At first I could not think of why and then I remembered what I used as a rinse. There are many home remedies we can use but sometimes chose to purchase instead.
@Katcat1, what is a BBB?

There are supposed to be all kinds of health benefits to ACV. I didn't know about using it as a toner.
I have diabetes..and if my blood sugar is high..I take a Tbl of ACV in a cup of water..and it brings it down..I also like the natural ACV with the mother...

I only use Braggs with the mother. It appears to be helping my eczema a bit.

Hi Emmysmom. Yes...have him try it. It takes awhile to work, but I think it is helping as I've been drinking it more regularly. Just don't let him drink it full strength. The recommended amount is actually one tbsp. to a full cup of water or juice, but I usually put it down to about 5 ounces. I may have to start adding more liquid so I don't get any tooth enamel damage or esophageal issues. Good luck!!

I cannot drink mine in water. It's too gross. I need to do the shot and be done with it. I follow it with an 8oz glass of water and 30 minutes later I brush my teeth. I spoke to my dentist about it and he said that isn't going to cause a problem. The amount I drink isn't a problem amount, especially when followed by water.
I also cannot find anything about esophageal issues other than it can burn your esophagus when drinking it, meaning it can burn the same way doing a shot of say tequila or vodka burns your esophagus when you do that. Not that it causes permanent damage.
The amount I take was on the suggestion of my Gastroenterologist because of stomach/acid reflux issues I have.

Experiment with the ratios of ACV to water and see what your skin likes and responds to the most. You will know when you find it. You can use a bit less than a 1:2 ratio, You can also add some witch hazel, tea tree oil or lavender etc as well.

I don't use ACV consistently the way I should BUT when I Do...I mix it with a liquid, say 4 oz and I use a STRAW that is the main thing. I also rinse my mouth out with water afterwards and spit out the water.
I have heard it is great for HBP which I have, and DIAB.
I have a small refrigerator at work and I bought a bottle to work and put it in my fridge. I am trying to take it religously.
