- 1 tablespoon raw apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon raw honey

HEALTH BENEFITS OF APPLE CIDER VINEGAR AND RAW HONEY:
In the words of my favorite Eastern medicine practitioner, “If it didn’t work, it wouldn’t have been passed down for so long.” Some of the best remedies are super simple, easily accessible, inexpensive, and worked into everyday routines.
Apple cider vinegar is a raw fermented food that has a rich history of healing and bringing the body into balance. Talk about this remedy when you’re among your grandmother and her friends, and you will most likely hear a few of them tell you that their mothers took a shot glass of apple cider vinegar every morning.
Raw honey also has been used for thousands of years as a health food as well as a sweetener. Local honey is great, but make sure it is truly raw for this recipe to benefit from the enzymes present.
The traditional health benefits of this drink combination, especially on an empty stomach are numerous:
- Digestion
- Weight loss
- PMS help
- Reduce inflammation
- Relieve a sore throat
- Help with seasonal allergies
- Regulates stomach acid, relieving acid reflux
- Promotes clear skin
- Increases energy
When there is a traditional remedy like this that is easy to do, I encourage everyone to try it. See if you can make this honey and apple cider vinegar drink fit into your daily routine this winter, and report back any changes that you’ve noticed!
