Apple Vinegar can be used in so many different ways that we guarantee that by the time you read this article, you'll be familiar with almost every one room of your house should have a bottle - no kidding!

Let's get down to the most important details first: If you want to take full advantage of apple cider vinegar and plan to use it for food or cosmetic purposes, you should go for its raw, unpasteurized and organic version. Our organic shop offers different types of this product! Why exactly? Because only in unprocessed, preservative-free form does apple cider vinegar retain all of its beneficial properties. You can tell that a good vinegar is cloudy and has a kind of fuzz at the bottom: this is what's called mother vinegar, which contains the enzymes that make the vinegar work properly. What is this action? Here are five of our favorite uses for apple cider vinegar!

Tonic

Bloggers who use natural beauty methods have long touted the benefits of apple cider vinegar as a tonic. Diluted in a 1:2 ratio with water and used to wipe the face once a day, apple cider vinegar brightens the complexion, accelerates the healing of scars and blemishes, prevents the formation of new ones and also acts as a very gentle enzyme peel.

Hair conditioner

Rinse your hair with diluted apple cider vinegar after washing your hair and your hair will have exceptional shine and softness. Vinegar helps to balance the hair's pH and close the cuticle, leaving it nourished and soft. Vinegar's antibacterial properties can also help get rid of dandruff. An apple cider vinegar rinse also proves effective when your problem is a layer of styling products that has built up on your hair, leaving it flat, dull and lifeless. Don't worry about the intense vinegar smell: it will dissipate as soon as you dry your hair!

Gurgling

We're in the middle of the cold season, so it's important to remember that gargling with a few tablespoons of apple cider vinegar dissolved in lukewarm water will help relieve sore throat and swelling and the uncomfortable symptoms of a cold to alleviate.

Natural Detergent

Good news for all allergy sufferers and people worried about the high levels of toxic chemicals in their environment: Apple cider vinegar mixed in a 1:1 ratio with water, used as a spray or liquid, is a universal cleaning agent that does surprisingly well with different kinds of dirt.

A means to eliminate unpleasant odors

You want to remove unpleasant odors from your home? Pour about a cup of apple cider vinegar into a bowl and leave the "deodorant" in it for a few hours. A quicker but slightly more drastic way is to boil a similar amount of apple cider vinegar in a saucepan until its pungent sour apple smell fills the room. The pungent smell of vinegar will quickly disappear, and with it the unpleasant odor you were trying to get rid of.
