer Research Institute, Mizkan Group Corporation showed that taking apple cider vinegar reduces body weight, Body Mass Index (BMI) and Body Fat Mass. It further showed that continuous intake of apple cider vinegar was found to lower Serum TG levels. In the study each group drank a 500ml drink containing either 30ml,15ml, or 0ml of vinegar daily for 12 weeks. Those in the 30ml and 15ml groups had lower BMI, visceral fat area, waist circumference, serum triglyceride, and body weight than the control group of 0ml.

Apple cider vinegar is also used in Dr Schulze 'Cold Sheet Treatment' Garlic Injection into the rectum. To do this you will need a rectal syringe that you can get from a pharmacy or drug store. Ingredients are 8-10 large organic garlic cloves in a blender with 50 percent apple cider vinegar and 50 percent distilled water. You need to get  all this solution all at once quickly with the rectal syringe because once you get it in you will want to expel it all at once.

Dr Richard Schulze considers the 'cold sheet treatment' as the most effective hydrotherapy procedure and he uses it for all incurable diseases

Side effects

Long-term intake of apple cider vinegar or any acetic acid in  high dosage intake can lower potassium levels in the body as well as reduce bone density. It is suggested that people who have diabetes should talk to their doctors before using ACV. Since ACV is highly acidic, it is recommended to mix the dosage with water or juice
