About 2 weeks ago, I awoke one morning with a throbbing headache and a knot the size of a golf ball on my forehead. The pain was unbelievable. My husband inspected it but could not find any bite marks (we thought maybe something had bitten me in my sleep). I don't easily go to the doctor so I decided to wait it out. It only got bigger and more painful. No redness, no warmth, just swelling and pain. I tried warm compresses, tea tree ointment, ice packs and even a heating pad. I was miserable. I had read in a farm mag not too long ago about using apple cider vinegar for various ailments. I was to the point of going to the ER, which would have been only my 2nd ER visit in my entire 47 years of life. The swelling had gotten so bad it was putting pressure on my temple and making me nauseated. I decided to give one more home remedy a try and yesterday during my shower I pour a cup of the vinegar on my hair. By noon I could tell a considerable amount of the swelling was gone. Last night I put some of the vinegar on a gauze and placed it over the knot. Morning came and the knot was almost gone and no pain. This morning I rinsed my hair with it again. The knot and pain are now completely gone. The only bad part about the whole process is I've been asked at least 50 times if I had been eating pickles.
Begin each morning with a song in your heart. |

My husbands Aunt Patsy said if you have heartburn to take a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, but it has to have the mother in it.
Glad you are okay Victoria. By the way where in Tx are you?

| If you take just 1 TBLSP of Apple Cider Vinegar a day (or a pill they sell) you will notice much shorter nad lighter periods! |

Jacksonville is in deep East Texas. About 20 miles south of Tyler.

Apple cider vinegar is wonderful if you want to shed a few pounds. Put a teaspoon in a teaglass of water, add a little honey, and your appetite will drop. I used it to keep down water weight when Aunt Flo visited, and it always worked!
An eighth of a cup in warm bathwater helps to stop itching and makes your skin softer.

My mother in law loves apple cider vinegar. She uses it to soak her feet where she has swelling and arthritis, it works great.
The good old days are the ones you live today... |

I'm a huge fan of ACV too! I drink it twice a day in an ice cold class of water. It has helped me with so many things, that I have made it part of my daily routine these past few years. According to studies it helps many different things, kidney, liver,arthritis, and more! I have experimented with quitting for a few weeks and was amazed how fast my aches and pains came back. It works great for me!

Jennifer, do you know where you can buy ACV with the mother in it?

I have to tell you I'm a believer in it too. My husband was having terrible leg spasms in the middle of the night after working outside all day and I read on the internet that acv will stop the cramps and it really did. He took a couple of tablespoons before bed and never had cramps. The nights he missed taking it the cramps came back. Just wanted Hi neighbor to eastTXFarmgirl! You probably don't live all that far from me.

There was a book many years ago called Vermont Folklore medicine. The entire book was based on Apple Cider Vinegar and honey. Just remember never feed honey to a baby under the age of two.

| You should read the book about ACV by Patricia Bragg. It's a very interesting book and gives lots of home remedies involving raw apple cider vinegar. |

You need to find out what it was. So glad it is gone, but what caused this?
