White Vinegar for Cuticle Infection

I have the terrible habit of chewing my cuticles and notoriously they will bleed and get sore and infected. I soak them in white vinegar and although it stings, the pain subsides almost immediately and infection never sets in.

Can white vinegar also help to stop menstruation?


Yeast in Dogs

There is sugar in the ACV and sugar feeds the yeast. Thats why people say to use the White vinegar. The only down fall is if there is any soars, it will burn. I was told to try garlic oil if there were any soares. I've used the WV and it worked great. Hve not needed to use the Garlic Oil yet.

I use it all the time for cleaning too! I dilute it with water & add a little Mr. Clean for an extra boost in a spray bottle. I use it on all my appliances, granite counter-tops & windows.

WARNING!

I do not know if people have been warned about drinking distilled vinegar, but don't do it, it's great as a cleaning agent or for pickles but not to be used like organic raw vinegar.White distilled vinegar if taken in large doses destroys red blood cells and will cause severe anemia. Just a heads up! Get organic raw vinegar at health food store or you can order it online.

Splinters

White vinegar removed a splinter quickly and pain free! My 2 year old son grabbed a catus and had, what seemed like, hundreds of splinters all over his hand. We soaked it in a bowl of plain, white vinegar and the splinters all popped out on their own!

White vinegar is amazing stuff! It has cured my toenail fungus, my daughter's athlete foot & my son's, & a dry, brittle hair.

I am in the process of using it for dog mites now. I have cleaned the flooring thoroughly with White vinegar/Eucalyptus oil/Tea Tree oil/Lavender for killing sarcoptic mange mites. It kills instantly. I make the solution up in my extracter with straight white vinegar & 1/4th of the essential oils added in. I have the same mixture in a spray bottle for spraying down couches, mattresses, etc. also. I am using the spray on a cottonball right now for our dog's ears. It calms them fast from scratching the mites. I'll let you know if it cures the mange when they are cured.:)

I use it to clean our counters/bathrooms, linoleum & haven't had an ant epidemic since. I've lived here for 14 years & had ants every year up to last year when I began using this spray of white vinegar. It kills germs fast!

Excellent for getting rid of yellow, stuck on grease also!

Health wise, I can't say enough about white vinegar!

Strange that a strong smell like vinegar would eliminate odors altogether, but it will. The vinegar smell disappears after awhile and leaves nothing behind.

For Poison Ivy: Mix baking soda and distilled white vinegar to make a paste (will foam up), rub on infected area. It will burn but will dry up the rash in no time. reapply as needed.

I use White Vinegar on the outside of my horses for a fly spray and to kill any "fungus" they may have.

The vinegar is used by my husband who works for a major European Airline. He uses the vinegar to cleanse the toilets. Two litres of vinegar to five pounds of ice and voila clean smelling lavs. The manager of this carrier saves a bundle. The alternative is a commercially prepared liquid which costs 20 dollars a pop.

Because of such a severe case of contact dermatitis from overuse of yeast medicines, I was left unable to walk or sit comfortably, and my skin was too sensitive for any topical medications, and oral cortisone only worked temporarily. My mother suggested using 4 tbs. of white vinegar with some juice to kill the taste. I'm glad to tell you that the vinegar, along with rest, has put me on the road to recovery in only 4 days after battling this illness for 4 months!

1. Aspirin first, it will reduce the pain.
2. A cool wet compress will also make you feel better instantly.
3. Soak in a tub of cool water and add a cup of white vinegar to the bath. It helps a lot.

I was able to break a fever using white vinegar on cloths placed on my throat & both wrists. Yes, it did smell but it broke my 104 degree temp in no time. Amazing!

I was going on a tip from a friend that the acid in vinegar should neutralize acid reflux. I think I may have overdone it as I took about 3/4 of a shot glass and downed it. Yes it tasted awful and I thought I'd be sick but I drank some water and so far, so good. It's been about an hour and it hasn't hurt yet. The big test is in bed. I'm going to bed right away so I hope the pain stays away so I can get a good night's sleep. Will try ACV instead for next time.
