Another miracle use for vinegar: curing hiccups! A tiny sip of full strenght vinegar will cure hiccups every time. I’ve been using this cure for 30+ years and it has never failed. It doesn’t seem to matter if it is ACV or white distilled.

Half distilled white vinegar (from grocery store) mixed with half water (and if desired a few drops of essential oils such as lavender) works great as a deodorant. This is not an antiperspirant, but I stopped antiperspirants ages ago because they shut down a normal bodily process; we do need to be able to sweat. My deodorant mixture works great and controls perspiration odors for a day. Beyond that, no, but I bathe and reapply deodorant daily so it works effectively for me. Mix up a bigger batch in a jar for refills and use a smaller pump spray for daily use. Vinegar smell evaporates in minutes; you do need to allow drying time since this is a watery deodorant. Cheap, effective, convenient, non-toxic.

Problem: My 25 year old toilet takes 2 to 3 flushes for it to work right. Solved this problem by putting one gallon of White Vinegar into the toilet tank and two gallons of White Vinegar into the toilet seat. I did this around 7 p.m. I closed the door to the restroom (vinegar smell). I let it stand unused for 15 hours. Then in the morning around 10 A.M., I turned on the water to the toilet and I flushed it. I also brought in the outside water hose and ran water into the toilet seat (at full force) for about 5 minutes, to make sure that 25 year old hard water mineral deposits left my toilet, plumbing and my property. Now it flushes beautifully, like a brand new toilet. IF YOU ARE GOING TO DO THIS PLEASE READ ON! YOU MUST KNOW I did use the White Vinegar at full strength (no water in the tank or seat). BEFORE YOU DO ANY OF THIS, FIRST PREPARE THE TOILET SEAT AND TANK for empting by Turning off the water to the toilet. Than flush the toilet. Now remove the toilet tank top lid. Now flush again and hold up the tank’s rubber flapper until all the water leaves the tank. Next, dump a bucket full of water into the toilet seat. This dumping of a bucket of water (believe it or not) actually forces all the water to clear the toilet seat. Now you can deal with those three gallons of White Vinegar at the beginning of this post.

Just wanted to share – 2 Tbsp or 2 tablets a day of pure ACV has really helped with my palpitations. I get PVCs/PACs – esp around my period. Taking ACV has made a significant difference. Of course, talk to your Doc about it…but I don’t see how it can hurt.

Just want to add…if you use apple cider vinegar for body odor, spray armpit before shower and use Safeguard soap. It definitely kills the bacteria that causes odor. But this second part is a must! You must wash all your clothes in 1/2 cup of white vinegar to kill the lingering bacteria! If you do not, spraying the pits is a waste of time. I’ve been deodorant free for over 2 years now. Definately works!

I love onions but hate the after taste AND what they do to my stomach. So today, I thought, “What could get rid of this horrible taste?” That’s right – I thought of something even more potent – vinegar! I swished my mouth out a few times with it, and then I drank a few table spoons. No more onion breath and no indigestion. Wala! Vinegar strikes again, working better than any anti-acid pill or liquid I have ever tried. Now you may eat your onions and enjoy your night afterward, too. lol

I’ve always read that you should only use 1-2 tablespoons of ACV per 1 cup of water to clean/soften hair. On this site it says to use 8 tablespoons of ACV per 1 cup of water. Isn’t this too concentrated?
