Eye Spy...A Magic Elixir

This weeks "Eye Spy" theme was provided by BadSkirt. Play along weekly over at Bug and Pop

Local Honey - YUM

Being a life-long dancer causes certain unpleasant ailments. At the elderly age of twenty-six I already have a nasty bit of arthritis in my left knee. My mom has been trying out an apple cider vinegar and honey remedy for a few months now and has noticed a significant difference in her shoulder pain (from all of that chopping and stirring and cooking!). Interesting facts about this remedy can be found at Arthritis Reviews.

Today, in honor of the "magic elixir" theme, I stirred up my first batch.

Apple Cider Vinegar and Honey Remedy

1 tablespoon of organic apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon of honey
1 teaspoon of baking soda

Mix in a glass and cover with chilled water. Take twice daily!

Weird, I've been doing this since Christmas (minus the baking soda) and I have noticed that my knees no longer hurt when I exercise.

I also put the ACV on my face twice a day. I think it's a miracle product!

PS) Make sure you use Bragg's, or other organic ACV and not just Heinz kitchen vinegar.

Hmm, interesting. I might have to try this next time my shoulder plays up. I totally agree that ACV is magical...I use it as my hair conditioner and it's truly amazing stuff.

Yes I have been thinking about using ACV on my hair for a little while. Just gotta find some! Good luck with your knee!

I have never heard of this -- I'll have to see if I can talk my husband into trying it for his joint trouble. I don't know if he'll do it, but sounds like it's worth a shot!

When you say "take twice daily" did you mean take a glass (assuming 8oz) twice daily or take twice daily from that glass for the total of one glass? I guess I was confused with recipe. Thanks for sharing.
