Tilt your head back and gargle this mixture for up to two minutes, making sure to spit it out and rinse your teeth after using. This may help with uncomfortable congestion.

Although taking a Carbs-fat diet is essential, according to a balanced diet chart, sometimes we tend to binge-eat, which leads to an increase in carbs & fat levels. Since acetic acid is present in ACV as our saviour, which helps in the breakdown of carbohydrates to sugar in the bloodstream.

Not only the skin, but hair too, ACV has taken care of everything.
Since dandruff is a condition marked by flakes of dry skin on the scalp, and due to the ACV's acidic nature, the pH of the hair is also balanced, making it smoother, stronger, and shinier.
1. Shampoo and condition your hair properly.
2. Add 1/4th cup of Apple cider vinegar in 1 mug of plain water.
3. Pour this mixture evenly on the hair and scalp.
4. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
5. Rinse it with plain water for healthy and shiny hair.
6. Repeat this once a week for at least a month to get rid of dandruff and for shiny hair.
Indeed, it fulfills the criteria of the first-hand miracle, but every coin has two sides. So, I would humbly request to keep two things in mind while using ACV.
1. Always use in diluted form since it's an acid after all, and in fewer quantities.
2. Do a small patch test on the skin before using ACV.
