Vinegar was originally used as a food preservative but as it turns out vinegar has medicinal uses as well. You can use vinegar for a large number of things.
Vinegar has been used to treat everything from poison ivy to stomach aches and that’s just a start. In French vinegar means ‘sour wine’ it can be made from just about any carbohydrate that can be fermented.
This includes grapes, potatoes, dates, beets, and apples. Most manufacturers pasteurize and filter their vinegar in order to prevent the ‘mother’ from forming (Mother being a cobweb like amino acid based substance.)
But if you can get some that is murky so to say, would honestly be the best to get.
I recommend keeping at least a jug of vinegar around your house at all times. You never know when it might come in handy.
