13 Great Ways You Can Use Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple Cider Vinegar is often used for salad
dressings, marinades, vinaigrettes, and chutneys, but that’s not all:
It’s also known to prolong the feeling of satiety after eating, it has
well-documented anti-glycemic effects, and quite a few other uses that
everyone should know about.
1. Detox Tea
2. Varicose Vein Remover

your dog doesn't like being sprayed, use a soaked washcloth instead.
You can also add a teaspoon of organic apple cider vinegar to the dog's
water twice a week for similar results. Be sure to use organic ACV, as
the more processed kind is not good for dogs.
