One of the most versatile ingredients you can keep in your home is apple cider vinegar. It can be used for cleaning almost everything and is also a great natural health product. I keep a couple bottles in the house at all times and my kids know to grab it too.

Apple cider vinegar makes a great facial toner and mask. If you or your kids have acne, use it on your face to help. I make a mask out of clay powder mixed with the vinegar. Smear it on your face and let it sit for about 30 minutes. I also use it as a toner after opening my pores with hot water and a cleanser.

It makes a great gargle. Mix it in some warm water with salt, honey and hot sauce and it will relieve a sore throat instantly. My kids do not like this, they say it tastes nasty, but they have to admit that it works.

This vinegar is rich in potassium. It helps with high blood pressure and the bad cholesterol in your body. It can also help put your body in a better state of health and possibly help prevent cancer.

I have found that if I am having a problem with constipation, apple cider vinegar will take care of it. I mix one tablespoon of the vinegar into a galls of water and drink it down quickly. It usually only takes a couple of hours to do the trick and will not give you stomach cramps many other laxatives give you.

This vinegar can also be used for many household cleaning purposes. I always clean my shower walls with a gallon of water mixed with a cup of vinegar mixed in. I slosh the mixture all over the shower and let it start to dry then wipe it down with a cloth. The shower sparkles and smells fresh.

For a clean smelling kitchen, I use the same mixture on countertops and tile floors. It easily gets rid of any unwanted odors in the house. Anywhere in the house that smells funny can be freshened with a few sprays of vinegar. The odor of the vinegar does not linger for more than a few minutes. It is great when you are house training a puppy. The vinegar will clean a urine spot, get rid of the smell and not leave a mark.

You cannot beat the price of apple cider vinegar no matter what you are using it for. You can easily keep a couple of bottles on hand and around the house for cleaning and curing. Spray it around baseboards and door frames to keep ants from coming into the house while not bothering any pets.
