HERBAL VINEGARS FOR HEALTHY SKIN AND HAIR

摘要

Vinegar is one of the oldest fermented food products known to humans. The word vinegar comes from the French vin aigre, which means "sour wine." When a fermented liquid, such as wine, is exposed to air, bacterial activity occurs. The end result is acetic acid, also known as sour vinegar. Herbal vinegars provide a simple way to use fresh and dried herbs from your garden. Just fill a clean jar with apple cider vinegar or white vinegar and add your favorite herbs. Let the jar sit for two weeks and you'll have a vinegar you can use in cooking or for cosmetic uses. The restorative powers of vinegar have been employed since ancient times. Helen of Troy was known for taking vinegar baths. She would add a cup or two of vinegar to her water and the liquid would cleanse and soothe her skin. Vinegar is also a classic treatment for sunburn, bad breath, and dandruff. Here are a few more herbal vinegar recipes for you to enjoy.
